#HOA12Days – Dr. Wiggins’ Health Hacks for Bouncing Back From Colds/Flus

December 10, 2017 Leave a Comment

I’m Sick! Now What?

Sometimes immune support is just not enough! Especially combined with the holiday

season stress and lack of sleep. Here are 5 suggestions to make your life a little easier

when you are sick.

  1. IV Therapy – Get an immune boosting IV ASAP! As soon as you feel symptoms,

    call us! We can fill you up with vitamin C, Zinc and other support nutrients to get

    your immune system functioning in high gear. As mentioned in a previous post,

    high dose vitamin C and zinc can cause digestive side effects, IV therapy

    bypasses the digestive system to get you the nutrients you need.

  2. Steam inhalation – this is one of my favourites! Boil some water and pour it into

    a large bowl. Add 3-4 drops of eucalyptus essential oil. Sit hovering above the

    bowl with a large towel or blanket covering your head for a minimum of 10

    minutes. This will help to break up mucus in your sinuses and chest.

  3. Sleep – sleep deprivation has been shown to decrease immune cells. This

    decreases the bodies resources to respond to an infection. It is important to get

    7-8 hours of sleep per night when you are fighting something.


    *Tips
    – make sure your room is void of light and clutter. Make sure to dim lights

    1-2 hours before bed and do not use technology with a backlight. (If you must,

    make sure the brightness is turned down)

  4. Stop It Cold – this botanical spray is another one of my favourites! Nothing gets

    rid of a sore throat like it. Make sure to have on hand an use at the first sigh of

    symptoms. HOA Patients – we have had this on sale for cold and flu season just for

    you!

  5. Mushrooms – Beta glucans are the immune supporting compounds that define a

    mushroom as medicinal. My favourite is a product called Immune Builder. When you

    are feeling sick you can double your maintenance dose to shorten the duration of

    colds and flus.

 

As always – consult with your health care provider before you initiate any of these

recommendations to make sure they are right for you.

Read more about the gut-brain connection.⁠
⁠
👇🏽⁠
⁠
The way our brains and gut start out when we’re an embryo, is from the same point, with one system migrating up (our brain) and one system going down (our gut).⁠
⁠
With this history of being one and the same, there remains this bi-direction highway, where the two systems are in constant communication with each other.⁠
⁠
This explains why when we address digestive health in patients with gut concerns, we almost always see a positive alteration in mood and mental state. ⁠
⁠
We know the gut to hold trillions of friendly bacteria, with direct communication to the brain - with the majority of communication being from the gut to the brain.⁠
⁠
So you can imagine, when we’re seeing dysbiosis, or an overgrowth of harmful bacteria, this is going to have some level of impact on brain and cognition.⁠
⁠
To fully support mood and mental health, we must not forget about the support necessary for gut health.⁠
⁠
..even when your digestive health seems 'fine'.⁠

No one else has it figured out.  It's all our first go at this.⁠

⁠
→ Mental health is heavily correlated to physical health.⁠
⁠
〰️⁠
⁠
The mind-body connection is a fascinating one.⁠
⁠
We’re able to see a direct impact on our mental health, when our physical health is poor, and vice versa.⁠
⁠
It comes down to the thoughts we hold, how stressed we are, and our mental state, and how those can manifest in physical manner.⁠
⁠
A depiction of this, is how when we're stressed, we’re more likely to get sick.⁠
⁠
Have you noticed when your physical health isn't great, that your mental health also suffers? ⁠

Sixty percent of our immune system is in the gut.⁠
⁠
☕️⁠
⁠
The immune system is so heavily linked with the digestive tract, that any problem the digestive system comes in contact with, the immune cells are ready to take action.⁠
⁠
The result → increased generalized inflammation.⁠
⁠
〰️⁠
⁠
We know generalized inflammation to be one of the leading contributors to chronic disease, making our attempts to lessen it, ever so important.⁠
⁠
This includes leading to increased mental health concerns, like anxiety, low moods, and depression.⁠
⁠
By tackling inflammation and supporting optimal digestive health, we can really start to pave the way for improved mental health.⁠
⁠
Save this post, when you're needing a little reminder to not forget about supporting your digestive system, especially when you're not feeling your best 🤍⁠
