Acutally, I think it's all of the above.

It's the season of respiratory viruses, most likely you know someone who is sick right now!

You might notice a connection between not getting enough sleep, not getting enough nutrients, not getting enough movement and falling ill. That connection is a reality because those practices make it harder for your immune system to fight off viruses.

We're here to help guide you if you are struggling with any of these behaviors to help you create the best immune system possible this cold and flu season.

Many of us overeat nutrient poor processed foods. It's particularly important to focus on protein and fiber because these foods tend to be rich in nutrients, low in calories. Protein and fiber rich foods are also very satisfying, reducing over eating. This is key for managing diabetes and losing fat!

This graphic shows what 25-35 grams of protein might look like. This is a good target amount for most meals.

Since 2012, Northwest Septembers are known for smoky skies as wildfires kick up after dry summers. It is important to support your health when smoke is in the air- particularly if you have a health condition that affects your breathing. If you've been wondering what to do besides considering a mask on the worst smoky days, read on for our top tips.

1. Hydration: staying hydrated with plenty of water helps flush the smoke particles you breathe in from your sytem. You need to be urinating at MINIMUM 4-6 times per day, so adjust your fluid intake as needed to ensure that you are.

2. Warm Liquids: I know it's hot out and drinking something warm might sound weird! When the smoke really has you down, consider a cup of respiratory supportive tea-such as the Qwibil Immune Support tea, Throat Coat, Green tea or a licorice blend. These help soothe the respiratory tract.

3. Saline Nasal Spray: Nasal sprays moisten and help the cilia (little hairs) lining your respiratory tract to move smoke particles out.

4. Vitamin C: Smoke exposure causes oxidative damage, which uses up our vitamin C. Consider a supplement, or eating plenty of fresh fruits and veggies during smoky times.

5. Neti Pot/nasal rinse: When you’re exposed to smoke, pollutants can get trapped in your nasal passage. If allowed to remain, they can easily travel to the lungs and cause additional issues.

6. Support glutathione production: Smoke causes oxidative damage, supporting glutathione supports detoxifcation and reduces oxidative damage. Consider adding NAC (N-acetyl-cysteine), liver supportive herbs like milk thistle, or liposomal glutathione. For severe symptoms, we offer IV therapy to help support glutathione production.

7. Nutrient dense diet: Stock up on flavonoid-rich foods like strawberries, green tea, black tea, brussels sprouts, beans, onions, and apples to help your body deal with smoke. At the very least take a good quality multivitamin daily.

8. Rest: sleep is when your body heals, so prioritize rest when your body is under stress.

It's September when many of our patients ask about immune support for frequent fall and winter infections like the common cold, flu, covid and RSV. Although you can catch these illnesses at any time of year, they are more common in the fall and winter.

Here are our top eight tips to support healthy immune function.

1. Sleep enough- most adults need 6-8 hours/night.
2. Healthy diet with enough protein and plenty of nutrients from real food
3. Movement. Ideally muscle building, aerobic/cardio + balance/flexibility work.
4. Wash your hands regularly. Especially after using the bathroom and when around illness.
5. Don’t smoke or v**e, or if that’s not where you are now, try reduce how often you do.
6. Avoid, limit or moderate alcohol intake.
7. Minimize stress when possible, and learn to manage stress when it shows up for you.
8. Supplementation via liquids, pills, powders, IV therapy.

We love to work directly with you to personalize your immune support system, and to support you in creating habits that support all 8 of these key behaviors. Want to learn even more? Check out our blog post at www.qwibil.com for more discussion.

If you've seen the word "microplastics" and wondered what they are, our newest blog post has all the details you were curious about.

Although microplastics are impossible to avoid in the environment today there are many things we can to do reduce new microplastics from forming and protect not only us, but the seven generations to follow us.

My favorite simple routine changes to minimize your microplastic exposure.
1. Choose reusable drink containers such as an insulated mug for hot drinks and a bottle for water. Refill rather than purchase single use plastic.
2. Choose glass or aluminum cans over plastic bottles. Glass and aluminum do not release microplastics and are recycleable.
3. Choose reusable flatware by carrying a spoon and fork for takeout and meals on the go. I keep a set in my bag- you can keep them wrapped in a cloth napkin tied with string.
4. Choose reusable straws made of glass or metal over plastic straws.
5. When shopping, try to purchase food without plastic packaging.
6. Dispose of all garbage properly and follow recycling guidelines.
7. Choose cosmetics without microbeads- the microbeads are microplastics.

You may call it , , or , but we'll go with for brevity. Look through my previous posts for more about the most prevalent of the over 100 cannabinoids found in cannabis plants! Save and share with friends who need more cannabis in their life! ⁠

Although identified over 50 years ago, this non has very little clinical research and none in humans! Like other cannabinoids, it is created in the plant from . ⁠

Researchers believe that CBC exhibits a clear case of the in that it may work optimally with other cannabinoids. So far most research has focused on the combo of THC + CBC, finding that the two cannabinoids together have a more powerful action that decreases response more than either cannabinoid individually. ⁠

CBC + THC elevate mood more than either cannabinoid individually.⁠

Preliminary research (not in humans) also indicate that:⁠
CBC, like CBG, has anti-cancer effects.⁠
CBC supports healthy brain function and may help against neurodegenerative disorders⁠
CBC may be useful in fighting acne⁠

You'll find CBC in small amount in cannabis and a few commercial preparations utilize this cannabinoid as a larger part of the formulation.

Delta 8 is a good option for patients who tolerate and and need a little extra help beyond CBD. It is safe to combine delta 8 with CBD. We strongly recommend starting with a low dose of this potent medicine, such as cutting the gummies into smaller portions or an inhale or two from the smoke. Use caution if combining with any prescription pain medicine or THC cannabis as they work together strongly. If you have questions about this please check with your !

If you currently use THC and desire similar effects, you may want a larger dosage of delta 8. Some references suggest that 50mg delta 8 is similar in effect to 20mg of THC. If you do not use THC, start with a very low dose of delta 8 until you learn how it works for you. Each person is unique. We recommend cutting the gummies into smaller pieces; a reasonable starting dose at MOST 1/8 of a 50mg gummy. Increase the dosage as appropriate for you. ⁠

Like THC, Delta 8 has psychoactive properties. You can think of it as "THC Lite". Delta 8 has more mild effects than THC and can be better tolerated by people who may not like the effects of THC. Delta 8 is unlikely to cause anxiety and paranoia, which are somewhat common with THC.

8 can be helpful for anything you use THC for, including , , , , , support, , relieve , improve focus, improve .

Exercise helps the body better handle stress in several different ways. During periods of high stress it is critical to schedule time to move your body!

Exercise stimulates the release of endorphins and regulates cortisol. Endorphins act to reduce pain and improve mood. Regular exercise helps your body's cortisol response to stress. If you've been considering a trendy medication or supplement to help with stress, or with cortisol levels- add exercise into your routine first.

Exercise improves sleep quality. Sleep is often poor during times of high stress- exercise helps you fall asleep and stay asleep more easily than you would otherwise. Most people want to avoid intense activity close to bedtime as it can keep you awake longer.

Exercise increases blood flow throughout the body, including to the brain! More blood flow in the brain leads to better mental clarity and processing.

Activities like yoga and tai chi emphasize the mind-body connection, promoting relaxation and stress reduction. Be sure to focus on even breathing and back off if necessary to keep a smooth flowing breath during these forms of exercise.

Exercise provides a healthy distraction from stressors, allowing you to focus on your body and movements.

Food sources of B12 are all animal based foods such as meat and dairy. Some research suggests that dairy based B12 is better absorbed than meat based B12. Regardless, most Americans consume enough B12. Even when you eat enough B12 in food, you can still be deficient. Some people do not absorb B12 well, have increased needs or are taking a medication that impacts B12 absorption. People who eat a plant based diet are often low in B12 because it is not found in plant based foods.

We can test for B12 deficiency with simple blood tests, my favorite is serum methylmalonic acid. This test is more sensitive for B12 deficiency than testing for B12- especially in patients who are using a B12 supplement but not utilizing it well in the body.

We can also give B12 shots *without* testing B12 status first if we suspect that you might have low B12 based on symptoms and/or diet. People who are low in B12 typically feel much better immediately after a B12 shot! B12 shots bypass all the absorption problems that can lead to deficiency so they are often the treatment of choice for people who eat animal foods but still have symptoms and/or low levels in their labs.

Dr Katrina offers B12 shots at Tribal Admin on Fridays, give us a call to find out where and get scheduled. 253-392-2400

YES!

Sweating is a very effective way of stimulating release of toxins from the body through the skin. A sweat lodge or sauna is an excellent way to do so, however, any activity that leads to increased sweating will release toxins from the body in your sweat.

For best results, rinse off afterwards to ensure that all unwanted substances aren't reabsorbed through your skin and drink plenty of water with electrolytes before, during, and after your session.

Another helpful and gentle way to stimulate detox is supporting liver health by avoiding alcohol and unnecessary drugs, drinking plenty of water, eating root vegetables and taking liver supportive herbs and nutrients.
