Norovirus is back—and we’ve been seeing a lot of it the past week or two. It’s spreading fast, and once it’s in the house it can feel impossible to contain. Here are practical, parent-tested tips to get through it and help protect the rest of the family.

1) Prep + contain (before it hits the carpet)

First: I keep disposable vomit bags in the car and by the bed/couch. It saves mess, stress, and exposure when kids can’t make it to the bathroom.

2) Cleaning that actually works for norovirus

Norovirus is tough. Here’s what helps:

• Laundry: Wash anything they touch (pajamas, towels, bedding) in hot water on the longest cycle, then dry on high heat.

• Dishes: Run the dishwasher on sanitize mode (or hottest setting).

• Carpet cleanup: If there’s vomit on carpet, it needs a real deep clean—steam cleaning with sustained heat (we aim for a full treatment, not a quick pass).

• Counters + high-touch surfaces: Yes… bleach products. CDC recommends a bleach solution 1,000–5,000 ppm for disinfection and to leave it on the surface for at least 5 minutes.�My personal method: gloves on, doors/windows open, air purifier running, kids nowhere near it.

Also: hand sanitizer alone isn’t great against norovirus—soap + water wins.

3) Hydration is the whole game (especially for kids)
Norovirus can cause rapid fluid loss. Go for small sips often, not big gulps.

• Electrolytes / oral rehydration are usually more helpful than plain water when vomiting/diarrhea is active.

• Easy foods (as tolerated): crackers, bananas, applesauce (and whatever bland option they’ll accept).

4) When to reach out

If your child (or you) has persistent vomiting and can’t keep fluids down, or you’re seeing signs of dehydration like:

• not peeing much, dry mouth, dizziness

• kids: no tears, unusual sleepiness/fussiness
�…that’s a sign to get help. Severe dehydration may require IV fluids.

If appropriate, we can come to you and provide Zofran and/or IV therapy to help you recover safely and faster.

If you’re feeling like cedar/pollen season is winning right now—itchy eyes, nonstop sneezing, post-nasal drip, sinus pressure—you’re not alone.

Here are our go-to’s for adults (the quick “toolkit” we reach for most often), plus simple habits that make a noticeable difference.

Adult seasonal allergies “toolkit”

• D-Hist (histamine support)
• Xlear / Xlear Sinus (nasal rinse support after outdoor time)
• Rowe Casa Sinus Decongestant (when you’re feeling stuffed up)
• Rowe Casa Sinus + Headache (for pressure days)
• Genexa Allergy
• AllergyCalm
• Rowe Casa Lymphatic Cream
• doTERRA Breathe�
Tips that help (and they’re free)

• Shower before bed (pollen sits on hair/skin)

• Change sheets + pillowcases more oftenduring peak season

• Rinse your nose after being outside(especially after walks, yard work, kids’ sports)

• Consider a bedroom AirDoctor/HEPA air filter

• Try a short-term reset: reduce high-histamine foods if you notice you’re extra reactive

• Local raw honey (optional—some love it, some don’t notice a difference)

If your allergies keep dragging on, turning into sinus infections, or you’re never sure if it’s allergies vs. a virus—we can help you make a plan (including a more integrative/root-cause approach if that’s what you’re looking for).

Not medical advice. Always follow product labels and check with your clinician/pharmacist, especially if you’re pregnant, have high blood pressure, heart/kidney conditions, asthma, or take other medications. Essential oils aren’t for everyone—use age-appropriate guidance, dilute properly, and stop if irritation occurs.

Seasonal allergies aren’t just a pollen problem. From a functional medicine lens, we often see them as a sign of an immune system that’s become hyper-reactive with lower tolerance—usually because the body’s total “inflammatory load” is already high.

Instead of only asking, “What are you allergic to?” we also ask:
�“What’s making your system so reactive in the first place?”

🎯 Primary goals we focus on:�
• Calm immune overreaction�• Lower overall histamine burden�• Support the gut–immune axis (a huge driver for many people)�• Reduce total inflammatory load�• Improve “barrier integrity” (gut + nasal) and support detox pathways

✨ End goal:
�Not just stronger antihistamines every spring—�but fewer reactions, shorter seasons, and milder symptoms… and for some people, allergies that improve dramatically over time.

If you’re tired of feeling like you’re doomed to suffer every year, we can help you take a root-cause approach and build a personalized plan.

Seasonal allergies in kids can be so sneaky—one day it’s “just sniffles,” the next it’s watery eyes, throat clearing, and everyone waking up cranky. If your family is in it right now, you’re not alone.

Here are my go-to’s for my own family when seasonal allergies flare (what we keep on hand + what we reach for first):

Our allergy “toolkit” (kids):

• Xlear (saline support for stuffy noses)
• Rowe Casa Sinus Decongestant nose spray
• Rowe Casa Sinus + Headache Salve
• D-Hist Jr
• Genexa Allergy
• Rowe Casa Lymph Cream
• AllerCalm Kids
• doTERRA Breathe (we use cautiously + age-appropriately)

Simple tips that make a big difference:

• Rinse the nose after being outside(especially after school/sports)

• Shower before bed (hair/skin hold onto pollen)

• Change sheets frequently (pollen loves pillows + blankets)

• Consider AirDoctor air filters in bedrooms/common areas

• Local raw honey (for kids 1+ only—never under age 1)

• If symptoms are intense: try reducing high-histamine foods for a short window and see if it helps (every kid is different)

If you’re not sure whether it’s allergies vs a virus (or symptoms are lingering), reach out—we’re happy to help you sort through it and make a plan.

Not medical advice. Always check age labels/dosing and talk with your child’s clinician—especially for kids with asthma/wheezing, chronic conditions, or if symptoms are severe. For essential oils: use age-appropriate guidance, dilute properly, and avoid if your child is sensitive.

Spring Break IV Prep ✈️💧

If you tend to land feeling dry, headachy, puffy, or wiped out, a pre-trip IV can be a simple way to support hydration before you’re playing catch-up.

Here’s the “why” (functional medicine lens, but still science-based):

• Flying = very low humidity (often ~10–20%), which can dry out eyes/mouth/airways and make you feel extra thirsty.

• IV fluids bypass the gut, which can be unpredictable when you’re stressed, not sleeping, fasting for early flights, or dealing with travel nausea.

• Electrolytes help hydration actually “stick” (not just run through you).

• Travel stress is real—and it can leave you feeling more run down than you expected.

• Travel also increases germ exposure, so we like going into trips feeling supported, not depleted.

Pre-hydration > catch-up hydration.
�If you want to prep with an IV before your trip, message us—we’ll help you choose what fits your needs. And yes, we can come to your home or office.

What’s going around right now: a whole mix—Flu A/B, RSV, stomach bug, cedar fever/allergies, and a big surprise lately: COVID that looks exactly like the flu.

More than once, I’ve looked at classic “flu” symptoms (sudden fever, body aches, headache, fatigue) and thought, “This is flu”… and the test comes back COVID. The tricky part is you can’t reliably tell the difference by symptoms alone—testing is what clarifies what you’re dealing with (and what precautions/treatment make sense).

If you’re unsure which test to take, when to be seen, or you need help sorting out symptoms for you or your kiddo—reach out. We can help guide next steps, and yes, we can come to your home or office.

Not medical advice. Seek urgent/emergency care for trouble breathing, chest pain, severe dehydration, blue lips/face, confusion, or rapidly worsening symptoms.

You’ll never guess what caused my patient’s kidney stones…

Over-supplementing vitamin D.

Vitamin D can be incredibly helpful for bone health, immune support, and hormones—but it’s also powerful, and “more” isn’t automatically better.

Here’s the simple physiology:

• Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium from the gut.

• If vitamin D intake becomes excessive for your body, calcium levels can rise (hypercalcemia). aka kidney stones; “calcium based stone formation”

• More calcium in circulation can mean more calcium in the urine (hypercalciuria), which can contribute to calcium-based stone formation in susceptible people.

This is why we say: test, don’t guess.

If you’re taking vitamin D (especially higher doses), it’s worth checking the right labs and making sure your plan fits your needs.

If you want help reviewing labs and taking an integrative approach (including nutrient deficiencies), Tribe can help.

Not medical advice. Talk with your clinician before starting or changing supplements—especially if you’ve had kidney stones, kidney disease, or are pregnant. If you have severe pain, fever, vomiting, trouble urinating, or worsening symptoms, seek urgent/emergency care.
