Winter is the perfect time to add more immune-supportive foods to your meals.

Small additions can make a big difference—like tossing antioxidant-rich cranberries into roasted veggies, sipping nourishing bone broth, cooking with anti-inflammatory herbs, or blending berry-packed smoothies for vitamin C and polyphenols.

These simple choices help reduce inflammation, strengthen your immune response, and keep you feeling your best all season long.

When stress becomes constant, it takes a toll on your immune system.

Chronic activation of the HPA axis raises stress hormone levels, which can:
• Reduce immune cell activity
• Lower antibody production
• Disrupt the gut microbiome
• Decrease sleep quality
• Increase your risk of infection

It’s not cortisol itself—it’s the overload that throws the body out of balance.

Small steps like better sleep, movement, nature time, and mindfulness can help reset your system and support immunity.

Calling all dessert lovers!

Warm, cozy, and naturally sweet—this Ginger Apple Crisp brings together apples, fresh ginger, cinnamon, oats, and maple syrup for the perfect winter treat.

Made with whole-food ingredients like honey crisp apples, oats, almond flour, walnuts, and warming spices, it’s a delicious way to honor seasonal produce while keeping dessert nourishing.

Enjoy it fresh from the oven with coconut cream or your favorite ice cream. Comfort food, the FAME way.

Strong immunity starts with the nutrients your body relies on every day.

Vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and omega-3s all play essential roles in defending against infections and bugs and keeping our immune systems strong.

You can find these immune-boosting nutrients in whole foods like colorful fruits and veggies, fermented foods, nuts and seeds, and fatty fish.

Turning veggie scraps into nutrient-rich broth is one of the easiest ways to save money, reduce waste, and boost flavor in winter cooking.

Freeze leftover tops, skins, stems, and ends from onions, garlic, leeks, carrots, celery, and mushrooms. When the bag is full, simmer everything with water, herbs, and salt for a few hours.

Warm, homemade broth is perfect for soups, stews, grains, and cozy meals all season long. Simple, sustainable, delicious.

Eating with the seasons is one of the simplest ways to support your energy, digestion, and immune health in winter.

Root vegetables, brassicas, and citrus fruits are packed with the nutrients your body naturally craves this time of year—warming, grounding, and full of antioxidants.

Think roasted veggies, hearty soups, stews, and bright citrus to balance the colder months. Seasonal eating = delicious, nourishing, and budget-friendly.

Food is connection.

Sharing meals reminds us that food is more than nourishment; it’s a bridge to the people and places we love. Whether it’s a holiday dinner, a casual potluck, or cooking with someone you care about, food brings us together in meaningful ways.

This season, savor the moments of connection just as much as the meals themselves.
