Does cold weather really weaken your immune system?
Dr. Monika Wells, internal medicine physician at Capitol Hill Medical Center, breaks down common winter immunity myths and shares what actually supports your immune system:
✔️ Vaccines help prevent severe illness and can support recovery
✔️ Spending time with friends lowers stress and supports overall well-being
✔️ 7–8 hours of quality sleep helps regulate and restore your immune system
✔️ Moderate exercise (~150 minutes/week) can give your immunity a boost, just take it easy when you’re sick
✔️ Multivitamins can help fill gaps, but whole foods, hydration, and guidance from your care team matter most
