Itโs December, and Iโm seeing the pattern again: people are running on adrenaline, sleeping less, eating more sugar, and pushing through stressโฆ then the body crashes.
In Chinese medicine, weโre moving into โkidney season.โ Your kidneys are connected to your deep energy reserves, your ability to handle big transitions, and the emotion of fear. Thatโs why winter can feel heavier, slower, and more tiring.
So hereโs your permission slip: hibernate on purpose.
Not forever. Just enough to protect your immune system and keep your holidays peaceful.
My simple holiday immunity guide:
1. ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐ ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฌ (because it does)
2. ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐๐ง (your immune system listens to your nervous system)
3. ๐๐ง๐ฃ๐จ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ฌ, ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐๐จ๐งโ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐๐ค ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐จ๐ฉ ๐จ๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ
4. ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ โ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐โ: a quality multivitamin + omega-3s
5. ๐๐๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ: medicinal mushrooms are one option many people use in fall and winter
6. If you are traveling: ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐๐, wash hands, and protect your sleep
If you want, I put my โholiday immune supportโ favorites into one easy resource.
