Would You Give Your Immunity an A or an F?

Feeling like your immune system’s struggling, especially with the cold and flu season looming? I get it! I know you want to stay strong, and as the author of Break the Mold, I have a game-changer for you: vitamin A. 

I’m all about giving your immunity an “A” to fight off the crud, especially if mold’s got you down. Let me share why vitamin A is your secret weapon, how mold messes with it, and how you can load up to take back your health. Ready to level up your immunity game?


Why Vitamin A Is Your Immune System’s BFF

Vitamin A is like the MVP of your immune team, and here’s why you need it:

  • Powers Your Defenses: Vitamin A keeps your immune system ready to tackle germs and mold toxins.
  • Nature’s Fall Gift: Those vibrant orange veggies in autumn are Mother Nature’s way of prepping you for flu season.
  • Builds Your Shield: Stocking up on vitamin A now helps you stay strong when colds and flu hit hard.

How Mold Messes with Your Vitamin A

Mold can knock your immunity off track. If you’ve been affected by mold, it can tank your immunity… Here’s how mold makes it tough for you:

  • Blocks Nutrient Absorption: Mold mycotoxins stop you from soaking up fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K.
  • Weakens Your Fight: Low vitamin A leaves you more vulnerable to colds, flu, and fungal infections.
  • Hurts Your Liver: Mold stresses your liver, which needs vitamin A to detox but struggles to store it.

Dig deeper into how mold blocks vitamin A absorption in my book, Break the Mold.


Nature’s Vitamin A Powerhouses for You

You don’t need to fight mold alone—Mother Nature’s got your back! I love all the orange colored vegetables for their vitamin A punch. Here’s what you can eat:

  • Roasted Pumpkin & Squash: Warm, cozy, and packed with vitamin A to boost your immunity.
  • Rainbow Carrots: Crunchy and colorful, they’re a fun way to load up on this nutrient.
  • Wild Salmon: Go for the crispy skin or that gray fleshy part for a vitamin A kick (it’s delicious fried!).

These foods help you rebuild your immune stores naturally. You can support your immune absorbable Vitamin A supplement to aid mold recovery. Check out A-Mulsion at my store.


How to Safely Boost Your Vitamin A

You’re ready to give your immunity an A+, but vitamin A is fat soluble, which means you can store it. But be careful it doesn’t go too high; might harm your liver. Here’s how you can boost it safely:

  1. Get Tested: Ask your doctor to check your vitamin A levels—aim for mid to high normal range for mold recovery.
  2. Eat Nature’s Best: Pile your plate with pumpkin, squash, carrots, and salmon for natural vitamin A.
  3. Supplement Smart: If your levels are low, work with your doctor to add supplements carefully.
  4. Protect Your Liver: Mold’s tough on your liver, so avoid overdoing vitamin A to prevent harm.
  5. Monitor Your Progress: Keep checking your labs to ensure you’re in the safe zone.
  6. Stay Balanced: Pair vitamin A foods with healthy fats (like avocado) to help absorption.
