TRANSCRIPT

Would you give your immunity an A or an F? And by A, I mean vitamin A. 

Vitamin A is one our most important immunity vitamins, and it’s something that Mother Nature gives us all of the tools in Fall so that we can build our Vitamin A stores and be ready for peak cold and flu season.

It’s January here in Wisconsin, a very warm one. Uh, and peak flu season is right around the corner in February. And I wanna make sure that if you’ve been affected by mold, which tanks your immunity, that you are set up for success in having a strong immune terrain so you don’t have to succumb to the crud.

So what does that mean? That means a vitamin A level that’s in the mid to high range. You have your doctor test this. And if you’re not, then you can go and find all of Mother Nature’s gifts that help us with immunity. That means all the orange colored vegetables. So you’ve got pumpkin, squash, carrots. Um, pink colored fish. So salmon and especially the skin of salmon. And then that little like gray fleshy part that you could scrape off the skin if you’re not, if you’re not into like fried salmon skin, which is really yummy by the way.

So get your vitamin A up in the natural way. And if you’re not getting those stores up, you can supplement. Now the key with vitamin A is it is fat soluble, which means you can accumulate it and if you get too much, you can harm your liver. Mold is already really tough on the liver. So be safe with it. If you’re supplementing, work with your doctor. Look at your labs, know your numbers, but get your, give your immunity an A. So you can conquer mold, take back your health.
