Back-to-school season isn't cursed — it's just the season we eat worse, sleep less, and stress our kids' nervous systems more than usual. In this episode, Kira breaks down the 5 things she actually does (and recommends to clients) to keep her family from catching every bug that walks through the classroom door: blood sugar stability, sleep and circadian rhythm, gut health, mineral support, and a simple supplement protocol for zinc, vitamin C, magnesium, elderberry, and propolis. Real, doable, not overwhelming. Pick one and start there.
