Build resilience before sickness hits.
Cold and flu season can feel completely different when you have a child going through cancer treatment. A virus that might mean a few uncomfortable days for one family can bring the possibility of a hospital stay, treatment delays, and another layer of worry for yours.
So what can you do to support your household before sickness arrives?
In this episode, I'm walking you through the cold and flu protocol we use in our family, beginning with the foundational support we use proactively throughout the season and what we reach for at the very first sign that someone is getting sick.
We'll talk about supporting the body with minerals, whole-food vitamin C, adrenal support, magnesium, vitamin D, probiotics, molecular hydrogen, nebulizing, and red light therapy. I'll also share the specific remedies we consider when those first symptoms appear and how our approach changes once someone is fully sick.
Most importantly, I want to be clear about the difference between general immune support for your family and recommendations for a child actively undergoing cancer treatment. Their chemotherapy schedule, medications, blood work, and individual biology matter, which is why their protocol should always be developed alongside a qualified practitioner and medical team.
Cold and flu season doesn't have to begin with waiting for someone to get sick. The goal is to build resilience consistently, support the body intentionally, and have a plan in place before you need it.
