To combat infections, most people, including healthcare professionals, focus primarily on the outer shield. That is, minimizing contact. As you may remember during the Covid epidemic, the outer shield includes physical distancing, washing hands with soap and water, alcohol sanitizers, disinfecting surfaces, and wearing masks. This is the first line of defense is important.
But there is a second, equally important and often overlooked line of defense: the inner shield, or your immune system.
The immune system is the microscopic army that stands guard just under the surface of your mouth, nose, lungs, skin, and gut. In addition, there’s an intricate network of stations throughout the body where more troops are keeping the peace, and awaiting orders to mobilize against an invasion.
A strong inner shield translates to resilience—the capacity to bounce back, to restore balance and wellbeing whether you’re faced with an acute infection or not. You can always strengthen this shield, no matter your current health status. By giving your immune system what it needs to function optimally, as well as regulating the stress response, you can treat any active infection more effectively, and also prevent or reduce the risks of getting one.
In this complimentary guide, you'll discover how to:
Support immune function with nourishing daily practices
Restore energy with gentle movement and coherence-building tools
Improve sleep and recovery with practical strategies
Calm stress and regulate the nervous system
Build sustainable resilience for long-term vitality
Grounded in functional medicine and informed by both modern science and traditional healing practices, these tools are designed to help you cultivate steadiness in times of stress.
The strategies in this booklet may seem simple. But simple doesn’t always mean easy. You'll need to pause, take notice of your environment, and perhaps most challenging, care for yourself. Also included are a list of supplements. Taken together, these strategies can help restore a sense of agency. By co-participating in your life, you can reduce one of the greatest insults to any infection: fear.
When you employ both shields, you’re helping everyone – yourself, your family, community, nation and – in this period of a pandemic – the world. You’re freeing up scarce health care resources for those in need, and maintaining good health to serve those around you. Everybody wins.
So take note. Take heart. And please share widely.
In times like these, we need a brave new medicine.
