I am so thrilled to be sharing our powerful conversation that works to break down fear, provides practical information including how to support your immunity and empower your longterm health in the process! We start with understanding what viruses are and how they differ from bacteria. We really get into the most important ways to support your body-mind-spirit in immunity health that come from you and cost no money.
We also talk in depth about specific supplementation with vitamins and nutrients. More specifically, we talk about what can support us in keeping the symptoms of viruses mild to moderate in the event that we contract it, putting less of a burden on our hospitals, while increasing herd immunity to help weaken the virus. In all of healthcare, education is the foundation and Peter absolutely delivers on that today. Y’all I believe this information is going to be very important for the next period of time. I know I say this every time, but please share this with your communities. The positive impact of information like this can go a very long way in keeping our communities strong and empowered.

Hi Jaz! You’re absolutely welcome! I agree, it is a really powerful and informative episode. The only addition I would say to look into is glutathione. I will be doing another episode before the fall to talk about that as well. Look into what foods can increase it, like cruciferous vegetables. I will set you up with a Wellevate account for supplements, look for it in your inbox. As always, be in communication with your healthcare provider about changes and additions to your supplement protocol. Sending good health and love. xo
