Why Some People Get Sick- And What Actually Helps

This week in the office… it feels like the germs are winning.

I’ve seen viral infections, sinus infections, pneumonia, stomach bugs, and UTIs - all in just a few days.

Spring truly can’t come soon enough.

But here’s what stands out: when we look deeper, frequent illness is often tied to the same underlying factors:

• Poor diet

• Sedentary lifestyle

• Lack of sleep

• Chronic stress

• Obesity or insulin resistance

• Diabetes

• Allergies

• Environmental toxin exposure

The encouraging part? Many of these are within our control.

Real health foundations aren’t fancy supplements or expensive devices. Those can help - but they never replace:

✔ Whole, nutrient-dense foods

✔ Regular movement

✔ Sunlight exposure

✔ Clean water and air

✔ Reducing toxic personal & household products

✔ Consistent sleep

Healthy habits don’t happen overnight. On average, it takes about 90 days for real routines to stick.

That’s why I meet people where they are and focus on one step at a time -while also looking “under the hood” to see if anything deeper is impacting metabolism or immune health.

If you’ve been getting sick often or just feel your health isn’t where it should be, support can make the process much easier.
