IMMUNE 
BOOSTING 
101 


Hello friends! My goal is to offer simple & practical tips 
through education to help ease your mind & remind 
you of the many resources you already have!! 


As a nurse, someone who has studied holistic health, 
& spent nearly 1,000 clinical hours in 
multiple hospital setting over my nursing journey...these are my personal tips and tricks to 
share with y'all (MANY which I have learned from others)! 
I always recommend that you 
consult your own primary physician if you have questions concerning your health ESPECIALLY 
if you have an auto-immune condition currently! 
If you would like the specific 
sources/resources I have used please message me and I will get them to you! 


1 
REMAIN 
CALM 


Do 
not 
panic. This 
is 
a 
great 
place 
to 
use 
the 
saying, "Control 
the 
Controlables". PRACTICE 
SOCIAL 
DISTANCING 
AS 
MUCH 
AS 
POSSIBLE! 

Breath 
work 
comes 
in 
real 
handy 
here...thank 
you 
Wim 
Hof! 

Practical 
Suggestions: 


The way to eliminate the risk of getting any virus is eliminating 
your risk 
= 
STAY HOME, wash your hands for at least 20-30 
seconds, stop touching your face (eyes, mouth, and mucous 
membranes), when/if needed utilize a mask and gloves as a 
barrier if you must be in a area with many people. 


2 
GOODBYE 
FEAR 


Fear 
= decreased 
immune 
system! In 
a 
fancy 
way: 
anticipatory 
stress 
& fear 
signals 
to 
the 
amygdala 
to 
activate 
the 
sympathoadrenal 
and 
HPA 
axis, 
resulting 
in 
the 
release 
of 
catecholamines 
which 
turn 
on 
pro-inflammatory 
response 
genes 


Practical 
Suggestions: 


There is something to be said about positive distraction. 
Meditate, 
practice deep breathing (SO many free apps/resources out there), 
read a book, go for a walk, take a bath, diffuse essential oils, 
FaceTime your family/friend, try a new recipe, do something for 
yourself...work on that project you've been putting off for six 
months...and remember there is power in prayer, thank God for 
your health & pray a blanket of protection over yourself from what 
you can not control, God's got you and already knows the ending 
to this story, find peace in that! :)

SLEEP, 
HYDRATE, 
EAT 


3 


This 
advice 
is 
pretty 
basic 
-I 
hope 
you 
practice 
& 
make 
it 
a 
priority 
in 
your 
everyday 
routine! 

QUALITY 
sleep, proper 
hydration, and 
nutritious 


whole 
foods 
can 
truly 
be 
game 
changers! You 
can 


NOT 
out-supplement 
a 
bad 
diet...but 
yes, I 
DO 


recommend 
supplemtents...keep 
reading 
:) 

Practical 
Suggestions: 



7-9 hours of sleep per night allows for a strong immune 
response 
Limiting blue light especially after sunset helps optimize 
sleep/wake cycles AND circadian rhythms! :) 
The easy rule of thumb = 1/2 your body weight in ounces/day of 
water at minimum. 
Limit or cut out processed sugar as sugar is an immune 
suppressant. 
Simply, just eat whole foods but specifically the 
following are known to be immune boosting: Apples, asparagus, 
bell peppers, bone broth, brazil nuts, garlic, ginger, jicama, kefir, 
kimchi, leeks, lemon, liver, manuka honey, mistake & shiitake 
mushrooms, mustard greens, onions, oranges, oysters, 
pumpkin seeds, salmon, sauerkraut, strawberries, and turmeric. 
(just to name a few)

SUPPLEMENTS 


We 
are 
SO 
blessed 
to 
have 
proven 
research 
& 
studies 
at 
our 
disposal. These 
show 
us 
how 
to 
best 
utilize 
supplements 
& holistic 
remedies 
to 
our 
benefit! Fun 
Fact: High 
Dose 
IV 
Vitamin 
C 
Therapy 
has 
been 
officially 
recommended 
for 
the 
treatment 
and 
prevention 
of 
COVID-19. 

Practical 
Suggestions: 



Vitamin C: High Doses - 4-6,000mg 2-3x/day per Dr. Motley 
Vitamin D3: 4-6,000 IU 2x/day per Dr. Motley (use the dMinder 
app to measure natural sunshine/vit. d absorption) 
Optimal Zinc Intake: Can consume through diet & a MV. 
Zinc 
can impair viral replication (WOHOO!) 
Colloidal Silver: spray or drops, can also utilize this multiple 
times a day, amazing natural antiviral & antibacterial 
Elderberry Syrup: 
another natural antiviral 
Oil of Oregano: has shown to stop replication & kill 
coronaviruses in cell structure per Dr. Fitzgerald. 
Its 
compounds have systemic benefits especially in the respiratory 
and gastrointestinal tract!! FYI: this is a 'hot' oil so if in a droplet 
form I would dilute with a little water and shoot it back ;) 
other essential oils: if they are CPTG (certified pure 
therapeutic grade) most can be ingested and used topically! Oils 
with antiviral properties include: bergamot, black pepper, cassia, 
cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, frankincense, helichrysum, 
melaleuca, Melissa, myrrh, patchouli, peppermint, rosemary, 
thyme...if you use doTERRA I'd encourage you to utilize the 
Protective Blend (bonus= it smells great)!
