Support Your Immune System for Fall: An Ayurvedic & Holistic Approach
As the crisp air of autumn arrives and the days grow shorter, it’s important to prepare your body for the seasonal shift. Fall often brings an increase in colds, flu, and seasonal imbalances, but with the right practices, you can strengthen your immune system and transition into the season with resilience.
1. Strengthen Your Immune System with Food
The foundation of immune support is always a balanced, toxin-free diet. Aim for:
At least 6 cups of vegetables daily, focusing on seasonal produce.
Grass-fed, grass-finished meats and pasture-raised eggs for clean protein.
Minimizing processed foods, refined sugar, canned goods, and preservatives.
💊 2. Smart Supplementation for Fall
I recommend stocking up on supplements before the Fall Equinox—enough for 2–3 months. I’ve created a personalized Cold and Flu Plan in my Fullscript dispensary, available by email request.
Here are my key recommendations:
Glutathione – The body’s master antioxidant; supports detox, reduces oxidative stress, and enhances immune defense. Best taken 30 minutes before exercise or meals, up to 3x daily.
Zinc – Vital for fighting viruses and supporting hormonal + cardiovascular health. Take with breakfast; choose a supplement balanced with copper (unless your copper is already high).
Tulsi (Holy Basil) – Revered in Ayurveda as a lung and heart tonic. Clears excess kapha, supports circulation, and enhances respiratory health. Available as tea, tincture, or capsules.
Vitamin D3 – 5,000 IU daily to support immunity and bone health.
Vitamin C – 500 mg twice daily; choose natural vitamin C sources.
🧾 3. Use Your Benefits: HSA & FSA

4. Reduce Toxic Burden with a Fall Cleanse
Fall is the perfect time to release excess toxins (ama) and lighten the body. I recommend a 7, 14, or 30-day cleanseduring September. Support your body with:
Dry brushing and abhyanga (self-massage with oil).
Gentle yoga and pranayama.

5. Support Through Meditation
Seasonal transitions can sometimes feel overwhelming. To stay grounded, I’ve created a guided meditation on YouTube to help you reconnect with your inner balance and the energy grid—especially useful during times of disruption.
