Alternating hot and cold water is a simple yet powerful way to improve your health. It can stimulate white blood cell production our immune system fighters. I...t also increases metabolism, circulation, oxygen absorption, and carbon dioxide excretion. Its a great way to get blood flowing in these stagnant times of isolation. What to do: First start with a hot shower. Be sure to get nice and warm. Follow with turning the tap all the way cold. Stay in the cold for as long as is bearable, anywhere from 2 to 30 seconds. Then return it to hot for 3 minutes. Repeat this two to three more times, finishing your shower with cold. If its too tough to take, direct the cold phase water only on the feet. Over time you can increase to legs, abdomen, and chest. . To take it a step further you can alternate hot and cold water in buckets with the hot water at 40 degrees Celsius and the cold bucket between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius with added ice. . Repeat this daily if possible or a minimum of 3 times per week. Notice a feeling of exhilaration and increased energy after each treatment. Talk to your health care practitioner if you have any existing health concerns that might be impacted by this treatment.

Support Your Immune System with IV Therapy There are many ways to support your immune system. Having a whole food diet, moderate exercise, and a good laugh can ...all improve your bodys fighter cells. Sometimes we want to incorporate something a little stronger to give us the boost we need. Intravenous (IV) Therapy can help. Our immune systems need specific nutrients to perform at their best. Many of these nutrients are lacking due to little variety in diet, decreased digestion leading to poor absorption, high athletic demands, and higher demand because of chronic disease or poor lifestyle choices. Intravenous (IV) Therapy can replenish these vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into the blood stream to enable the immune system to work optimally. My Immune Boosting IV includes: Vitamin C Thiamine (B1) Dexpanthenol (B5) Pyridoxine (B6) B-Complex Methycobalamin (B12) Calcium Magnesium Selenium Zinc Multi-trace minerals Glutathione These nutrients work together for powerful antiviral and antioxidant activity. They help with cellular repair and growth to maintain good health. Additionally, glutathione protects immune cells from damage and helps them function optimally. The Immune Booster IV also replenishes fluids keeping the body hydrated, another important aspect in immune health. Book an appointment with me to super-charge your immune system.
