Boosting Your Immune Health During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Around this time of year, many of us are prepared and even expect a cold and flu season. However, as we all know, this season is like no other that we have experienced in decades. With COVID-19 running rampant in our communities, extra precautions and safety measures are being taken. However, did you know that these precautions do not end with the basics, like face masks and social distancing? There are many ways to prepare your immune system to be at its best for fighting off viruses.

Injection Therapy for Health and Wellness

The road to holistic health looks different for everyone. When we speak about “holistic” health and wellness, we are considering not only the disease or issue that ails you, we are looking at the whole picture of mental and social factors as well as physical. Many times, the recommendations made by your holistic healthcare provider will involve making different lifestyle choices like diet and exercise changes, in addition to medicines, procedures, and supplements prescribed. For many circumstances, however, your doctor might additionally suggest injection therapy to help heal both your body and your mind.

Improving Immune Function with Acupuncture

Acupuncture has played an important role in traditional ancient Chinese medicine for centuries. Medical practitioners and healers in Eastern countries have long used acupuncture to address the discomfort of patients exhibiting many different symptoms, including headaches, dental pain, menstrual cramps, and respiratory disorders, to name just a few. Recent decades have seen interested researchers in Western countries conducting clinical trials which conclude the effectiveness of these historical therapies at modulating the immune system.

Adrenal Hormones and How They Affect Us

When you hear the words “adrenal glands” you might automatically think of “adrenaline”. While that association is correct, your adrenal glands do a lot more than just produce adrenaline.

When the adrenal glands aren’t working properly, producing too much or not enough of a specific hormone, it can cause a lot of problems.

Adrenal Fatigue - Symptoms and Underlying Issues

Adrenal fatigue is a term used to describe the group of symptoms that are said to occur by people who are under long-term physical, mental or emotional stress. Supports of adrenal fatigue believe the problem begins when the many different stresses of life become too much for the body to handle. Our adrenal glands (the small organs located above the kidneys) usually produce hormones like cortisol to deal with stress. But when people are faced with long-term stress that becomes too much to handle, their adrenal glands can no longer keep up with the body’s needs. When this starts to happen, symptoms of adrenal fatigue may start to appear.

Prevent SAD this season with Holistic Medicine

As we trudge deeper into the depths winter, many people experience some degree of mood change. We feel less motivated, sentimental, anxious or depressed. For some, these changes are slight and manageable; they may simply feel a bit more fatigued, have a harder time waking up in the morning, or occasionally feel bummed out. With the cold and grey weather, a lot of people opt to stay home, which can lead to feelings of isolation. Although Denver winters can be beautiful, sunny and full of outdoor activities like skiing, snowboarding, and winter hiking, we become more sedentary. Winter has a clear effect on us -- and our bodies respond to that change.
