I take a specific supplement with reishi mushrooms called ImmuCore by Metagenics. I swear by them. If I feel the tickle of a cold coming I take 2 and I do. not. get. sick. They are a magic pill. I have been exposed to covid, the flu, the common cold, and these little mfkers have saved me.

🍄I'm nothing if not a skeptic BUT I used to get sick like once a month. I've gotten a cold only once in 3 YEARS while taking these. whenever I stop for a while I notice a difference. Got these from a rec from the chef Samin Nosrat. The bottle says to take a crazy amount every day but they're not cheap so I do one a day unless I'm traveling or feel under the weather.

🍵I’ve been taking these pills for years whenever I’m sick & I swear by them. I also recommend liposomal vit c + d and heavily reducing caffeine and sugar intake til you’re better

🤒had a famously awful immune system when i worked around kids for years. took a while of trial and error before i learned what works best. other than general hygienic habits paired with optimal sleep and hydration, elderberry-ginger-turmeric are my best friends. i never found echinacea or vitamin c supplements to be very much help. here’s some small ways to incorporate them into your day to day:
-a cup of elderberry tea everyday as a preventative measure (rishi makes an elderberry-ginger one but it’s very strong, just a heads up. most if these things will be, sorry.) -ginger shots. i make my own to save money as it’s fairly easy. orange juice, tumeric, pepper and sometimes manuka honey. -ginger-tumeric chai for the warm months, a cold ginger green tea or elderberry hibiscus in the cooler months -instead of tea, elderberry syrup. something that can be made with dried elderberry, but to be honest it’s easier to buy.
outside of preventative measures, when i feel something coming on, i will down like 5-6 cups a day of one of/or a combination of these herbal teas (i usually do like 4-5 cups elderberry tea and maybe 1-2 cups of a ginger based tea). it’s very excessive yes and it’s not the most fun but it has cleared me up 9 out of 10 times. but even if it doesn’t, it still lessens the severity and time of symptoms.

🦫a podcast. if you know me you know that i love animals. they are my other life’s passion. if i wasn’t trying to be a pop star i’d be a marine biologist, or i’d go volunteer at a sloth sanctuary in costa rica or something like that. probably will someday anyway. This podcast is the best. The host Macken Murphy picks a species of animal and spends a whole episode talking about them and why they’re cool. The beaver episode is my favorite. Beavers are my favorite animal. I could write an essay about why they are the best animal but it’s probably easier for you to just listen to the show.

🍟my kryptonite. I will go through a bag in about 30 seconds. i feel like it’s an exercise for your brain because of the intensity of the flavor: sweet, tangy, salty, umami. One time I ate 2 bags in one sitting and my tongue was sore for about 48 hours because of the acidity.
