Flu Season? Or “Sugar and not enough Sunshine season?”!
We call it flu season, but wouldn't “too much sugar and not enough sunshine season” be more accurate?
When we understand what supports a resilient immune system, we can make different choices and reduce our illness risk and sick days dramatically. This also helps us reduce severity and speed recovery from the yucks. Please don’t reach for the glass of orange juice when you’re feeling sick! Stick with soup & tea, prioritize fresh air and good sleep and even though the days are getting shorter, make getting outside in the daylight a non-negotiable self-care strategy, every day.
Why This Natural Doctor in California is Changing Marin's Approach to Family Health
As a naturopathic doctor in Marin County, I've seen countless families walk through my door exhausted from the medical merry-go-round—the mom holding back tears as she describes her daughter's sixth round of antibiotics for ear infections, the mysterious rashes no one can explain, the digestive issues that started after multiple prescriptions. These aren't isolated symptoms; they're connected pieces of your family's health puzzle that conventional medicine often misses. While Northern California offers excellent healthcare resources, the "pill for an ill" approach frequently fails to address the root cause, which is why my practice combines traditional wisdom with modern science—using acupuncture, herbal remedies, nutrition (because everything's better with butter!), and hands-on healing to treat the whole body as an interconnected system, empowering you with the knowledge to transform your family's health naturally.
