The Heart & Soil team gives readers tips on protecting their immune system as the nights get longer. They write:

You’ve spent all summer feeling invincible.

Then November hits and suddenly you’re dragging through a week-long cold that derails everything.

Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen this winter.

Here’s what to focus on to keep your immune system in fighting shape:

1. Get morning sunlight
   Within 30 minutes of waking, get outside for 10 – 15 minutes. Morning light regulates your circadian rhythm, which directly impacts sleep quality, hormone balance, and immune resilience. Even on cloudy days, natural light counts.
2. Prioritize deep sleep
   Your body repairs immune cells and releases growth hormone during deep sleep. Skip it, and your defenses are running on fumes. Aim for 7–9 hours quality sleep each night.
3. Support your gut
   About 70% of your immune system lives in your gut. Bone broth, fermented foods, and nutrient-dense animal foods nourish your gut lining and microbiome. A strong gut = a strong immune system.
4. Eat for immune strength
   Focus on zinc, vitamin D, vitamin C, and bioavailable protein from red meat and organs. These nutrients power immune cell production and keep inflammation in check. A nutrient-dense animal-based diet gives your body the raw materials it needs to fight back.
5. Listen to your body
   Feeling run down? Rest. Pushing through when you’re depleted elevates cortisol and suppresses immune function. Rest & recovery is essential.

And if you want to stack your defenses even further, we’ve got two products that will DEFINITELY help:

Histamine & Immune: Specifically formulated with grass-fed thymus, lung, spleen, liver, and kidney to deliver key nutrients for a strong and healthy immune system.

To your radical health,
