For too long, you have been told winter = sick season because of the cold weather.
But if you really think about it logically, the snowballs just don’t stack up. I mean, a “cold” day in New York City and Laguna Beach (two places I used to live) don't compare. More importantly, no scientific study has ever concluded that cold weather = blizzards of endless illnesses.
Many other “experts” will tell you that sick season happens because people are indoors more, circulating their germs in closed spaces. While there is some truth to that—it’s still not the main reason SOME people get sick so frequently in the winter.
Every year, there are those friends who never get more than a sniffle, and yet they are on planes, attending basketball games with 20,000 other germy people, and daily walking into the real war zone: daycare.
What is their secret?! Why do some people get plowed by the “winter sickies, and others ice skate right on by?
The answer: Vitamin D, and a few other tricks.
Viruses and germs can be swirling all around you, but just like you put on a raincoat to stay dry in a storm, coating your body with a strong immune system will keep you healthy. No matter how heavy the illnesses are raining down.
Dr. Daryl’s Top 5 Reasons Why Vitamin D is a MUST This Winter (and all year long).
Before I get started, I want to clearly state that all Vitamin D is not created equally and to put it simply, Acid-Kicking D3+K2 shades all the others so much that it doesn’t even have competition.
First of all, you could be taking dozens of vitamin D capsules, but if your body does NOT absorb them, then it’s just a waste of money and time. This is why I created a liquid version that synergically uses Vitamin D3 and K2 for maximum bioavailability—the scientific way of saying the most effective way for your body to ABSORB all the benefits of Vitamin D.
Ok, now on to my top reasons why Acid-Kicking D3+K2, and a few other Dr. Daryl Hacks, will shield you from sickness all winter long.
Covers your body with natural antibiotics, so infections can’t even find a way in.
Wraps your soul up in happy hormones, so seasonal depression doesn’t stand a chance since stress is the #1 cause of acid (aka your body breaking down), a happy mind = a happy body.
Veils you with natural energy, so you won’t get dragged down by “winter fatigue,” which can be translated into feeling sick.
Blankets you with antiviral peptides, so viruses are forced to move to the next person.
Suppresses inflammation, so foreign pathogens are scared to even come close.
Squirting Acid-Kicking D3+K2 takes seconds every morning and saves you days of misery and missing out on life because you are sick. JUST TAKE IT. And do not forget about your little petri dishes of germs—your kids. Drop it into their bottles, sippy cups, smoothies…whatever it takes.
On top of our daily dousing of vitamin D, my family’s anti-sickness winter protocol includes:
Sovereign Silver. It’s a powerful natural antibiotic, antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal. Spray about 15 times in your mouth, swish for 20 seconds, and swallow.
Prioritize outdoor time. This is easy because we now live in Flordia, but even when I lived in New York City, I still forced myself to go outside and exercise even in the dead of winter. It can help raise oxygen levels in your brain, increasing serotonin (a neurotransmitter that alters your mood) and helping your body produce (good) bacteria to fight harmful pathogens. Humans were NOT designed to be indoors looking at screens all day under artificial lights. Our bodies desperately need the outdoors to function properly.
Magnesium for magnetizing sleep and calm. Acid-Kicking Magnesium can help you catch those ever-elusive Zs because it helps calm your nervous system, relax your muscles (no more restless leg syndrome), and maintain your body’s GABA levels—neurotransmitters responsible for "turning off" wakefulness. It also calms your mind and enhances your mood.
Be the hero your family needs. Say NO to the sick season by building a powerful shield around your family with Alkamind products, sweaty workouts, healthy winter meals, and restorative sleep (tap into my sleep hacks). You got this!
