As a holistic wellness doctor, this is what I believe and practice.
I am trained in naturopathic techniques, Chinese medicine, and herbal healing. I work with the nervous system, the gut, the immune system, and the body’s innate intelligence every single day. And I deeply believe this:
🌿 God designed the human body with an incredible ability to heal, adapt, and protect itself—when we support it properly.
The flu shot may be one tool for some people.
But it is not the foundation of immunity.
True immune resilience is built daily through light, nourishment, rest, regulation, and connection to the earth—the very things humans have relied on for thousands of years.
Science now confirms what ancient healing systems have always known:
Your lifestyle determines how your immune system functions.
Here are 5 natural, evidence-backed ways to strengthen your immune system long-term, whether you choose vaccination or not:
🌞 1. Sunlight is immune medicine
Sunlight supports vitamin D production, circadian rhythm, and immune modulation. Low vitamin D levels are consistently associated with increased susceptibility to respiratory illness.
God gave us the sun for a reason.
🥗 2. Food is information, not just calories
In Chinese medicine, the Spleen and Gut are central to immunity. Modern science agrees—over 70% of immune cells live in the gut. Whole, unprocessed foods reduce inflammation and feed immune intelligence.
🌍 3. Grounding calms inflammation
Direct contact with the earth has been shown to reduce inflammatory markers, improve sleep, and regulate the nervous system—creating the internal environment where healing can occur.
🌿 4. Herbs support, not override, the body
Herbs don’t force the body—they remind it. Many herbs support immune balance, stress response, and resilience rather than overstimulation.
This is working with the body, not against it.
😴 5. Rest and nervous system regulation are non-negotiable
Chronic stress suppresses immune function. Sleep, breathwork, prayer, movement, and stillness allow the immune system to do what it was designed to do.
Here’s the truth I see in practice:
A supported body responds better to everything—stress, viruses, healing, and life.
This is not about fear.
This is not about extremes.
This is about stewardship of the body God entrusted to you.
You are not broken.
You are not weak.
You are designed to heal.
