      The weather is, unfortunately, starting to get colder and with it, doubly unfortunately, the cold and flu season is coming.

      Do you have any reliable foods or supplements that you take throughout the winter months to help fight off getting sick?

      I most certainly do, pal!

      Okay, so in my experience, taking a slightly higher dose of vitamin D with some K2, regularly in the mornings has had a large impact on my energy, immune system and mood. I usually go with:

      4000 – 5000 IU of vit D + 150mg-ish of vit k2.

      Its important to note that these should be taken together, all at once, in the morning, and with regularity.

      The reason for taking them together is that they have a symbiotic effect in the body, which offers health benefits without the downsides of taking high levels of vit D by itself (the calcification of arteries for example).

      Furthermore, the reason for all at once is that, as your body produces vit D in response to direct sunlight exposure (which it wont really be getting in these coming months), vit D is closely tied to circadian rhythm levels. By taking vit D in the evening, it can throw your sleep out of whack, which we all know is VITAL.

      Finally, the reason to take them with regularity – meaning, take them everyday at the same time – is also to do with your circadium rhythm, except in this sense, you can actually regulate your sleep patterns optimally by helping your body know when the sun ‘should’ be up, despite these dreary days to come.

      As a bonus, there are also emerging studies showing the connections between D3, K2, and improved general health even in the face of this pandemic the world faces, check this out if interested:

      Hope this helps, brother.
