Prepping Your Body for Cold & Flu Season
As the leaves turn and the air gets crisp, our bodies start to adjust to seasonal shifts. Fall brings cozy sweaters, warm drinks, and unfortunately… the beginning of cold and flu season. But here’s the good news: you can take steps now to naturally strengthen your immune system so you’re more resilient when viruses start circulating.
How to Naturally Strengthen Your Immune System
Your immune system is your first line of defense, and it thrives when supported with simple daily habits. Think of these as your “wellness anchors” this fall:
Prioritize Sleep: Deep, restorative rest is when your body does its best repair work. Aim for 7–9 hours.
Eat Colorful Foods: Bright fruits and vegetables provide antioxidants that fight inflammation and feed immune cells.
Stay Hydrated: Dehydration slows down every system in your body, including immunity. Sip water or herbal teas throughout the day.
Move Daily: Gentle exercise like walking, stretching, or yoga keeps your lymphatic system flowing and your immune system alert.
Reduce Stress: Chronic stress depletes immunity. Try breathwork, journaling, or a few minutes of meditation each day.
Why Vitamin D & Zinc Are Key for Fall Wellness
When the days grow shorter, many of us naturally get less sunshine, which means our vitamin D levels dip. Low vitamin D has been linked to increased susceptibility to colds and flu. Supplementing during the fall can help keep your levels balanced and your immune cells strong.
Zinc is another fall must-have. This mineral helps white blood cells fight off viruses and shortens the duration of colds when taken at the first sign of symptoms. Foods rich in zinc include pumpkin seeds, lentils, and chickpeas—perfect for fall recipes.
Together, vitamin D and zinc act like a protective shield, keeping your immune system resilient through the season.

Service Highlight: Engystol Injections now at Simply!
What is Engystol?
Engystol is a unique biologic remedy developed in Germany and widely used across Europe. It is a gentle blend of plant and mineral ingredients formulated using homeopathic principles. This multi-layered approach is designed to strengthen and regulate your body’s natural immune defenses—especially when fighting viral infections. At Simply Midland, we offer Engystol as an injection or gentle IV push to deliver rapid immune support when you need it most.
Benefits of Engystol
• Immune Support: Helps regulate and activate your body’s natural defense systems.
• Antiviral Defense: Traditionally used for colds, flu, and other viral infections.
• Cold Sores & Viral Outbreaks: May reduce frequency and intensity of flare-ups.
• Faster Recovery: Can shorten the duration and severity of viral illness.
• Prevention: Adds a layer of immune resilience during high-risk times.
• Gentle & Safe: Well-tolerated, with minimal side effects.
What the Research Shows
Studies suggest Engystol helps the body increase antiviral defenses by stimulating interferon activity and balancing immune pathways. Clinical trials in Europe have shown that patients receiving Engystol experienced fewer and shorter viral infections compared to those without treatment.
When to Consider Engystol
• You’ve been exposed to a cold or flu.
• You’re traveling or spending time in crowded environments.
• You want extra prevention during peak viral season.
• You’re already feeling run-down and need an immune boost.
• You experience recurrent viral infections (like cold sores or shingles).
How Often Should You Do It?
• If you’re sick: Daily injections for the first 2–3 days, then every other day until you feel better. • For cold sores: At the first tingling or sign of an outbreak, daily dosing for a few days may help shorten duration and reduce severity.
• For prevention: 1–3 times per week during cold/flu season or before travel.
• For immune weakness: Longer, weekly support plans may be recommended.
■ Engystol can be given intramuscularly, subcutaneously, or as a gentle IV push. Many of our clients love pairing it with other immune-supporting IV therapies for added benefit.
