When you're feeling sick, should you "sweat it out", or completely rest? Will certain foods actually help you heal quicker and others won't? And what can you do the rest of the year to create an iron-clad immune system? 

As we're at the threshold of cold and flu season, these are the questions that you'll need answers for. So, whether you're currently battling a cold or not, you should have a good sick-day game plan! 

On this episode, my co-host Scott and I chat all about:

• Goal-switching when you get sick,
• Stress and the immune system, 
• Exercising with a mild cold vs. "the plague"
• The one-to-one rest day rule of thumb
• Honey, elderberries, chicken soup, pre-/pro-biotics

This episode is going to blow your mind. Well, it might blow up most of what you know about nutrition, anyway. It's going to bring intense clarity to where you're at, personally, and what nutrition things matter and what things don’t.

I believe that our biggest failure with nutrition is failing to see that there are different skill levels with healthy eating. Some eating habits are ideal for someone that's just beginning to make healthy eating choices, whereas certain habits are far more advanced. Unfortunately, many people unknowingly jump directly to the advanced eating skills and fail miserably. 

This episode could be the most comprehensive discussion on nutrition and eating behaviors that you've ever experienced. This is where healthy eating all begins, but also what it can become.
