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
