Bundling up is essential this winter, but staying warm isn’t the only way to protect yourself from colds. Did you know that 70% of your immune system lives in your gut?1https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33803407/ That means looking after your microbiome is key to helping tackle winter bugs.

We’ve got just the things to keep sniffles at bay—immune-boosting kefir, soothing herbal teas, and nourishing skincare to combat dryness. Let’s dive in!

Gut Health Protocol

A happy gut = a strong immune system. Our Gut Health Protocol is designed to restore balance, heal any dysbiosis, and get your microbiome back on track.

The three essentials:

  • Kefir – Our probiotic goat’s milk kefir is packed with 27+ beneficial bacteria strains to repopulate your gut.
  • Complete Prebiotic Powder – A combination of 18 naturally-occurring prebiotic fibres designed to feed your gut bugs. This product enhances the effect of your kefir, so we recommend taking the two together!
  • Pure Fish Collagen – Supports a healthy, supple gut lining.

Science shows that just 6 weeks of following the Gut Health Protocol can lead to noticeable improvements, with even more profound benefits over time. Need proof? Check out our customer results and see how they reclaimed their natural glow!

Feeding your gut this winter goes beyond supplements. Alongside the Gut Health Protocol, a fibre-rich diet ensures that your gut bugs are well-fed. A diverse range of plant-based fibres is best, so consider trying new beans, pulses, nuts and seeds you wouldn’t normally eat. Check out our nourishing lentil soup and delicious baked oats recipes for inspiration!

When winter bugs strike

Even with the best prevention, colds can happen. The gut doesn’t just influence digestion—it also affects lung and respiratory health via the gut-lung axis.

For centuries, herbs have been used to treat respiratory conditions, with their powerful effects still in use today. Herbal remedies such as liquorice root (which can be found in our Complete Prebiotic Powder!) is known to help soothe the respiratory tract and support mucous membranes. For an extra immunity boost, try our Complete Mushroom Blend, featuring 13 powerful mushrooms—perfect stirred into a hot drink or warming soup.

Little pick-me-ups!

Sometimes, you just need a lift. Our Get Me Through The Day Tea is infused with rosemary, vervain, mugwort, and peppermint, offering the perfect hug-in-a-mug to face even the frostiest mornings.

Step outside! Winter sunshine boosts mood and wellbeing, so embrace crisp mornings for a natural pick-me-up.

And don’t forget your skin: Chuckling Goat Kefir Lotions and Super Sensitive Skin Balm soothe and nourish dry, chapped winter skin. Need more guidance? Check out our Cold Weather Skin Guide here.
