Now that fall is officially here, you've probably already
noticed people sniffling or appearing a bit less cheery than they did
throughout the summer. And though the season is undeniably beautiful,
it does require a bit more of an effort to keep yourself healthy and happy. With the changing season, now is the perfect time to boost
your immune system. Here are a few tips to boost your immune system and your
spirits!
1. Buy foods in season and eat you Fall colors- Fall
foods are vibrant, colorful and nourishing. One rule of thumb is that the more
colorful the fruit, the better it is for your health and your immune system.Some
of best natural immune-boosters are: to
drink plenty of fresh water, eat plenty of raw foods, garlic, lysine, probiotics, Vitamins B, C and D.
2.
Exercise in the Season- this is the perfect time of year for those
longer hikes or bike rides that were a little too much in the hot summer
months.
3.
Pamper Yourself- Get a massage or a facial. Changes in humidity and temperatures
can drastically affect your skin’s balance and sleeping patterns.We advise
keeping your skin hydrated, especially on areas of the body that tend to get
drier, like elbows and feet. Get a facial for your skin type. Don’t wait until
winter when it may be too late to prepare your skin for harsher temperatures. A
massage can relieve pain and stiffness as the weather changes, build up your
immune system, and a 1 hour massage can equal 4 hours of sleep.

Instructions
- Please see video for deets 'n tricks!
- Heat up pumpkin puree with pumpkin pie spice in a small saucepan over medium/low heat. Stir constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, until fragrant and cooked.
- Stir in sweetener of choice, mixing until just combined. Pour in milk, and simmer until warm. Watch carefully that it doesn't boil over! Remove from heat.
- Add in vanilla extract and whisk until light and frothy, 30 seconds to a minute. The pumpkin spice mix can be refrigerated for 4-5 days at this point (so feel free to whip up a large batch for the week!).
- Pour espresso or coffee in a mug, and add the pumpkin spiced milk. For a bulletproof version, you can alternatively add in some MCT and/or grass-fed butter at the end and blend it all with an immersion blender. Top with whipped cream and a touch of pumpkin pie spice.
