With cold and flu season being right around the corner, that means it is time for acute bronchitis season to flare up as well. Today I want to talk about what acute bronchitis is and what you can be doing to support your respiratory system.† 

What is acute bronchitis?

Every single year, roughly 5% of the population deals with acute bronchitis. This can lead to over 10 million office visits at doctor’s appointments every single year. Like many viral diseases of the respiratory tract, acute bronchitis is commonly seen in the fall and winter months.†

GETTING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM READY FOR WINTER, PART 1 – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 427. Listen Now>> 

Acute bronchitis is an acute inflammation that occurs in the respiratory bronchi. This triggers the secondary inflammatory response in the body. The inflammation in the bronchial walls leads to a mucosal thickening, which is incredibly problematic. If someone has acute bronchitis, they will present with this very productive cough and will often have a difficult time breathing. They may also experience wheezing. The predominant complaint is this thick mucus that you continue to cough up.†  

Nutrients to support your respiratory tract and immune system

When you’re dealing with bronchitis, you just want it to go away. We know that viral infections are the main driver to this. We can look at natural ways to allow your immune system to get a better grasp on the respiratory system and provide the body with an added layer of protection.†

We can look at things such as N-acetylcysteine (NAC). This is great because it helps to bolster up your natural glutathione production. It also helps to thin out the mucus in the respiratory bronchi and lungs that is thickened by the inflammatory system. Oftentimes when people have or are prone to acute bronchitis and they have this hacking cough for several weeks, NAC can do so much in terms of minimizing those yucky symptoms.†    

Formulations such as the Immunity HxⓇ can also be beneficial to get much-needed Vitamin C, Vitamin D and zinc. We also have to look at things like black seed extract, which helps to ease inflammation throughout the respiratory system. It’s combined with rosemary extract and it really helps to offset some of the other allergen triggers, such as histamine. The addition of cordyceps mushrooms also helps to enhance our immune defenses. It’s a really great formulation combination for acute bronchitis.†

Did you know that 75% of women are likely to have at least one yeast infection throughout their lifetime? Keep in mind that yeast infections are not just limited to women. Today, I want to talk about a really wonderful formulation called Nutristatin 144 that is extremely targeted towards that pesky overgrowth of candida. Candida is naturally occurring in our bodies, but if we have too much of it, it can start to raise havoc in our bodies. I want to talk about what is contained in this formula and give a bit of a background on yeast infections and candida in general.†

How common are fungal infections?

Let’s talk about fungus. When it comes to fungal infections, Candida albicans is the organism that is responsible for the most fungal infections. Fungal infections can occur in almost any part of the body. Oftentimes, people can get fungal infections on their skin and you’ll see hypopigmentation. This can be exacerbated when the skin is exposed to sun.†

We also know that candida can overgrow in the mouth, which is known as oral thrush. When we look at candida overgrowth in the gut, that can be incredibly problematic because it starts to impact our inflammatory response and our immune system.†

How to prevent candida overgrowth

Generally speaking, when someone has a fungal infection such as a yeast infection or a fungal infection, they are given a strong anti-fungal medication by their doctor. Sometimes this is incredibly warranted, depending on the severity of the candida overgrowth. But we also have to look at what we can be doing on a regular basis.†

We know that there are dietary modifications that can help fend off candida overgrowth. Limiting sugar consumption is very important. No sugary beverages and no ultra-processed sugary foods. We want to make sure that we are taking in natural sugars coming from fruits and vegetables that provide fiber.† 

Whenever you’re on an antibiotic, it is always advantageous to follow up with probiotics. This helps to lay down good, healthy bacteria in the intestines. That good, healthy bacteria can really help to prevent that fungal overgrowth. We can look at things like resveratrol, which does a wonderful job when it comes to easing inflammation and targeting fungus.†

A SUPERIOR ANTIOXIDANT: RESVERATROL – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 45. Listen Now>>

I want to talk specifically about Nutristatin 144. This contains nutrients that we know have been studied extensively when it comes to targeting fungal overgrowth. It has garlic extract, grape seed extract, peppermint extract and caprylic extract. Caprylic extract is a very powerful way for the body to naturally target candida. Caprylic acid, which comes from coconut, does a wonderful job in poking holes through fungus. The more holes we poke in the fungus, the easier it is for our body to remove it.† 

In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH discusses candida, a very common fungus that can cause a variety of issues including oral thrush and yeast infections. She discusses different nutrients that can help fend off fungi, especially those included in the Nutristatin 144 formulation.†

Key Topics:

  • Who is more at risk for developing fungal infections
  • Healthy strains of bacteria
  • The many benefits of resveratrol
  • The important constituents in Nutristatin 144
