We are into the start of cold and flu season and I know many people have concerns about their immune systems and what they can be doing. I want to focus on a particular formulation that can really do so much when it comes to bolstering up our immune defenses. Today, I want to talk about colostrum.†
The role of colostrum in the body
Many times, people have no idea what in the world colostrum is. When we think about why someone would be utilizing colostrum, we can cross multiple spectrums. It’s not just for the immune system. We can also think about muscle recovery after workouts. There are a lot of different ways in which colostrum promotes overall wellness.†

We always refer to colostrum as “the first milk.” When mothers breastfeed, they are giving powerful immune-boosting components to the baby, including colostrum.†
When we think about colostrum, this is a complex biological liquid that has really powerful antimicrobial peptides, immune-regulating compounds and different growth factors. It helps to modulate our immune response, create balance within the intestinal microbial environment and enhance and repair different tissues in the body.†
The components of this nutrient
Most of the initial studies looking at lactoferrin coming from colostrum have been geared more toward virology, we know that it goes beyond that. We know that it can target bacteria. We know that it can be beneficial when it comes to different parasites. Anytime that we are utilizing something that’s coming from nature that can boost up our immune defenses, we know that we are on the right tract.†
The colostrum itself contains all of these different things. It contains protein, hence the lactoferrin. It has good, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals and all of these different things that help to enhance the innate and adaptive immune systems.†

There are so many people that deal with chronic stress on a regular basis that can lead to what we have actually coined as being “tired and wired” all at the same time. The long term implications for this can be very challenging. Today I want to talk about being tired and wired. I want to discuss the root cause of that and what we can do to try to mitigate those causes.†
What does it mean to be tired and wired?
Being tired and wired means that someone has no energy, but they also do not have the capacity to fully unwind. This can be problematic because it can lower the immune system, cause loss of focus and create an inability to carry out daily tasks. This is a big issue for so many people.†
When people continually deal with this issue, we have to look at cortisol and what’s going on within the adrenal glands. We have to look at the HPA axis, which accounts for the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and adrenal glands. If one section of the HPA axis is not working right, that can start to impact other aspects.†
Cortisol, which is our primary stress hormone, and DHEA play an important role in our body’s ability to manage stress. We can look at these two different levels and draw some connections. Oftentimes, when people have high cortisol levels, this can start to push DHEA levels down. We need to have DHEA to maintain and support our immune system. We also recognize that when people have elevated cortisol levels, this can start to impact insulin levels. All of these different hormones start to have this negative effect on each other. We can look at how the adrenal glands can affect your thyroid, which can impact your metabolic rate.†
How to help support your adrenal glands
If you’re having a hard time managing stress levels, you may need to find ways to cope and decompress. You can incorporate things like meditation or yoga.†
When we look at things to support the adrenal glands as well as sleep, we can also look at nutrients such as melatonin, Vitamin D and calcium.†
We can also support our adrenal glands by adding in adrenal adaptogenic herbs. This includes things such as ashwagandha and rhodiola, for example. These nutrients can help to mitigate the negative impact of what cortisol is doing to our body. We have a formulation called Adrenoserine, which is an amazing blend of nutrients to support stressed out adrenal glands.†
Getting regular exercise can help boost energy levels, even when it feels like you’re too tired. It gets oxygen and blood flowing out to the tissues. We have to get onto a regular sleep pattern. Having good sleep hygiene is very important. This includes being in a dark room and not having your electronic devices running because they emit blue light. All of these different things matter.†
