How to Avoid Cold Season

Hi Kosterina Family,

If you're like me the transition to Fall is one of the best times of the year. But, as much as I love pumpkin-everything and cozy sweaters - I don't love how much it impacts my immune system.

Here at Kosterina, we believe that natural, real foods are what keep us thriving until we're 100 years old. But, we're always looking for the most effective ways to stay happy + healthy. Here are some supplements and herbs that can help ease that transition into cozy sweaters and latte season.

1. Vitamin C still works: It might be the oldest trick in the book, but during the transitional weather this supplement helps makes you stronger on a cellular level. Added perk: Dr. Steve Gundry says that Vitamin C helps us produce more collagen, which keeps us looking young!

2. Gut health matters: Ensure you're taking a good probiotic proven to support your immune response to respiratory illnesses. I've started taking Seed Probiotics because I've been impressed by the serious science backing them up.

3. Herb it up: Foods that you have in your pantry (or not!) - like garlic, ginger, turmeric, oregano and yes, olive leaf extract, are all that you need to naturally up your immune system.

What are your favorite ways to stay healthy as the weather changes?

Calling all moms: EVOO does the trick

A couple of weeks ago, a good friend of mine told me an amazing story: her newborn baby was suffering from cradle cap, a form of eczema on the scalp, and she was at a loss for what to do. Her pediatrician recommended rubbing some olive oil on his scalp - and so, she grabbed her Kosterina bottle. Just like that, it was healed.

The Toxic Truth about Cooking Oils

Contrary to popular belief, not all cooking oils are “healthy” as many claim to be.
