Thriving Through Cold & Flu Season at Active Edge

Cold and flu season has arrived, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend the next few months battling sore throats, stuffy noses, or endless fatigue. By taking steps now to strengthen and balance your immune system, you can give your body the tools it needs to fight off seasonal bugs before they take hold.

At Active Edge we focus on supporting the body’s natural defenses from the inside out – not just managing symptoms when they appear, but creating a foundation of resilience so you can move through the season feeling strong, energized, and healthy.

Simple yet powerful strategies like nourishing your body with whole, seasonal foods, optimizing gut health, staying hydrated, managing stress, and ensuring restorative sleep can go a long way in keeping your immune system sharp. Pair those lifestyle practices with targeted functional medicine supplements — such as probiotics for gut-immune balance, vitamin D for immune modulation, and herbal blends that help the body respond quickly to exposure — and you’ll be setting yourself up to skate through these colder months with better immune protection.

By staying proactive with your care, you’ll not only strengthen your defenses against cold and flu season, but also stay ahead of the curve when it comes to your overall health and well-being.

Stage 3: Nourish & Refresh

At this point, you are feeling better than you ever thought you could as you are feeling energized and thriving. You have learned a lot about your body, you are moving more efficiently, you understand your body’s cues, and you have a good idea of what to do with these cues. This means you get to try new things, achieve new goals, and conquer new challenges!  As you do, we will be here as your resource, as needed, to help you nourish, boost, and refresh your health.

Stage 2: Activate Healing

Pain is generally the last symptom to show up and the first to go away. This means that by the time you realize there is a problem, there has been a problem for a long time. Especially for chronic or recurring issues, understanding how you got to where you are is so important for getting to where you want to go. In this stage of your journey, you will resolve underlying dysfunction, remove cheats, and retrain habits. As we aid you in activating your body’s natural healing potential, we will help you regain movement, energy, and body function both inside and outside. Throughout this process, you will start to feel greater ease and inspiration as you restore communication and efficiency in your body. Together, we will constantly assess, observe, and reassess your body’s responses to boost your results.

Stage 1: Discover Root Cause

You are your own person, with your own collection of life events which brought you to where you are today. You deserve to be heard, seen, and treated as the individual you are. Your journey begins with your Discovery Evaluation. This first visit includes your exam which works to uncover the root of your issue(s), new patient diagnostics, and, of course, your first treatment. This is how we will help you begin connecting the dots and feeling better. After your first treatment, we will ask you to observe your body’s responses– good, bad, or indifferent. There is no wrong answer as this is just starting point information and direction for moving forward. In your second visit, we will review this feedback and your diagnostics to further identify potential underlying causes and compensations. We will combine everything we have learned about you, consider your goals, and together create a plan to resolve your concerns from the roots up
