When people start coughing and sniffling, we blame “cold and flu season.” But the truth? There is no “season” for viruses — there is a season where our nervous systems move into exhaustion mode.In this episode, Dr. Paula Ruffin and Dr. Erica Peabody break down how chiropractic care supports your body’s internal operating system — the neuro-immune network that determines how resilient you are under stress, through winter, and during times when everyone around you is getting sick.No hype. No immune-boosting myths.Just clear, science-informed conversation on how the body heals from the inside out.And yes… that IS sexy.🌡 What We Cover in This Episode1️⃣ Why “Cold & Flu Season” Isn’t About the VirusLess sunlight, lower vitamin DMore stress, deadlines, sugar, alcoholPoor sleepIndoor air exposureNervous system overloadWhy immunity weakens when your lifestyle shifts — not because the virus suddenly “gets stronger”2️⃣ Your Nervous System Controls Your Immune SystemWhat neuro-immunology actually isHow your brain, spinal cord, and immune cells communicateWhy sympathetic overload (fight-or-flight) directly impacts inflammation, antibody production, and recoveryHow parasympathetic activation (“rest, digest, repair”) creates the conditions where your immune system thrives3️⃣ What Research Shows About Chiropractic & Immune FunctionWe break down what studies actually say — the real data, not the hype:Short-term changes in beta-endorphinsChanges in cortisol, oxytocin, neurotensinShifts in T-cell and NK cell activity in early studiesHRV changes after cervical adjustments pointing to increased parasympathetic activityWhy chiropractic doesn’t “prevent” the flu — but may influence the internal environment that regulates immunity and stress response4️⃣ How Chiropractic Helps Regulate Your Internal Operating SystemBetter sleepImproved HRVCalmer stress responseEnhanced movement + lymphatic flowRestored spinal and nervous system communicationWhy these changes support immune resilience from the inside out5️⃣ How to Stay Well This Season (Without Fear)Nervous system careFoundational nutritionVitamin D + sunlightMovementBreath + stress regulationThe Reset lifestyle approachHow chiropractic fits into a sustainable immune-support routineSTAY CONNECTED with Dr. Ruffin!Free resources:https://drruffin.com/https://www.instagram.com/drpaularuffin/https://www.facebook.com/drpaularuffinCONNECT w Dr Peabody:https://www.cafeoflifefenton.com/meet-the-doctors/ https://www.instagram.com/drericapeabody/ https://www.facebook.com/erica.peabodyDisclaimer: The contents of this video are for informational purposes only and are not intended to be medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, nor to replace medical care.
