Dr. Sandy Ziya shared some of her immunity tips at the Sidewalk Chef Cafe, focusing on Functional Medicine prevention tips. We all enjoyed a healthy tasty meal from Chef Shashank, while learning new ways to boost our immune system and stay healthy without the use of pharmaceuticals. Dr. Ziya recommends using the S words, sleep, supplements, (good quality) sweat, sea and sun to boost our health levels. Stay tuned for the second event at Sidewalk Chef Kitchen in August!

Please know that you are supported and cared for either virtually or in person as we go through these trying times during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are some tips and strategies that I would use to contain this virus and protect yourself and keep those around you protected.
In my practice, I prescribe botanicals, nutraceuticals and supplements. However, due to the nature of the SARS cov-2 virus, for now, hold off on supplementing with vitamins A and D beyond 1000 IU’s and with the propolis bee spray and royal jelly. These have a modulatory effect by their nature in human biochemistry – meaning they can up-regulate or down-regulate a function based on what is needed. The effect of the virus on these vitamins is they can actually turn inflammation on to a level the body cannot manage effectively. You may continue to eat foods that have these vitamins in them.
