In this episode of Real Talk, we dive into one of the biggest challenges families face every fall—back-to-school immunity. When kids return to classrooms, sports, and after-school activities, they’re not just bringing home homework… they’re also bringing home germs. Colds, coughs, and stomach bugs spread quickly, and it’s not just children who feel the impact—parents and adults often get hit even harder and take longer to recover.
Daniel and Gerardo talk about why this happens, how kids’ developing immune systems differ from adults, and why family transmission keeps illnesses circulating for weeks. We break down the four core supplements that form a strong immune foundation—Vitamin D3 with K2, Zinc, Vitamin C, and a quality multivitamin—with practical dosage guidelines for kids and adults. Beyond supplements, we highlight lifestyle pillars like sleep, hydration, and nutrition that are just as essential for resilience.
We also tackle “the catch-up effect” in adults—why stress, nutrient deficiencies, and chronic inflammation make parents more vulnerable than their kids. And for those who don’t want to guess when it comes to health, we discuss functional lab testing. From checking Vitamin D levels to advanced nutrient panels, these tests reveal deficiencies that weaken immunity and allow for more precise, personalized support.
Whether you’re a parent trying to keep kids healthy, or an adult who doesn’t want to spend fall fighting off colds, this episode is full of practical, real-world strategies to help your whole family stay strong this school year.
