Thank You.

We can all feel the shift in the weather and as the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisp, so begins the season of cosy jumpers, hot drinks... and unfortunately, sniffles, coughs, and fatigue. But it doesn’t have to be that way. At MindBody Therapy, we believe in supporting your immune system naturally, so your body can stay resilient, balanced, and vibrant throughout the changing seasons. Whether you’re already feeling run down or simply want to prevent autumn colds and flu, here’s our go-to guide to boosting your immune health with a holistic approach that actually can work. Why Does Your Immune System Need Extra Support in Autumn? Autumn is a time of transition—not just in nature, but within your body too. Lower temperatures can slow circulation and immune responses Shorter days often lead to less vitamin D and lower mood Back-to-school bugs and seasonal viruses increase exposure Stress ramps up as the year winds down, impacting your immune resilience 1. Immune-Boosting Nutrition for Autumn What you eat now can make a big difference in how your body handles seasonal stress and viruses. Eat These Autumn Superfoods: Root vegetables: Sweet potatoes, carrots, and beets are grounding and rich in antioxidants Dark leafy greens: Kale, spinach, and chard support detox and are packed with vitamin C and iron Garlic and onions: Natural antivirals that strengthen the immune system Mushrooms: Especially shiitake, reishi, and maitake for immune modulation Supplements That Help: Vitamin C and Zinc: Essential for fighting off infections Vitamin D3: Especially important as sunlight decreases Elderberry & Echinacea: Herbal allies for preventing colds and flu 2. Reduce Stress to Protect Immunity Chronic stress weakens the immune system more than most people realise. Autumn is the ideal time to slow down, reset, and rebalance. Holistic Therapies to Reduce Stress: Reflexology: Supports lymphatic flow and calms the nervous system Massage Therapy: Releases tension, improves circulation, and reduces cortisol Acupuncture: Balances energy (Qi), supports immunity, and lowers stress responses 3. Prioritise Rest & Sleep Sleep is your body’s natural repair time. Without enough quality rest, your immune system doesn’t stand a chance. Tips for Autumn Sleep Hygiene: Keep a consistent bedtime routine Limit screens and artificial light in the evening Try herbal teas like chamomile, valerian, or lemon balm Need help switching off?
