    Can sleep really be the secret weapon against winter viruses? Learn how to harness the power of a good night's sleep to supercharge your immune system and fend off those pesky winter bugs. In this episode, I, Anthony Hartcher, uncover the critical relationship between sleep optimization and immune health, especially when it’s cold outside and viruses are more rampant. Discover why your immune system works hardest while you’re sleeping and how maintaining a consistent sleep schedule can help keep your body's natural defenses at their peak.

    Creating the perfect evening environment is more than just fluff—it’s a game-changer for your health. We’ll walk through practical steps to wind down effectively, lower cortisol levels, and embrace a routine that helps you process the day’s events and sleep more soundly. From the benefits of reflective time and minimal warm lighting to the impact of a light evening meal, learn how small changes can make a big difference in your sleep quality and overall well-being.

    Ever heard of deuterium? It might be the hidden culprit making you more prone to infections. Listen in as we discuss how reducing deuterium intake through a diet rich in fats and proteins, especially in winter, can fortify your immune system. We’ll also explore the benefits of saunas, bowel regularity, and breathing exercises in flushing out deuterium, alongside embracing outdoor temperatures and a nutrient-dense diet. Prepare to align your habits with human evolutionary biology to stay healthy and strong all winter long.
