Sometimes a shot in the arm is exactly
what you need! The reason this time of
year is the peak of cold and flu season is
because infections and viruses thrive in
immune deficient environments. But what
causes immune deficiency? And what can we
do to boost our immune systems?
One of the most common causes of
immune deficiency is adrenal stress. Your
adrenal glands’ purpose is to mobilize your
body’s responses to every kind of stress using
hormones that regulate not only immune
function, but also energy production and
storage, heart rate, and various other
processes including sexual hormone balance.
Medical research has proven that when we
are stressed, our immune system shuts down
until we can adjust to the situation. Very
intense and/or prolonged periods of stress —
emotional, environmental, physical or
nutritional stress — can result in deficiencies
that manifest as fatigue, low-energy, and/or
an inability to avoid the cold and flu bugs
that cycle through our work and personal
environments. Unfortunately, winter is often
when we see a combination of all the aforementioned
stresses at once, which
contributes to the cold and flu season.
The best and most effective way to
replenish a deficient immune system is
through adrenal shots. Composed of
essential B vitamins, folic acid and other
homeopathic adrenal support solutions,
adrenal shots boost and regulate adrenal
function, directly affecting immune
function.
The majority of us cannot absorb B12
through our gut as we age, causing a slow
weakening of our immune system and
potential permanent nervous system damage.
Adrenal shots allow for B12 and other
vitamins to slowly release into the bloodstream,
restoring vital energy and immune
and nervous system health. A short cycle of
adrenal shots given by one of Synergy’s
naturopathic practitioners can result in
increased energy, better health, better mood
and overall well-being.
Victoria BC’s Synergy Health Centre experts also recommend making
lifestyle and nutrition shifts along with
taking adrenal shots. Restorative sleep,
probiotics, adaptogenic herbs (balancing
herbs), vitamin C and regular exercise can all
contribute to maintaining your prime
immune health.

issues or find yourself falling victim to
