Holiday Immune Support FAQ

with Dr. Shilpa Saxena, Sayaña Medical


Why do I tend to get sick more often during the holidays?

During the holidays we usually sleep less, eat more sugar, drink more alcohol, and experience higher levels of stress. All of these weaken immune defenses. When your body is already working harder, you’re more susceptible to the viruses that are circulating this time of year.


Is sugar really that harmful for immune health?

Yes, especially the large, frequent amounts that show up during celebrations. Sugar increases inflammation and temporarily suppresses your immune cells. This doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy treats, but pairing sweets with protein and fiber can help keep your immune system more balanced.


How important is sleep for immunity?

Sleep is one of the most powerful immune tools you have. Even a single night of poor sleep can reduce your immune system’s ability to fight infection. Consistent sleep (ideally seven hours) keeps your immune function resilient through the entire season.


What supplements do you recommend while traveling?

My go-to immune basics include vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, a functional mushroom blend, and an immune throat spray. These are simple, effective supports for prevention and early care, especially if you’re around large groups or traveling through airports.


I feel something coming on. What should I do first?

Start immune support right away. Increase vitamin D, take vitamin C twice daily, and use your throat spray several times a day. Early support can make the difference between a short viral exposure and a lingering illness.


How does stress affect my immune system?

Holiday stress, family dynamics, travel, and the pressure to “do it all” all weaken immune resilience. Your immune system responds strongly to emotional stress, not just physical exposure. Setting gentle boundaries, prioritizing rest, and practicing mindfulness are true immune support tools.


What is the biggest mistake people make this time of year?

Pushing through symptoms instead of slowing down. When you listen to your body early, we can prevent minor infections from turning into weeks of coughing, sinus congestion, or the need for antibiotics. Don’t wait until things get worse to reach out.


How is gut health linked to immunity?

Most of your immune system lives in your gut, so anything that inflames the gut can weaken immunity. Sugar, alcohol, poor sleep, and stress all disrupt the microbiome. Supporting gut health is one of the most important steps you can take to strengthen immune function.


When should I start immune support?

I generally recommend beginning preventive immune support around Halloween and continuing through Valentine’s Day. This covers the most active immune season and helps your body stay resilient through winter and travel.


Looking for personal guidance?

I support patients with immune health, gut healing, metabolism, hormones, and root-cause wellness inside my integrative practice.
