How to Support Your Child's Immune System Before School Starts

Back to school season means new routines, new classrooms… and a whole lot of new germs.

In this episode of the Prime Family Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie break down how parents can proactively support their child's immune system before school starts and throughout the school year.

From vitamin D and zinc to nutrition, probiotics, hydration, reducing sugar, and supporting the nervous system, they share practical ways parents can help prepare their kids for the inevitable exposure that comes with heading back to school.

Getting sick can be a normal part of childhood—the goal isn't to fear every sniffle. It's to give your child's body the support it needs to respond well when those viruses come around.
