We are in the midst of a pandemic, which is uncharted territory for many of us. The media, while keeping us informed, also tends to invoke feelings of fear, panic, and a sense of having no control, however, there are things that you can do to strengthen your immune system and decrease your chances of being exposed to the virus.

The Centers for Disease Control and Government have put guidelines in place to help reduce the risk of exposure for all citizens and have encouraged anyone who can work from home to do so. Additionally, many non-essential businesses have temporarily shut down or drastically changed their operating procedures to help keep people safe, and keep the “curve” as low as possible.

The Dynamic Life Health Center is also doing our part to practice social distancing and take every measure possible to keep our patients and staff safe by providing telephone appointments in lieu of in-person appointments at the clinic. By doing this, we are able to provide all of our patients with uninterrupted, quality health care, while keeping everyone’s safety a priority.

As we all adapt to the new, temporary “normal” of staying at home and limiting exposure to the general public, NOW is an excellent time to focus on your health, resilience, and strengthening your immune system. Doing this will help reduce your chances of getting a viral infection, but it can also help to focus on resetting your health baseline going forward, even after the dangers of this pandemic pass.

Of course, we recommend always washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, use hand sanitizer when you are out in public, do your best not to touch your face, and covering your mouth/nose if you cough or sneeze. If you are immunocompromised, stay away from public places as much as possible. A lot of restaurants are now offering pick-up and delivery options, as are many grocery stores.

Additional Strategies to Strengthen Your Immune System and Improve Your Health

• Eat whole foods that are nutrient rich.
• Strive to eat multiple servings each day of colorful fruits and vegetables; generally, the more color, the more nutrients.
• Eat plenty of greens.
• Cut out sugar and refined starches. Not only do these types of foods contribute to chronic illness, but they also immediately weaken your immune system.
• Eat adequate amounts of protein.
• Incorporate garlic and ginger into your recipes. Both have wide spectrum antimicrobial properties.
• Eat more fermented foods, or take quality supplements containing probiotics which will improve your gut health, the backbone of your immune system.
• Get sufficient quality sleep. Sleep is one of the major players in your overall health, and lack of consistent, quality sleep puts you at higher risk for both acute and chronic illness.
• Get some exercise. Even 30 minutes per day, 5 days per week, can have drastic and immediate positive effects on your overall health. Getting out of the house and walking for a brisk pace is something most people can do, and especially right now, can serve as a safe means to get out of the house, get some fresh air, and keep your spirits higher.
• Get out in nature as much as you can while being mindful about social distancing.
• Hot baths with epsom salts can not only help you to relax, but can also help to detoxify your body. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oils and enjoy a peaceful retreat right in your own home.
• Meditation and/or prayer and yoga can help to keep you calm, centered, and less anxious. Headspace.com is an excellent online resource that can get you started with meditation and mindfulness. Because of the global pandemic, they are offering free courses, guided meditations, and resources to help you sleep.
• Add vitamins and supplements to help strengthen your immune system and keep you as optimally healthy as possible.
• Stay in contact with family and friends. With less family activities, there is more time to reach out to folks via the telephone, Skype, or Facetime. Now, more than ever, this is especially important for your mental health and everyone benefits from connection.

Interested in Becoming a New Patient?

We take the health of our patients and staff seriously. Because of COVID – 19 and recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control, we are implementing temporary strategies in order to continue to offer quality health care to our patients, while keeping you safe and healthy.

Effective immediately, Dr. Berutti will be offering all appointments by phone. This applies to both new and existing patients. She will still be able to offer you the same dedicated attention and care as she would if you were meeting with her in the office, but without putting you at unnecessary risk.

Dr. Lyn Berutti at Dynamic Life Health Center uses a functional medicine approach with her patients. Many people are living with or are at risk for chronic diseases, hormonal imbalances, thyroid problems, and autoimmune disorders. These individuals are falling through the gaps of conventional medicine practices and are not getting the help that they need in order to heal and feel their best. Patients look to medical professionals to help them to get better and fix what’s wrong with them. In many cases, their quality of life is affected or grossly disrupted as they get sicker and lose hope. When they see doctors who only focus on addressing symptoms, they can become frustrated with the lack of comprehensive care. Conventional medicine has its place. It focuses on treating symptoms and disease through medication and surgery. This works very well for things like acute infections, trauma, and serious life-threatening illness. Physicians use treatments such as surgeries, antibiotics, and other drugs to treat their patients. This can be beneficial and life-saving in many circumstances. However, in many cases this is not enough to restore the patient to health and vitality.
