Immune Health

At Juniper Family Health, our naturopathic doctors take a proactive approach to immune wellness—supporting your body’s natural defenses for both prevention and recovery from common infections such as colds and flus.

In addition to evidence-based preventive measures like regular handwashing and staying current with vaccinations, we take the time to assess your individual risk factors and identify lifestyle or nutritional habits that may be compromising your immune system.

Our goal is to help you build lasting immune resilience through a personalized plan that includes nutrition, lifestyle support, supplementation, and when appropriate, IV nutrient therapy.

What Can Weaken Immune Function?

Several everyday factors can reduce immune efficiency and increase susceptibility to infections:

• Chronic stress

• Inadequate sleep

• Poor nutrition or restrictive diets

• Excessive alcohol intake

• Nicotine use

• Gut microbiome imbalance (an imbalance of beneficial and harmful bacteria)

• Nutrient deficiencies, such as vitamin D, zinc, or iron

By identifying and addressing these root causes, we can help restore your body’s natural balance and resilience.
