Episode 162: Autumn Is the Best Time to Strengthen Your Immune System

Did you know that if you want to stay well in winter, the real work begins in autumn? In Traditional Chinese Medicine, autumn is the season of the lungs and large intestines—and one of the most important times of year to strengthen your immune system naturally before cold and flu season arrives. In this episode, I’m joined by Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner and Qigong teacher Tania Grasseschi to explore why autumn is the ideal time to build immune resilience through eating nourishing foods and drinks. Together we discuss: Why autumn is considered “lung season” in Chinese medicine The connection between digestion and immune strength How dryness impacts immunity Immune-supportive autumn foods Why reducing cold and raw foods may protect your system Warming teas and herbs for immune support The role of breathwork in strengthening your immune response Why staying warm—especially around the neck and lower back—matters more than you think If you tend to get sick every winter, this episode will help you understand how to prepare your body in advance—using seasonal food, breath, and simple daily rituals. Autumn is not just a transition season. It’s your opportunity to build strength from within.
