Daily Immune Boosting Routine for Moms: Habits That Work

As much as I love summer, there’s something about the back-to-school season that always makes me think about routines, resilience, and keeping our immune systems strong. Hello, shorter days and more germs (SOS!). With two boys under five, I know that sniffles and runny noses are practically inevitable this time of year. But instead of waiting until I feel run down, I like to take a proactive approach. That’s why today I’m sharing my exact immune-supporting routine. These are the simple habits and supplements I weave into my day to feel resilient. Most of these steps take less than a minute, but over time, they really add up.

Prefer to listen to my immune-supporting routine? I walk through it in detail on my podcast, Daily Deposits.

We’re Live on Substack

Before we dive into all things immune health, I have exciting news: I recently started a Substack called Daily Deposits. Cue the confetti! The name comes from my belief that the little things we do every day—whether it’s eating a balanced breakfast, taking a short walk after lunch, or honoring a moment of gratitude—are like deposits into our long-term health and happiness. On Substack, I get to share those micro-habits, unfiltered thoughts on wellness and motherhood, and what I’m learning in real time. It’s quickly become my favorite space to connect and build community with other women who care about showing up consistently for themselves (without chasing perfection). If that sounds like your vibe, I’d love for you to join me.

Daily Immune-Supporting Routine

As a nutrition consultant and mom, here’s a peek into my daily immune-supporting routine. Nothing complicated, just small, consistent habits and a few key supplements that help me stay strong, healthy, and ready to take on whatever my two little boys throw my way.

Tongue Scraping

First thing in the morning, I scrape my tongue. It sounds small, but it helps remove bacteria and toxins that accumulate overnight. It also feels like a gentle first line of defense—keeping my mouth clean is one way I can take care of my body right from the start. This is the tongue scraper I use.

Beekeeper’s Naturals

Next, I do four sprays of Beekeeper’s Naturals throat spray. Propolis, which bees make to protect their hives, is packed with antioxidants and flavonoids that support immune function. Then, I take their Superfood Honey and Bee Pollen. Honey has antibacterial properties and enzymes, while bee pollen is loaded with B vitamins, amino acids, and minerals like zinc and magnesium—all of which support immune resilience and energy.

Fun fact: Beekeeper’s Naturals honey goes through third-party purity checks and comes from pristine, chemical-free apiaries. It’s as clean as it gets!

Liposomal Vitamin C

I take Live On Organics Liposomal Vitamin C. Unlike regular vitamin C, this form is wrapped in fat-like liposomes that help it absorb directly into cells. It supports white blood cell function, collagen for healthy skin, and acts as a powerhouse antioxidant.

Colostrum Powder

I add Cowboy Colostrum Powder to my morning routine. Colostrum is rich in immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and growth factors that help strengthen the gut lining. Because roughly 70% of your immune system lives in your gut, this is a simple but powerful way to support immunity.

Zinc

For zinc, I use Heart & Soil’s Her Package. Zinc is critical for immune cell function, hormone balance, and can even shorten the duration of colds when taken consistently.

Electrolytes

Hydration is key for every system in the body, immunity included. I sip electrolytes throughout the day—think magnesium, potassium, and sodium—to keep fluid balance, nutrient delivery, and energy levels steady. Pro tip: even if you drink plenty of water, without electrolytes, your cells can still feel “thirsty.”

Magnesium

Before bed, I take New Chapter Magnesium with Ashwagandha. Magnesium helps regulate stress and support deep sleep, while ashwagandha helps balance cortisol. Sleep is one of the most powerful immune boosters we have, so this step is non-negotiable.

My Extra Immune Boosters

Along with quality sleep (8 hours whenever I can!) and daily movement, I layer in these additional practices when I need an extra boost:

Vitamin D3 with K2 → Especially important during fall/winter when sun exposure dips.
Glutathione → The body’s “master antioxidant” for when I feel something coming on.
Sauna sessions → Like a reset button for immunity and stress.
Cold showers or plunges → Builds resilience and supports white blood cell production.
Fermented foods + probiotics → Sauerkraut and Greek yogurt are my staples.
Fresh turmeric + ginger → Anti-inflammatory powerhouses.
Garlic → Nature’s antibiotic.
