The immune system isn't a single switch to flip—it operates across distinct phases, each with its own needs and opportunities for support. In Episode #611 of Vitality Radio, host Jared St. Clair sits down with returning guest Jamie Cotter, national educator for WishGarden Herbs, to break down immunity in a way that actually makes sense.
Jamie explains the four distinct phases of immunity—daily maintenance, early onset, active illness, and recovery—and why each phase calls for a different herbal strategy. The conversation covers how tonic herbs build baseline immune resilience, why timing and dosing matter the moment symptoms first appear, and how targeted herbal formulas can support the body through active immune challenges and the often-overlooked recovery phase.
