How can you keep your immune system strong and healthy this winter? In this episode of The Common Sense MD, Dr. Tom Rogers sits down with Brooke Mohr Watson, PA-C to break down practical, effective ways to prepare your body for the colder months ahead. Drawing on years of clinical experience, Dr. Rogers and Brooke discuss the real keys to staying well—including sleep, nutrition, vitamin D, elderberry, and even the underrated power of nasal rinses. They separate myth from fact (spoiler: cold weather itself won’t make you sick!), talk about the best supplements and holistic remedies, and share smart strategies for families—especially if you have little ones bringing home every bug from daycare.
You’ll learn when it’s really time to see a doctor, how to build your own preventative health kit, the truth about antibiotics and antivirals, and which home health tools both experts use in their daily lives. Whether you’re looking to dodge the flu, avoid lingering colds, or keep your kids healthy this season, this episode is packed with common sense advice you can actually use.
Tune in to get ahead of sick season and take charge of your winter wellness!
