The Truth About ‘Cold & Flu Season’: Break the Dominos (Sunlight, Sleep, Sugar, & Stress)
Episode Overview
In this episode of The Own It Show, Justin Roethlingshoefer dismantles the myth that winter causes “cold and flu season.” He shows how a stack of lifestyle dominos—back-to-school schedules, less sunlight, more indoor time, circadian disruption (hello, daylight savings), lower movement, and sugar spikes—prime our immune systems for defeat. Then he lays out an actionable, step-by-step Own It Immune Protocol to stay resilient through the holidays so your household becomes the one everyone asks, “How are you never sick?”
Episode Highlights
- Domino #1: Back to School (Sept/Early Fall)
Less outdoor time & sunlight → lower vitamin D, more indoor exposure, schedule stress, earlier mornings → circadian disruption + reduced sleep quality. - Domino #2: Daylight Savings (Late Oct/Early Nov)
Earlier darkness → mood dips, lower activity, melatonin/cortisol rhythm thrown off → worse sleep, lower HRV, higher inflammation. - Domino #3: Sugar Season (Halloween → Holidays)
Candy/party foods → acute immune suppression for 4–6 hours post-load; repeat hits + late nights = rolling vulnerability. - Self-Fulfilling Slide
Less light & movement → lower VO₂ and energy → move even less → sleep & recovery worsen → immunity tanks. - Mindset Shift
It’s not an unstoppable winter force—it’s a predictable pattern you can interrupt.
The Own It Immune Protocol (Holiday Edition)
(Lifestyle first; supplements support but don’t replace habits. Not medical advice.)
Sunlight & Light Hygiene
- A.M. light (5–10 min) outdoors within an hour of waking to anchor circadian rhythm.
- Midday sun (10–20 min) to support vitamin D synthesis when possible.
- Evening: Dim house lights 2–3 hrs pre-bed; avoid overhead glare; use lamps.
Sleep & Rhythm
- Fixed sleep/wake window (±30 min) even on weekends.
- 3–2–1 wind-down: 3 hrs no heavy food/alcohol; 2 hrs no work; 1 hr no screens (or strict blue-light filters).
- Cool, da
