Fully vaccinated? Now what?!
Let’s be clear – there is no quick fix to immediately ‘boost’ your immunity – no ‘wonder supplement’ or ‘power food’ will suddenly strengthen your immune system.

Sometimes it seems that it is only when things are taken away, that we learn to appreciate their value and importance.
