Boost Immunity Naturally: 5 Powerful & Effective Steps to Boosting Your Immunity Without Pills or Supplements
It goes without saying that within the last couple of years, we’ve become much more focused on strengthening our immune system. You may have noticed that stores have been in short supply of immunity boosting products – but don’t worry! You don’t need those… The most effective, high impact action you can take is boost your immunity naturally. That means building and strengthening your immune system from within. And we’re going to make this super easy for you… Follow these 6 simple steps to strengthen your immune system without relying solely on pills or powders.
How to Boost Your Immunity Naturally
Being in good health is the best way to boost your immunity naturally. Not just living, but thriving. The Nutrifitx System is based on 4 essential health pillars that directly contribute to the strength of your immune system. But, let’s make this even simpler. Let’s break this down into 6 actionable goals:
- Focus on quality nutrition
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Improve your gut health (or gut microbiome balance)
- Get and stay moving – exercise and live actively
- Make reducing stress a daily priority
Step 1: Focus on Quality Nutrition to Boost Your Immunity
Quality nutrition means you’re giving your body all of its micro- and macronutrients.
Giving your body the protein, carbs, and fat it needs results in optimal energy levels and mental clarity.
When your body has the vitamins and minerals it craves, it functions properly – your hormones are balanced, immunity is strong, and you feel good!
An optimally functioning body means an optimally functioning immune system.
If you’re constantly creating major calorie deficits or limiting/eliminating any of the major macros (usually carbohydrates), you’re not nourishing your body. Huge calorie deficits (AKA, diets) decrease the metabolism and slowly degrade your metabolic health. If you’re cutting carbs, you’re likely putting a ton of stress on your body. Your brain alone needs around 120 grams of carbs just to function… If you move at all, your muscles are also going to need carbs for energy and recovery. The more you move, the more they need.
This puts a ton of stress on your body physically. Add your mental or emotional stress on top, and your body becomes severely depleted and out of balance – then your health declines and immunity tanks.
If you want to boost your immunity naturally, you must truly nourish your body.

Step 2: Maintain a Healthy Weight to Boost Your Immunity Naturally
Studies show that being overweight weakens the immune system, impairs its ability to fight infections and viruses, and some research even suggests that this cycle actually worsens weight struggles.
Being overweight is considered a form of malnutrition. Often, body fat impairs your digestion which affects how you absorb and assimilate nutrients. Just the same, being underweight is commonly known to impair the immune system and the function of your body overall. Being underweight slows the metabolism, negatively impacts your metabolic health, and can deteriorate your gut health. Any type of malnutrition is a form of stress on the body, and stress has a negative impact on every bodily system and function.
If you prioritize the 4 Nutrifitx Health Pillars, maintaining your ideal weight (or a healthy weight) becomes an effortless byproduct. It’s about rebalancing the body. Being under- or overweight is an imbalance that can be corrected without dieting or extreme programs. In fact, it’s far better for your body not to diet in the traditional way!

Step 3: Improve Your Gut Health to Boost Your Immunity Naturally
Gut health refers to having a healthy balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut microbiome. Your gut microbiome is directly connected to the Vegas nerve. The Vegas nerve brings messages from the gut to the brain and vice versa. An imbalanced gut sends false or negative signals to the brain throwing off all sorts of bodily systems, even your mental health (anxiety, depression, etc.).
Improving your gut health requires a few nutrition and lifestyle changes. A few changes you may consider are:
- Eating a diet high in organic fruits and vegetables (with the exception of grapes, oranges, and a few other fruits)
- Eliminating gluten
- Eliminating dairy
- Replacing “bad” sugars with natural sugars like fruit, raw honey, and maple syrup
- Eliminating alcohol (except for the occasional glass of dark red wine – not the sweet kinds)
- Taking a quality multivitamin
- Taking a quality probiotic (we like spore-based probiotics)
- Reducing stress
- Getting enough quality sleep

Step 4: Get and Stay Active to Boost Your Immunity Naturally
A balanced exercise routine or regularly living actively has been shown to to boost the immune system naturally, even when it comes to viruses or diseases that affect respiratory system. Active living prevents excess body weight, reduces inflammation, and reduces chronic disease. All of these have a major impact on the immune system.
However, it’s always about a healthy and balanced approach to active living. Excessive high intensity training or extended endurance training without proper nutrition and rest has a negative impact on the immune system. But, a healthy level of low to moderate intensity exercise significantly boosts the immune system!
Our favorite ways to get active in a balanced and healthy way are walking, yoga/pilates, calisthenics training, biking, hiking, dancing, swimming, and exercise of the like. We like exercising in natural motions of the body, but if you enjoy weight lifting, running, or something a little more intense, go for it! Just make sure you’re nourishing your body and getting plenty of rest and recovery between sessions.
Step 5: Reduce Stress to Boost Immunity Naturally
We all know that stress is so hard on the body. But did you know that stress is one of the leading causes of death? That’s because a stressed body deteriorates gut health, increases inflammation, and further worsens most disease and disorder within the body.
As you now know, your immune system is directly impacted by your gut health. But… did you know that inflammation also worsens disease and disorder, as well is a leading cause of cancer? That’s why we advocate an anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle. You can alleviate lots of dysfunction by reducing inflammation, including boost your immune system naturally!
It’s important to note that, to the body, stress is stress. You have the typical emotional and mental stress that affects us all… But then you also have the physical stress like inflammation, a weak immune system, disease, disorder, and dysfunction. Also, any form of malnutrition is a physical stress. Your body doesn’t see the difference, though. So all of these forms of stress add up and deteriorate the immune system (as well as most bodily systems).
The Nutrifitx System helps reduce physical stress. Taking control over your physical stress helps reduce your mental and emotional stress.
We have outlined everything you need to know about stress and your body, as well as ways that you can be proactive about reducing all kinds of stress – especially physical stress. Reducing physical stress means you’re better equipped to manage your mental and emotional stress. (Click here to learn more about the stress reduction features of The Nutrifitx System.)
To take control of your mental and emotional stress consider the following:
- Manage your spending. Create and stay on top of your budget.
- Don’t participate in drama or gossip wherever possible.
- Spend more time with your pet.

- Try a meditation practice. (Even just 5-10 minutes have shown to have GREAT benefits!)
