On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared sits down with returning guest Jamie Cotter, national educator for WishGarden Herbs, to break down immunity in a way that actually makes sense. Instead of treating the immune system as a one-size-fits-all problem, Jamie explains the four distinct phases of immunity—daily immune maintenance, early onset, active illness, and recovery—and why each phase benefits from a different herbal strategy. You’ll learn how tonic herbs support baseline immune resilience, why timing and dosing matter when symptoms first appear, and how targeted herbal formulas can support the body during active immune challenges and lingering recovery phases. This episode empowers listeners to better understand their own immune responses and make informed choices about herbal support, seasonal wellness routines, and immune preparedness—without fear, hype, or guesswork.
