**Winter Wellness Boost from Premier DPC** ☀️❄️ It's mid-January 2026, and respiratory viruses are still surging: Flu hospitalizations are climbing (with H3N2 subclade K driving much of the intensity), RSV remains elevated especially in young kids, and acute respiratory illness visits are at high levels nationwide per the latest CDC data. Shorter days mean less natural sunlight — and that often leads to low **vitamin D** levels, which play a huge role in immune function, mood stability (hello, winter blues!), bone health, and fighting inflammation. **Functional medicine tips to optimize your vitamin D this season:** - Get safe midday sun exposure when possible (10-30 minutes on face/arms, depending on skin type — without burning!) - Eat vitamin D-rich foods: Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel), egg yolks, fortified options, and mushrooms exposed to sunlight - Consider testing your levels — many people are deficient in winter — and supplement thoughtfully if needed (we can guide dosing based on your labs and health goals) - Pair with K2-rich foods (like fermented veggies or grass-fed dairy) for better absorption and heart/bone support At Premier Direct Primary Care, we focus on root causes like nutrient optimization with personalized plans — no rushed visits or insurance barriers. Direct access means we can discuss your symptoms, order labs, or adjust your wellness strategy anytime, even with home visits. Don't let low energy or frequent sniffles slow you down — reach out today for real, proactive care. Stay strong this winter! 💪❤️ #VitaminD #WinterWellness #ImmuneSupport #FunctionalMedicine #DirectPrimaryCare #MountAiryMD www.premierdpc.org
