MyoMinute with Chelcie: Why Back-to-School Sick Season Isn't About Germs

If your child has already been sick twice this month and school just started, mama — you're not imagining it. And it's not just bad luck. 🤧

Here's what most people don't realize:

🔹 Your child's nose is their first immune filter — it filters, warms, and humidifies every breath before it reaches the lungs. A child who breathes through their mouth skips that filter completely.

🔹 New routines and earlier wake times lower sleep quality — and sleep quality is directly tied to immune function.

🔹 If your child already mouth breathes at night, they get hit twice: poor filtration AND poor sleep recovery, at the same time.

🔹 Hand sanitizer and vitamins help with exposure, but they don't touch the breathing piece — which is part of why some kids catch everything going around while others don't.

This isn't about doing more. It's about understanding what's actually happening every time your child takes a breath.
