Immune balanced brides must look beyond the mistletoe

OK, it’s holiday time, and everyone knows what that means. Overeating, overdrinking, overgifting (maybe undergifting this year), overfamilying and undersleeping.  That combo alone is enough to stress the immune system and put you on the couch for a few days with the winter crud.
