THE COSMIC HOLIDAY SURVIVAL GUIDE (Science Edition)

By Cynthia Fernandes

December is festive — but biologically, it’s a stress test.

More sugar, less sleep, higher inflammation, lower immunity, and faster nutrient depletion.

Here’s what your body scientifically needs to stay resilient:

1. Whole-Food Vitamin C

Your body can’t make or store Vitamin C, and immune demand spikes in December.

Whole-food sources absorb better because they include natural cofactors (bioflavonoids).

Benefits:

• Immune cell activity

• Collagen production

• Antioxidant defense

• Faster tissue recovery

Use: Double C daily.

2. Collagen Support

Stress + sugar accelerate collagen breakdown (glycation).

Collagen is essential for skin, joints, gut lining, and structural repair.

Whole-food collagen + antioxidants:

• Supports skin firmness

• Reduces inflammation

• Enhances recovery

Use: Coco Collagen in the morning for natural maca-based energy.

3. Gentle, Whole-Food Iron

40% of people are low in iron — meaning low oxygen delivery → fatigue, brain fog, low immunity.

Whole-food iron absorbs better and is easier on the gut.

Benefits:

• Oxygen flow

• Energy metabolism

• Cognitive clarity

• Immune support

Use: Iron Tea with breakfast.

4. Antioxidant Load

Holiday factors = oxidative stress: late nights, alcohol, refined sugar, poor sleep.

Antioxidants reduce cellular damage and inflammation.

Sources:

• Acerola + blueberry (Double C)

• Cocoa polyphenols (Coco Collagen)

5. Minerals + Nervous System Regulation

Stress depletes magnesium + potassium → lower mood, poor sleep, slower recovery.

Support:

• Mineral-rich hydration

• Deep breathing (improves vagal tone)

• Sunlight exposure

THE BASELINE ROUTINE (5 minutes)

Double C → immunity + antioxidant shield

Iron Tea → oxygenation + steady energy

Coco Collagen → collagen repair + superfood support

Whole-food inputs your body recognizes and utilizes efficiently.

Support your December physiology — the whole-food way.
