While usually milder, colds can weaken the immune system, making you more vulnerable to catching the flu.Dr. Robins explains the critical differences between colds and flu, why conventional approaches often fall short, and how to strengthen your immune system using proven, natural strategies. This episode is dedicated to prevention first, while also covering effective treatments once symptoms begin.👉 Subscribe for more expert insights from Dr. Howard Robin @DoctorHowardRobins
