If summer heat leaves you feeling exhausted, foggy, or flaring, you’re not alone. Many people with autoimmune conditions struggle to regulate body temperature — and it’s not just about “not liking hot weather.” In this episode, I share five practical, science-backed strategies to help you stay cool, protect your energy, and reduce symptom flare-ups when temperatures rise.

We’ll cover everything from hydration and electrolytes to cooling foods, smart activity timing, and nervous system support. You’ll also learn why some people can’t sweat effectively (and what to do about it), plus the truth behind the “hot drink cools you down” myth.

I’ll be sharing some of my favourite summer swaps — like frozen berry & mint water, cold matcha lattes, and BodyBio’s new Remineralise (use code VJ15 for a 15% discount) — and the device I use daily to regulate my nervous system, the Nurosym (use code VJ5 to save 5%).

Whether you’re navigating a heatwave at home or travelling somewhere warm, these tips will help you stay cooler, calmer, and more in control.
