Fallen out with Family over Covid-19? Here’s how to Keep Your Cool at Christmas!

One of the hardest aspects of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic is how heated conversations about treating the viruses can get. Maybe you simply mentioned that you have (or haven’t) gotten your vaccination, and suddenly, a sibling is no longer talking to you. Or you happily mentioned that you feel great now that you’re using a certain immunity booster – but your partner thinks it’s the wrong approach. They become just too angry to discuss it, or they’re now overly combative because of hours spent reading angry social media posts.

It’s a sad truth that Covid-19 conversations have become so polarizing these days that, tragically, around 56% of us have now fallen out¹ with loved ones because of it.

Here at Doctors Studio, we’d love you to enjoy an awesome, stress-free Christmas. So we’ve come up with some medically-inspired top tips to help you swap out stressful Covid-19 conversations for some love and laughter instead!

#1. We’re All in this Together

The US hit a crazy milestone today – 50 million reported Covid cases. With an American death toll that is now officially higher than that sustained during the US Civil War², we really are all in this together. With as many as 43, 000 American children having now lost a parent³ to Covid-19, and a new Omicron sister variant⁴ emerging in recent days, the stress is hitting us all very hard.

One way that Covid-19 stress manifests itself is in becoming rigid in our thinking about how we each choose to fight the virus. Right now, we simply need to recognize that we are all just trying to cope with fear and uncertainty in the best way that we can. And that while we might choose to cope in different ways, it is ultimately our historically high-stress levels⁵ – and not our difference in opinion – that is often fueling our anger and frustration

#2. Lower Stress Levels & Bond with Family!

While we might fall out over our opinions on antivirals and vaccines, the biological mechanisms that lie behind our stress, anger and frustration are always the same. Simply put, the lower our stress hormones (cortisol) and the higher our happy hormones (dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin), the less likely we are to argue!

The great news? We can all use the same biological mechanisms⁶ to lower stress.

How?

Exercise daily, take nutrient filled supplements regularly, and get a great nights sleep. That combination offers the fastest way possible to make you feel calmer. And it’ll also take away the edge to that frustration and anxiety that you might be experiencing right now. Need help in winding down? Try our great non-addictive sleep supplement REM Rhythm.

If you can get your relatives on board to work out with you, you’ll all experience the benefits of the powerful bonding hormone oxytocin⁷. In fact, science proves that people who exercise together tend to end up liking each other a whole lot more⁸!

#3. Give Yourself and Others the Gift of Immunity

At the end of the day, we all agree on one thing. That we want to keep each other safe.

A hugely-effective but non-controversial way of doing so is to gift ourselves – and others – high-quality vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and nutrient-filled health supplements. These supplements can powerfully improve our health & immunity on a biological, cellular, and neurological level. It’s just one great way to prove that we care.

Our proprietary Doctors Studio health supplement range includes an impressive range of immunity-boosting supplements. They are all designed to supercharge your natural protection against Covid-19 and any other cold or flu bug that comes your way. They will help you flood your body with nutrients, and enable you to sleep better than you ever have done in your life.
