Stop Getting Sick: The Immune System Hygiene Protocol | Carly Kremer
Carly Kremer, founder of Beekeepers Naturals, reveals a revolutionary approach to health: immune system hygiene. She argues that the modern world’s toxic overload—from pesticides to processed foods—overwhelms our immune defenses, leading to chronic illness, autoimmunity, and frequent sickness. Drawing from her own journey with a debilitating autoimmune condition and seven years of being sick-free, she introduces a daily, science-backed protocol centered on propolis, liposomal vitamin C, gut health support, and nasal sprays. Her key insight? The immune system isn’t just reactive—it’s trainable. By creating consistent, proactive routines, we can reduce illness frequency by up to 90%, accelerate recovery, and even prevent long-term inflammation and disease. She also exposes the myth of Manuka honey, showing that common, affordable honeys outperform it in antioxidant and antibacterial power. Beyond personal health, she champions systemic change—fighting pesticide pollution, supporting regenerative beekeeping, and using collective voices to demand safer food and environmental policies. This isn’t just about supplements; it’s about reclaiming our health through intelligent, sustainable living. The episode shifts from individual wellness to planetary responsibility. Kremer reveals how fumigants near farms like Driscoll’s increase childhood cancer rates by 30%, and how pesticide companies are shielded from liability—until public pressure forces change.
Practice daily immune system hygiene: 4 sprays of propolis in mouth and nose each morning and night to block viral entry through respiratory pathways.
Propolis reduces inflammation and CRP/IL-6 levels—backed by 17 studies—and is 10x more potent than Manuka honey in immunomodulation.
Liposomal vitamin C (1,000mg) with propolis boosts immune cell activity and bioavailability, reducing viral load and recovery time.
Use baking soda and filtered water to clean produce—reduces pesticide residue by up to 96% and cuts toxic burden without expensive organic labels.
Manuka honey is overpriced marketing; buckwheat honey has higher antioxidants and is just as effective for internal immune support.

The Science of Staying Sick-Free
The episode opens with evidence that regular exercise reduces cold and flu risk by 27% and severe COVID risk by 57%, while sleep deprivation weakens immune function. The focus shifts to proactive immune system hygiene as the next frontier in health.
Immune System Hygiene: The Next Frontier
“I haven't actually been sick in about seven years, which is pretty wild. I also have a toddler and as you know, toddlers are germ factories.”
Propolis: The Immune System's Superhero
“Taking propolis, it's not just going to regulate and support your immune system. It's not just gonna prevent you from getting sick. It's going to take the inflammation down in a big way.”
Carly's Daily Immune System Routine
“Four sprays of my propolis morning and night. First thing I do in the morning when I wake up, four sprays of propolis.”
Raising a Sick-Free Child
“She brings it in her backpack with her. And yeah, it's pretty remarkable how rare, you know, it's pretty remarkable that she's two years old now and she really hasn't been sick.”
“If you're living in LA or one of these many counties across the country where these farms exist, you are inhaling these carcinogenic fumigants.”
“So I haven't actually been sick in about seven years, which is pretty wild.”
“Taking propolis, it's not just going to regulate and support your immune system. It's not just gonna prevent you from getting sick. It's going to take the inflammation down in a big way and prevent these long -term serious conditions from developing.”
