I was feeling run-down from work and travel so I went to a juice shop to get a natural boost. I did this shot with an orange-wedge-chaser (like a lime wedge after a tequila shot) and felt an instant pick-me-up. Definitely a #SuperSwap rather than taking over-the-counter remedies that only mask symptoms.

Mac says
This is just what I need today! Fighting the “cold bug” that’s been floating around our office. I was just getting ready to make some lemon tea and saw this. Definitely having a shot when I get home. Ciao`
Samantha says
How often can I take this? I work in a preschool and I’m fighting a bug every other week. Can I do this twice a day?
Dawn says
Yes you can do it twice a day, but I’d rather you do this once a day…and for immunity look to spend time doing other things like: 1) Keeping your skin moist (lip gloss/eye drops/hand moisturizer/drinking lots of water) + 2) gargling (w/ water or salt water) when you brush your teeth + 3) using a neti pot a few times each week + 4) eating GREENS at most meals + 5) taking a probiotic + 6) reducing sugar + 7) sleep + 8) exercise. Whooo! Immunity!

Just wanted to say I followed your journey with Jasmin on ABC. When I saw her come across that hill i was BAWLING my eyes out! SO happy for the both of you and loved how genuine you were during the process! Love that your diet isn’t really a diet at all – just an encouragement to eat what we as humans were intended to eat!
Dawn says
Thank you!!!!! The whole thing change my life forever! So inspiring! OMG! xoxo
Oriana says
Can this be done everyday even if you’re not sick?
Dawn says
Absolutely! xoxo
