Ginger has been used for thousands of years across food and medicine — but what does the evidence actually say?

In this episode of WELL with Felicia, we explore the history of ginger, how it’s traditionally been used, and where modern research supports its benefits. Felicia breaks down why ginger is best known for helping with nausea, including pregnancy-related and chemotherapy-associated nausea, and how compounds like gingerol and shogaol work in the body.

We also discuss ginger’s role in inflammation and pain, including menstrual cramps and osteoarthritis, practical ways to use ginger in everyday meals, and when supplements may be helpful. Felicia shares how she personally uses ginger around her cycle, common side effects of overuse, and important cautions for those on medications or using supplements.

This episode is an educational look at one of the world’s most widely used spices from ancient trade routes to modern kitchens.

On this episode of Well with Felicia, we’re diving into how to prevent colds and flu naturally, how to strengthen your immune system all year long, and what actually works (and doesn’t work) when it comes to immunity. If you live in Vancouver or anywhere with long rainy winters, you’ll want to save this one.

We cover why people get sick more during colder months, how indoor heating affects your mucosal barriers, why back-to-school season always triggers a wave of rhinovirus, and how Vancouver’s cruise ship season brings its own unique surge of gastrointestinal and respiratory viruses.

You’ll learn practical, evidence-based tools to reduce your risk of getting sick, including:

• How to strengthen your immune barriers
• The tools and supplements that actually work
• Simple ways to shorten a cold naturally
• How to stay safe in higher-risk environments

We also talk about what not to do when you feel a cold coming on, how long viruses remain contagious, and the difference between rhinovirus, influenza A, influenza B, and norovirus—including how each typically spreads.

Whether you’re constantly getting sick, traveling soon, or you just want a stronger immune system this winter, this episode gives you a realistic, holistic, and scientific roadmap to staying well.
