Send us a text

Ready for summer travel but dreading the inevitable health crash that often follows? You're not alone. The combination of disrupted sleep, new germs, dietary changes, and prolonged sitting creates the perfect storm for compromising your immunity just when you want to feel your best.

The Frontline Health Podcast tackles this common challenge head-on with five practical, science-backed strategies to help you maintain your health while traveling. Host Evan Patrick and Centurion founder Troy Duell reveal why so many of us fall ill during or immediately after travel—and more importantly, how to prevent it.

A standout insight from their discussion is the critical importance of preparing your immune system before departure, not after symptoms appear. The experts explain how exposure to unfamiliar germs in enclosed spaces like airplanes, combined with disrupted sleep and dietary changes, creates significant immune challenges. They share specific nutrient combinations that can bolster immune function during these vulnerable periods.

Sleep quality emerges as another crucial factor in travel health, with research showing those who sleep less than six hours are over four times more likely to catch a cold when exposed. The podcast offers practical solutions for maintaining rest quality while away from home, including the strategic use of melatonin—with important caveats about individual responses and age-related changes in natural production.

Beyond these core strategies, you'll learn actionable tips for staying hydrated in dry plane environments, maintaining circulation during long periods of sitting, and packing smart to support your health routines. The experts emphasize that small, proactive steps—from bringing healthy snacks to scheduling movement breaks—can make the difference between returning refreshed or depleted.

Take ownership of your travel health this summer. Follow these evidence-based recommendations to enjoy your vacation fully, rather than spending it recovering from preventable health setbacks. Your body deserves better than a vacation from wellness.
