Why You Keep Getting Sick Every 3 Months (And Why It’s Not Your Immune System’s Fault)

Let’s rip the Band-Aid off right now—if you’re getting sick every couple of months, it’s not just “bad luck.” It’s not “just the season.” And no, it’s not because your toddler is a walking petri dish. You’re trapped in a cycle. A slow, immune-system-suffocating, vitality-vaporizing cycle—and the medical system keeps pumping you full of antibiotics, antihistamines, and empty reassurance like that’s going to fix anything.

It won’t.

Because what’s failing isn’t your immune system.

It’s your whole damn operating system.

At The Point. The Place for Acupuncture. in Gastonia, NC, we use Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) to dig past the fluff and get to the real reasons people are stuck in loops of recurring sickness, bloating, fatigue, and mysterious misery. And spoiler alert—it’s not just about colds and flus. It’s about the terrain those bugs are invading.

Here’s the Dirty Truth About Why You’re Always Sick

We’ve all been conditioned to think getting sick is normal. “Oh, everyone’s got it.” “There’s something going around.” “It’s just a little bug.”

You know what else is going around? Sluggish livers. Toxic overload. Gut flora obliterated by years of processed food, cheap sugar, and stress so thick it might as well be another organ in your body.

Let’s get something straight: a healthy body is a hostile environment for illness. Viruses and bacteria are opportunists. They show up when your defenses are down—not because they’re magical invaders from another dimension. Your body lets them in when something deeper is off.

And guess what most people never check?

• Nutritional deficiencies

• Organ stress

• Hidden food intolerances

• Chronic inflammation

• Toxic burden from environmental crap you don’t even realize you’re breathing/eating/rubbing on your skin

That’s where NRT steps in like a diagnostic bloodhound.

What the Hell Is NRT, Anyway?

Nutrition Response Testing is not some woo-woo “maybe it helps” guesswork. It’s a clinical system that uses applied kinesiology (aka muscle testing) to detect stress and dysfunction in the body—then figures out what’s triggering that stress and what nutritional support your body actually wants.

We’re not here to hand you a multivitamin and wish you luck. We’re pinpointing the exact organs that are failing under pressure. We’re identifying foods that are wrecking your gut without you even knowing. We’re reading your nervous system like a user manual the doctor threw away years ago.

It’s your body’s own electrical circuitry telling us where the breakdown is happening.

It’s Not Your Immune System. It’s Your Liver.

That sinus infection you keep getting? That sore throat every couple of months?

Start looking at the liver. Because when your liver’s overloaded, your lymphatic system slows down. Your detox pathways clog up. Your immune cells are like bouncers trying to clear a nightclub with no exit doors.

Add in some daily inflammation from sugar, gluten, or your favorite “healthy” granola bar (newsflash: it’s a crime scene of seed oils and garbage), and suddenly your body is just… stuck.

And here’s the kicker: your symptoms don’t start in your sinuses. They start in your cells. NRT finds that source. Acupuncture gets the energy flowing. Supplements from real, whole-food sources (not lab-made Flintstone vitamins) rebuild the foundation.

Now we’re not just treating colds. We’re rebuilding a fortress.

But I Eat “Healthy”… Why Am I Still Sick?

Let’s be savage for a second. Your spinach smoothie isn’t saving you from a thyroid running on fumes. Your organic chicken isn’t fixing an inflamed gut lining that leaks toxins into your bloodstream. Your gym habit won’t fix adrenal glands that are curled up in the fetal position begging for mercy.

You can’t kale your way out of organ failure. NRT doesn’t guess what your body needs—it tests. Real-time. Biofeedback style. Your body literally tells us what it’s starving for. And once we know that?

We hit the gas pedal on healing.

The 90-Day Immune Crash Loop—And How We Break It

Most people come to me after a pattern has already set in. They’ve gotten sick again.

They’ve missed work again. They’ve been to urgent care again. And they’ve been handed the same damn prescription that never addresses why they’re in this mess.

Here’s the pattern:

1. You get sick → body freaks out

2. You take meds → suppress symptoms

3. Gut flora gets wiped → immune system takes a hit

4. Liver works overtime clearing junk → energy crashes

5. You recover… kind of

6. 60–90 days later: Repeat.

It’s predictable. It’s preventable. And it’s infuriating to watch over and over when there’s a better way.

At The Point, we break that cycle using:

• Nutrition Response Testing to find the organ stressors

• Targeted whole-food supplements to nourish your system (we use Standard Process—the real deal, no garbage fillers)

• Acupuncture to reset your nervous system, open detox pathways, and recharge the battery

• Personalized nutrition plans that match your body—not your Instagram feed

Real Talk: If You’re Sick All the Time, You’re Not “Just Sensitive.” You’re Under-Supported.

You’re not fragile. You’re not cursed. You’re not doomed to a life of recurring strep, sinus infections, migraines, or exhaustion.

You’re just running a system that’s starving for clarity, nutrition, and functional support—and nobody ever taught you how to listen.

Until now.

So, What Happens If You Don’t Fix It?

Let’s be blunt. If you don’t fix this, it doesn’t just go away. It evolves.

That cold every 90 days? In 3 years, it becomes chronic fatigue. In 5 years, maybe it’s autoimmune. In 10 years, you’re on six meds and still wondering why you feel like hell.

Or…

You could stop the cycle now. You could listen to the whispers of your body before they become screams. You could get answers from a system that actually tests what matters.
