ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Do you feel like after you exercise or get sick, you just don't bounce back the way you used to? Or maybe you've been told to "boost" your immune system, but no one's ever really explained what that actually means or whether it's even the right goal.
We cover:
-
Why "boosting" your immune system is the wrong goal, and what we want instead
-
What happens to the immune system as estrogen drops, and why autoimmunity hits women so much harder in midlife
-
The surprising link between the gut, bones, and immune system that most people completely miss
-
What "cellular capacity" really means, and simple at-home ways to check if yours is slipping, no fancy clinic required
-
Why your relationships might matter more for your health at 80 than anything on your dinner plate
