In this episode of The Integrative Edge, we break down the immune system, exploring the key differences between innate and adaptive immunity and why some people get sick more often than others. Discover the gut-immune connection, as nearly 80% of immune cells originate in the gut, making microbiome health essential for resilience. We also dive into key nutrients and natural remedies like Vitamin D, C, Zinc, quercetin, and medicinal mushrooms, plus functional medicine strategies for shortening illness duration with a personalized “Sick Day Protocol.” Finally, learn how sleep, stress management, movement, and toxin reduction can strengthen immunity naturally. Tune in to take control of your immune health with a root-cause approach!
