Immune Surveillance 101

Your immune system is not just your cold and flu defense. It is also your front line cancer prevention system, running immune surveillance every day to spot abnormal cells and clear them before they can take hold. This month we are diving deeper into immune support and in today's episode we are starting with what happens when that surveillance weakens.We walk through how cancer can start from normal cells that accumulate DNA damage, fail to repair, and avoid apoptosis. Then we zoom out to the real question so many people are asking: why does immune function get impaired in the first place?Here's some of what we're covering today:• why immune surveillance is a key defense against recurrence risk• how sugar intake can directly suppress immune function for hours• ultra processed foods, inflammation, and microbiome disruption• alcohol patterns that lower immune response including binge drinking• chronic stress, cortisol, and reduced immune surveillance• sleep deprivation and disrupted circadian rhythm as immune suppressors• the emotional trauma link to longer term immune suppression• how chronic infection and chronic irritation can create a cancer friendly environment• plus simple self assessment & monitoring optionsIf this helped you think differently about immune support and cancer prevention, subscribe, share the show with someone you love, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations. 🙏🌿 Let's Connect 🌿Explore CoachingJoin Us On Substack Watch Episodes on YouTube Follow Us on Instagram
