The functional approach to immune health, inflammation and what it means for exercise professionals

This episode contains insights into a relatively new perspective on immune health that will really fascinate and engage you. JP and Dr Stewart discuss things we hear about in our profession on a daily basis – auto immune issues, allergies, food intolerance, symptoms that indicate deeper issues – and look into what actions are afoot in peoples immune systems that can lead to their problems. Are they dominant in a catabolic (TH1) pathway for example, and if so, where did it all start? It gets more interesting as they examine where initial ‘insults’ to immune health begin (mental, emotional and physical), where they lead if unchecked and just as importantly, what we can do about it through accessible changes in lifestyle. You’ll never look at stress, inflammation and the nervous system the same again! Dr Stewart Gillespie is a functional medicine practitioner with over 20 years of clinical experience. Trained as an osteopath in London and a chiropractor in New York, Stewart has worked closely with Dr Eric Berg for 4 years – dealing with hormones and weight loss, as well as interpreting blood work & functional lab testing. Stewart has also undertaken many training programs & mentorships, including learning from Charles Poliquin, Datis Kharrazian, Functional Medicine University & the Kalish Institute.
