This episode is about one of the most significant aspects of health and wellness that’s often overlooked. Immunity.
Dr Anna Brooks is a top immunologist and researcher, and she takes us on a deep dive into myths, truths, theories and the latest understanding when it comes to viruses, immunity, Covid and resilience. This includes:
-How her Keto diet helps her allergies
-Honing in on “trigger” foods to find out what makes you react, and how it’s not just about avoiding them
-What’s a virus, how it makes us sick, and how cells in the body respond to it
-Why some people catch a virus and others don’t - including why kids are often more resilient
-How viruses you catch as a kid can stay latent in your system forever, and how that can impact you later on
-What natural immunity is, and how vaccinations play into it
-How you can build your immunity (spoiler: diet is key)
-The role of the microbiome, and what we know about making it stronger
-Antibiotics - when you should and shouldn’t use them (including Anna’s recommendation for the best lozenges)
-How fasting impacts immunity
-Anna’s experience taking probiotics and the impact on her microbiome
-Supplements - when to take them for the biggest impact
-Hot and cold therapy
-Why this year’s flu season was so bad, and why next year might be another rough one
-Sleep and immunity
-Covid - how it’s different to the flu, and the surprising time it takes for our body to recover fully
-Why fitness doesn’t necessarily translate to immunity
-Long Covid - why people are getting it
-The importance of looking after yourself when you’re sick
