I'm sure this comes as a huge surprise, your immune system is pretty important in keeping you healthy.

Your immune system protects you from pathogens. Sometimes it recognizes pathogens right away, where as other times it takes awhile before it recognizes it is under attack.

To have a better response to a pathogen, there are ways we can strengthen the immune system, which is why I have Dr. Gary Kaplan on the show today.

  • Why taking Vitamin D and C isn't enough to support the immune system
  • How the immune system responds to different pathogens 
  • How to determine when to intervene to support your immune system
  • What methods to use to strengthen the immune system
