Your immune system isn’t just about being "strong" or "weak"—it’s about balance. Too often, we think of immunity in black-and-white terms, but in reality, an overactive immune system can be just as problematic as a weakened one. From inflammation to autoimmune conditions, understanding immune balance is key to long-term health.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why the immune system isn’t just about getting "stronger"—it’s about regulation.

• The consequences of sleep deprivation on immune function.
• Gut Health & Immunity - Why a thriving gut microbiome is essential for immune regulation.
