Are you always getting sick, and the people around you aren’t? Find out why.
The question we want to answer today is, "why are some people more susceptible to an infection and other people are immune from infections?"
What does "susceptible" mean? - Likely or liable to be influenced or harmed by a particular thing.
There are two main parts of the immune system:
Innate: The innate part is something you're born with
Neutrophils
Monocytes
Natural killer cells
Rapid response
Adapted: When you're born you don't have the adapted system yet
• T-cells
• B-cells
• Requires education and training
• Memory
• Differentiate between host and invader
What are the key things that make you more susceptible to an infection?:
1. Stress
2. Low vitamin D
3. Low zinc
4. Low vitamin A
5. Low vitamin C

| 0:29.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So the question we want to answer today is why are some people very |
| 0:47.7 | susceptible to getting infections and other people are immune from |
| 0:52.3 | infections. |
| 0:53.4 | I was flying somewhere this last weekend and I'm sitting in this plane and the person right |
| 0:58.7 | behind me is just coughing and hacking and the lady next to me has a scarf around her mouth and I'm sitting there trying not to breathe the air in this plane it was disgusting and I had no symptoms at all but you always think that, wow, I wonder if I'm going to get sick because |

| 2:06.8 | When you're born you don't have this system developed yet and it's composed of T cells and B cells. This system |
| 2:17.6 | requires education and training. So as soon as you start being exposed to the environment, whether it's a virus or a bacteria, |
| 2:27.0 | your body starts reacting and learning and developing a memory, |
| 2:31.0 | so the next time you're exposed to it, your immune system knows exactly what to do. |
