With flu-like illnesses reaching their highest levels in the U.S. in 25 years, John breaks down the real reasons behind our declining immune health. From chronic stress and sleep deprivation to nutrient-depleted food and gut health issues, he examines how modern life is quietly overwhelming our immune systems. John shares practical, actionable strategies to take control of your health, including the importance of movement, real food, supplements, and stress reduction.
