Summary

Dr. Jeff Bland has been a guiding force in my life—and in the world of Functional Medicine. For decades, his work has helped shift medicine away from naming and blaming disease, toward truly understanding and addressing its root causes. In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, Jeff and I continue our conversation about how to turn the tide on chronic disease—starting with the immune system. We discuss: • How aging quietly weakens your immune system—and why you don’t have to accept it • How phytochemicals act as gene regulators—not just antioxidants • Why your diet might be accelerating immune dysfunction (and how to fix it) • Why Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat may be the most powerful food you’re not eating (yet) • What it means to rejuvenate your immune system—and how to start doing it today This conversation is personal for both of us—and a powerful reminder that when we care for the body, it has an incredible capacity to heal.
