Summary

In this week’s episode, I had the utmost honor of chatting with Dr. Heather Moday about the complexity of the immune system and how we can help it function at its highest potential. Dr. Heather Moday is an acclaimed immunologist and functional medicine practitioner who has spent the last 25 years helping people like us take control of our lives by optimizing nutrition, lowering stress, and improving vitality. Turns out there are several tangible tools that we can implement into our daily lives to find balance. As you tune into the episode, I’ve created a simple outline for you to reference along the way.

We cover:

  • Testing for inflammation
  • Fasting glucose levels
  • C-reactive protein (which is more specific for inflammation)
  • Ferritin level (increases with inflammation)
  • Homocysteine levels
  • The four different types of immune functionality and how to find homeostasis in the body for each
  • Gut health and the immune system
  • Non-negotiable foods, vitamins, and minerals for proper immune function
  • And so much more!

As always, tune into the episode to learn all of these essential nuggets of information. And be sure to share your thoughts with me on IG: @shoporganicolivia.
