Summary

Are you sick of getting sick all the time? Jennifer O’Connell co-founded a supplement brand with friends Aoife Matthews and Louise O’Riordan after her busy life as a barrister and triathlete left her immune system depleted. She joins Liz to reveal how we can keep our immune system strong in midlife.

 

Jennifer and Liz take a deep dive into how stress impacts our immunity, plus reveal the key nutrients that can help to bolster our defences, such as zinc, copper and Coenzyme Q10.

 

Inside this episode brought to you in partnership with SISTERLY Liz and Jennifer look at how The Elevator has been curated specifically for the needs of women, and how we can build better habits to support our health.
