0:11.1	Dr. Gundry and other wellness experts offer inspiring stories, the latest scientific advancements, and practical tips to empower you to take control of your health and live a long, happy life.
0:23.9	There are foods that can actually support your immune system that I've talked about before,
0:29.6	but there's some really important foods that will destroy your immune system that you should know about.
0:36.2	First up, we've learned that 80% of all of our immune system, all of our white cells,

2:15.6	So all those white cells were kind of out of commission
2:18.7	because they were battling the enemy down in the gut. So that's point number one.
