Hello and welcome back to the Get Your Globe Out Podcast. I'm joined today by immunologist Dr. Jenna McCouche, PhD.

Jenna is a lecturer at the University of Sussex and author of her new book, Immunity, The Science of Staying Well.

Jenna's academic research focused remains on understanding the role of nutrition and lifestyle

on immunity.

And on today's episode, we spoke all about understanding our immune system and how to nurture

it through our lifestyle to maintain our health and fight whatever comes its way.

Jenna's work is really amazing and I love the way she broke down some pretty complex ideas

I hope you love listening to this episode.

Let's bring on the wonderful Jenna.
