The coronavirus of 2020 put a spotlight on immunity for billions of people around the globe. Through the continual media coverage, daily statistics tracking and government regulations designed to prevent the spread of the virus, we learned the meaning of PPE, social distancing and contact tracing. However, we received less information on how the body’s immune system works and how to support it in fending off viruses of all kinds.
In our WellnessTalk, Optimizing Immunity Amidst a Pandemic, Dr. Bethany Tennant will go beyond hand washing and mask-wearing to explain how your immune system functions. You’ll hear evidence-based research about nutrients and lifestyle medicine you can incorporate to stay healthy. She will explain how vaccines interface with the immune system and how clinical trials determine efficacy. You will take away food, exercise, stress management and sleep strategies to support yourself and loved ones.
