Immune Resilience: How the Microbiome Affects Immunity with Romilly Hodges

With an ongoing pandemic that doesn't abate, is it any wonder
immune health is on everyone's mind? As we adapt to these
unprecedented times, the interest in supporting immunity has
skyrocketed. So, I couldn't wait to interview my dear friend and
long-term colleague, Romilly Hodges. With her new book Immune
Resilience just out, I'm thrilled to share Romilly's exciting
pearls on immune health on New Frontiers. You may know Rom from her
time as Nutrition Programs Director at our clinic and her work on
our Methylation Diet & Lifestyle program, now known as Younger
You. Romilly is all that, and so much more: also a CNS, IFMCP, and
vastly published author in several peer-reviewed journals. In this
very special episode, we discuss the role of the microbiome in
infection defense and immune system training, the effects of nature
exposure, the ongoing pandemic and immune system development,
immune tolerance and micro-exposures, and how sleep affects vaccine
efficacy. It’s a lot! Romilly also reveals strategic multifactorial
interventions and the power of whole foods over supplements. This
research-packed discussion will leave you wanting more – to be
continued for sure! As always, thank you for listening and please
do leave a comment wherever you hear my voice. - DrKF
