Foods and Habits That Keep Your Immune System Resilient

Our immune systems are under more pressure than ever—from processed
diets, environmental toxins, stress, and fast-spreading
infections—and the result is faster aging and greater vulnerability
to disease. As we grow older, “zombie cells” spread inflammation
throughout the body, weakening defenses and accelerating decline.
But research shows we’re not powerless: the emerging science of
immuno-rejuvenation reveals that we can retrain and rebuild our
immunity. Through the right foods, lifestyle habits, and even
strategic stressors, the body has hidden pathways for repair and
renewal—offering clues to how we might slow aging and unlock
greater resilience. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr.
Elizabeth Boham and Dr. Roger Seheult, how we can support the
immune system by using food, lifestyle, and hormetic stress to
reduce illness and restore resilience while slowing aging. Dr.
Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany
Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine
Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The
UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics,
including Women’s Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin
resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on
the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. Dr. Roger
Seheult is currently an Associate Clinical Professor at the
University of California, Riverside School of Medicine, and an
Assistant Clinical Professor at the School of Medicine and Allied
Health at Loma Linda University. Dr. Seheult is quadruple
board-certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Diseases, Critical
Care Medicine, and Sleep Medicine through the American Board of
Internal Medicine. His current practice is in Banning, California

Director for Intensive Care Services at San Gorgonio Memorial
Hospital.  He lectures routinely across the country at
