From Support to Resilience: Rethinking Immune Health

What if “supporting the immune system” isn’t enough? In this thought-provoking episode, a panel of integrative practitioners explores how to move beyond short-term immune support toward lasting immune resilience-the body’s capacity to adapt, recover, and maintain balance through life’s physical and emotional stressors.
 
Join us as we unpack the key pillars that influence resilient immunity: emotional balance and nervous system regulation, effective drainage and detoxification pathways, and the foundational role of gut health. Together, these systems determine not just how the body defends itself, but how it restores equilibrium after challenge. 
 
Key Takeaways:
●     Discover the difference between immune support and immune resilience, and why it matters for long-term patient outcomes.
●     Understand how emotional regulation and stress physiology shape immune adaptability.
●     Explore how proper drainage and detoxification help maintain internal balance and optimal immune function.
●     Learn how gut integrity and microbial diversity provide the foundation for sustained resilience
