A must-read for anyone interested in living a long and healthy life." JASON WACHOB, Founder & Co-CEO of mindbodygreen.comTo most of us, the immune system is a mysterious and complex network of cells, receptors, and messengers that we only notice when it goes awry. But our immune response, or lack of, affects nearly every aspect of our bodies and our health. Much has been made of ''boosting'' immunity, but what exactly does that mean? And what if boosting isn''t really what our immune systems need?In The Immunotype Breakthrough, functional medicine doctor and immunity specialist Dr Heather Moday explains that, for the most part, what our immune systems truly need is not boosting, but balancing. She identifies four distinct immunotypes, and helps you find yours:Smouldering: too much inflammation, resulting in diabetes, dementia, heart diseaseMisguided: an immune system which attacks your own cells and organs, causing autoimmune diseasesHyperactive: overreactive to harmless substances, causing allergiesWeak: an immune system that doesn''t react fast or effectively enough, causing frequent colds, flu or bronchitisDrawing on a wealth of cutting-edge research, Dr Moday explains that our immune systems are fluid and significantly influenced by our behaviours, diet, habits, and environment. By identifying your personal immunotype, and implementing Dr Moday''s Immune Restoration Plan, you can make focused, individualised lifestyle changes to bring your immune system back into balance.With interactive quizzes to help readers zero in on their own specific needs, The Immunotype Breakthrough is a revolutionary programme that will lead to holistic health, vitality, and longevity for everyone.
