The past 2-3 years have provided all of us with a hands-on crash course in immunology. But what is immunology, exactly, and how does it influence our daily life?

This Inherited Wellness podcast episode answers all of those questions and more through an amazing conversation with Dr. Heather Zwickey, an internationally-recognized immunology speaker, researcher, and teacher.

We discuss SO many topics in this episode, including:

* The basics of the immune system (3:28)

* Autoimmune diseases (10:05)

* How simple things like diet, sleep, and exercise modulate our immune system (15:16)

* How our birth experience (vaginal vs C-section) influences our body’s microbiome (22:43)

* Are probiotics really helpful? (27:50)

* Ways that our environment influences our health (30:26)

* How our immune system evolves throughout our lifespan (26:22)

* The crucial decision that we need to make each day (45:46)
