How The Immune System Connects Body and Mind With Dr Jenna Macciochi

How The Immune System Connects Body and Mind With Dr Jenna Macciochi

Dr Jenna Macciochi is an immunologist who has recently published her first book - Immunity - the Science of Staying Well. In this book she brings her 20 years experience and education to bare - breaking down how our lifestyle interacts with our immune system and the impact this has on our health. 

At a time when our immune system has never been more important - I have brought Jenna onto the podcast to really examine the emerging and vital role - in the body mind connection. And how we can use this to our advantage. 

On this episode we cover

  • What the immune system actually is
  • How this interacts with our nervous system
  • The impact of stress. And how this can actually HELP us!
  • The role of inflammation. And how this may be affecting our mental health. 
  • How loneliness impacts our ability to fight viruses - including Covid 

….AND SO MUCH MORE.
