Building Your Natural Immunity

Synopsis

Immune function has never been as topical as in recent years – it has been the focal point of our collective priority to optimise immunity and buffer against the threat posed by the pandemic. While our understanding of the human body has come on leaps and bounds in recent decades – there is still so much unknown about our crucial internal defense system.

This training explores several main aspects of immune function and explores natural ways to optimise the system to protect against the onset of serious illnesses. It examines the impact of lifestyle factors on natural immunity and gives attendees a better understanding of how nutrition, sleep, exercise and stress management practices can help to maintain good health.

It also touches on the debilitating effects of an overactive immune system and the prevalence of chronic inflammation and auto-immune conditions in our society – and strategies that may help to restore balance.
