Dr. Jen Pfleghaar attended medical school at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. She then went on to residency at St Vincent’s Mercy Medical Center for Emergency Medicine. Dr. Jen spent one year flying with Life Flight as a flight physician. She now works at local emergency rooms in the community and her office in Perrysburg, OH practicing Integrative Medicine. She is a graduate from the The University of Arizona: Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine's two year fellowship program. She is currently board certified in Emergency Medicine and Integrative Medicine. Dr. Jen loves speaking and lectures to physicians at conferences including the AOA (American Osteopathic Association). Her own health history of Hashimoto’s (which is now in remission) sparked her interest in Integrative Medicine. She is very passionate about helping patients with chronic disease and teaching them now to let the body heal itself.
In today’s episode, Dr. Jen discusses immunity, including common illnesses in children like ear infections and fevers. She shares how our immune system works and how we can best support it, including how to improve our immune system in the midst of Covid-19.
