Sonja Nodland, PhD, is the Director of Immune Health at Kerry and the leading expert in how beta glucans help strengthen the body's natural defenses. With more than 15 years of research dedicated to understanding the science of immune training, she has played a key role in demonstrating how beta glucans support everyday wellness by priming the immune system to respond more efficiently. Her current work explores exciting new areas where trained immunity may offer additional benefits, including support for seasonal allergy management and healthier metabolic function—two emerging frontiers in immune‑related well-being.
