Dr. Jeffrey Bland (IG: @drjeffreybland) is the founder of Big Bold Health, a company on a mission to transform the way people think about one of nature’s greatest innovations - the immune system.

A lifelong educator, Jeff has traveled the world many times over in his role as the “father of functional medicine.”

In 1991, he and his wife, Susan, founded The Institute for Functional Medicine.

Jeff is the author of The Disease Delusion: Conquering the Causes of Chronic Illness for a Healthier, Longer, and Happier Life, as well as countless additional books and research papers.

Today we go upstream from chronic inflammation and look at the immune system's role in the current health crisis + how to fix it.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What is immuno-rejuvenation?
  • The Immuno-Identity questionnaire
  • Wearable fitness trackers can tap into your immune health
  • Every chronic disease is related to immune dysfunction

  • Is your autoimmune disease the result of bad genes?
  • Why a low-antigen diet is used for immuno-rejuvenation
  • Immuno-rejuvenating foods to include in your diet
  • Time-restricted feeding is recommended for immuno-rejuvenation
  • Supplements to rejuvenate your immune system
  • PRM fish oils help reduce inflammation
  • Why does cod liver oil get a bad rap?
