How Nutrition Affects Immunity

Lisa is joined by Neil Edward Levin, CCN, DANLA, the Senior Nutrition Education Manager and a product formulator for NOW®. A board-certified clinical nutritionist who was a natural products retailer for over three decades, Neil is an international lecturer, a co-founder and longtime officer of the American Nutrition Association, and an award-winning ‘Industry Champion’.

Nutritional deficiencies both increase our susceptibility to illness and regulate the ability of foreign microbes to attack us. Learn how healthy immunity is affected by various nutrients, botanicals, and other dietary factors. Some of the things Lisa and Neil discuss are:

How do innate and adaptive immunity differ?

How do specific nutrients and gut health affect immunity?

What role does oxidative stress play?

What evidence supports the use of herbs to support immunity?
