Humans are a reflection of our environments and what we consume. When it comes to extending our health span—the number of healthy years we exist on this planet—it is critical to pay attention to what we consume, and that means paying attention to what our food consumes. I’m excited to sit down with my good friend, Dr. Jeff Bland, to discuss exciting new research from his recent clinical trial on the impact of phytochemicals on immune system aging and how to utilize the power of nature’s anti-aging wisdom through food.  


Dr. Bland is the founder of Big Bold Health. Through Big Bold Health, Dr. Bland is advocating for the power of Immuno-Rejuvenation to enhance immunity at a global level, often through the rediscovery of ancient food crops and superfoods. Dr. Bland and his wife, Susan, founded The Institute for Functional Medicine in 1991, and the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute in 2012. Dr. Bland 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.
