How 'boosting' your immune system increases inflammation and 4 ways to support balance instead | Dr Giulia Enders

In this episode, gastroenterologist Dr. Giulia Enders challenges the popular notion of 'boosting' the immune system and instead advocates for balance. She explains that symptoms like fever and runny nose are active defenses, not signs of failure, and that suppressing them can sometimes backfire. Through her new book 'Organ Speak,' she details how diet, stress, sleep, and exercise modulate immune function, with sugar promoting inflammation and rest supporting health. The core message: health is about calibration, not brute strength.
