The Immune System's Hidden Role in Mental Health with Dr. Jenna Macciochi

Our immune cells have receptors on the surface for these, so they can respond to how we're feeling.
What if your immune system could impact more than just your physical health? In this episode of 'Holistic Horizons', Dr. Jude sits down with Dr. Jenna Macciochi, an immunologist and author of 'Immunity - the Science of Staying Well'. With 20 years of experience under her belt, Dr. Macciochi unpacks how our lifestyle choices interact with our immune system, influencing our overall well-being.
She dives into the intricate relationship between our immune system and mental health, exploring a field known as psychoneuroimmunology. Ever wondered how stress can actually help you? Or how loneliness might affect your ability to fight off viruses? Dr. Macciochi sheds light on these questions and more. The conversation also touches on the role of inflammation in mental health, the impact of childhood stress on nervous system development, and the importance of social connections.
This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone curious about the deeper connections between body and mind.
