In this episode of the Natural Allergy Treatment Podcast, Jess is joined by Canberra naturopath and Positive Association Technique (PAT) practitioner Fiona Joiner to explore the connection between allergies, gut health and immune function to help explain why those with allergies or food sensitivities seem to catch every cold and flu going around.
Fiona explains the foundations of a healthy immune system, including the role of nutrition, the innate immune system, mucosal barriers and Secretory IgA in particular.
The conversation also explores how the gut microbiome and food sensitivities influences immune function, why allergy induced inflammation can make viral infections harder to recover from, and how allergy symptoms can sometimes be confused with a lingering cold.
If you regularly find yourself catching every bug going around, taking a closer look at your allergies, nutrition, gut health, inflammation, stress and recovery may be more useful than simply adding another immune-boosting supplement to your routine.
