Rejuvenate Your Immune System with Dr. Jeffrey Bland
09/15/22 • 134 min
1 Listener
According to Dr. Jeffrey Bland, the “father of Functional Medicine,” the immune system is nature's greatest protector and innovator. It represents your body’s ability to resist all the things that want to tear you apart — and in doing so it intimately defines what is you and what is not you. In this episode, Dr. Bland and Jeff discuss what degrades our immune system as well as how to rejuvenate it.

333. Meditation: Shedding Your Many Identities
There are times for all of us when life can feel heavy, and this heaviness often originates from the weight of the many roles we assign to ourselves. We layer on identities like sweaters — parent, child, student, employee, engaged citizen. But what if we shed a few of these layers, just for a moment?
