HEAL with Kelly The Father of Functional Medicine: How to Boost Immunity, Reverse Aging and Prevent Disease with Dr. Jeffrey Bland
What if aging didn’t have to mean decline, but meant renewal instead? What if food wasn’t just fuel, but a key to longevity, immunity, and total well-being? In this compelling episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with Dr. Jeffrey Bland, the Father of Functional Medicine, to explore the science of immuno-rejuvenation and the keys to turning back our biological clocks.
Dr. Bland unpacks how our immune systems don’t have to deteriorate with age — revealing how we can reverse immune aging naturally. He shares groundbreaking research on Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat, a lost superfood packed with over 120 immune-boosting polyphenols, and explains why diet personalization is crucial for long-term vitality.
The conversation also dives into the emerging science behind GLP-1 hormones, like those used in Ozempic, and how our bodies naturally regulate appetite and metabolism. Dr. Bland also explores the secrets of Blue Zones, the critical role of soil health in human health, and the concept of resonance — how everything from the food we eat to our emotional environment can either support or disrupt our body’s natural harmony.
Mentor to the likes of Dr. Mark Hyman and others, and the founder of Big Bold Health, Dr. Bland is at the forefront of a movement revolutionizing immune resilience, regenerative agriculture, and planetary health, proving that our well-being is deeply interconnected with the world around us.
Packed with science-backed wisdom, practical tools, and eye-opening insights, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to take control of their health in a truly holistic, functional, and personalized way.
