Declining Immune Resilience
- There's a decline in immune resilience, leading to a rise in autoimmune diseases, allergic diseases, and long COVID.
- This dysregulation involves both underactive and overactive immune responses, increasing cancer and autoimmune disease risks.
Gut Health and Immune Resilience
- Immune resilience is centered in the gut, which plays a crucial role in immune system balance.
- Modern lifestyles, including C-sections, lack of breastfeeding, and antibiotics, disrupt gut health and immune resilience.
COVID-19 and Autoimmunity
- COVID-19 infection increases the risk of developing autoimmune diseases due to a loss of immune resilience.
- Immune resilience is the capacity to defend against threats and return to balance, which is often impaired post-COVID.
