About this course

The immune system is a complex orchestra that can easily go “out of tune” if nutrition status, gut health, and environmental factors aren’t optimised.

An interesting and under-recognised regulator of our immune function are the nutraceuticals and food phytonutrients. They have the ability to greatly influence immune status including reduce inflammation, inhibit allergic response and stimulate immune defence.

We depend on these regulators to constantly keep our immunity "in tune". When the immune system is out of balance we become susceptible to allergies and autoimmune diseases, chronic infections, inflammation and spiralling chronic illness.

In this webinar, Lara Zakaria looks at nutraceuticals and food-based interventions, focusing primarily on phytonutrients and the gut-immune interface. Dr Zakaria explores what constitutes a healthy immune system and discusses the difference between giving our immune system a short-term boost versus bringing the system into balance.

This discussion delves into the power of the gut-immune interface and explores the best practices for fortifying the immune system.
