Learn to rejuvenate your immune system, boost your metabolism, and prevent and heal a host of chronic diseases—no matter what your genetic markers predict—with this cutting-edge guide that introduces and defines the new field of immuno-rejuvenation.
Every day, millions of people live with fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, pain, and anxiety. What if these chronic symptoms are signals from an immune system that has lost its rhythm?
At the center of functional medicine, nutritional epigenetics, and longevity science, The Nourished Gene offers a revolutionary way to see health and longevity. Functional-medicine pioneer Jeffrey Bland, PhD, explains the revolutionary advances in our understanding of the immune system not only as a as defender against infection, but as a key system that impacts the efficient functioning of all others, central to controlling how we feel, how we behave, and how we look. Think of immune health as a master conductor conducting the orchestra that is the body’s healing.
Drawing on decades of clinical research, including recent Nobel Prize-winning discoveries, he shows that by re-educating our immune cells—using a specific diet, selective nutrients, movement, sleep, and stress mastery—we can reverse chronic symptoms, slow biological aging, and restore the body’s innate capacity for resilience.
Your rate of aging is strongly connected to the biological age of your immune system. By identifying the molecular crossroads between inflammation, metabolism, and immune cell rejuvenation, The Nourished Gene teaches you how to:
