Dr. Van Dyken will discuss immunonutrition and the factors involved, as well as the many ways in which dietary choices play a role in the health of the immune system. Learn about the microbiome and what we can do to ensure that we are maintaining a healthy gut microenvironment; telomeres, why they are important, and what they mean in regards to longevity and how we can influence this; as well as dietary "biohacks" that enhance the immune system.
