Can you actually boost your immune system? Here's the truth | Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter
Take vitamin C supplements when you feel a cold coming on? The problem is, you can’t actually “strengthen” your immune system, says Dr. Jen Gunter. Diving into the elegant network of cells, tissues and organs that protect us every day, she introduces two kinds of immunity that specialize in recognizing and fighting off bad bacteria, viruses, fungi and toxins — and shares what you can do to keep your immune system healthy.
Think you know how your body works? Think again! Dr. Jen Gunter is here to shake up everything you thought you knew — from how much water you need to drink to how often you need to poop and everything in between. This TED original series will tell you the truth about what’s *really* going on inside you.

How about green tea apple cider vinegar and pure honey can help
I get cold and viral infection 7-8 times a year. What should I do?
So basically, we can assist our immune systems from getting worse, but we can’t strengthen it. So, if a person’s immune system is horrible at conception, the person is screwed for life, but if their immune system is robust at conception…. they’re safe for life….. right? So if a person kills their liver, they’ll be fiiiine…..
Correct but the Covid vaccines are NOT licensed vaccines!
And the way companies make vaccines now can NOT be trusted anymore! 😢😢😢
Planet Ayurveda’s Immunity Booster Capsules are an incredible addition to my health routine. They’ve supported my overall well-being and made me feel more resilient. The product quality is excellent and trustworthy. I’m so glad I found this amazing immunity-boosting solution
Lmao shut up
All that to tell us to get vaxxed stfu
You lost me at "vaccines".
It started out ok, but when she said vaccines, it destroyed the liability of the video.
Lady, whomever or whatever made our bodies did so that if taken care of within the boundaries of balance we would age well and survive. BUT NOT BY FORCING CHEMICALS INTO THE BODY! SHAME ON YOU!
F you for wasting 5 minutes of my life. There’s not a vaccine for everything. Give us information we can work with not waste my damn time.
1. Immune system can be improved with right prophylaxis
2. Wound healing mostly depends on tissue growth
3. Vaccines work properly if they are chosen correctly and other types of prophilaxis are considered
over 2000 years of observation tells us citrus fruits boost our vit C levels and immune systems response. This person suggests something only refined in the last 100 years while completely omitting the facts.
a great philosopher once said. Let food be thy medicine.
why am i constantly sick (multiple times a year) the past 4 years when i was barely sick in a whole decade if vaccines are sooo genius? I mean i get it, they do help and my toddler carries home a lot of pathogens from kindergarten BUT those pathogens are all known to my immune System, i’ve have had them plenty in my 35 years of life so they should not be a suprise to my body. Before 2020 i was sick once every 4 years, now i am at least 4 times a year sick. GO FIGURE…
Currently watching this while sick
What an actual waste of time to lead into vaccines at the end.
I believed everything you said until you got to vaccines. Now I don’t believe and single word. Way to ruin it.
My problem is lack of sleep, I skip meals , anxiety, horrible diet & I don’t drink enough water. I also have allergies such has sea food & pollen. I have a history of asthma. I get frequent sinus infections & colds. I also get Acid reflux & IBS symptoms. My stress makes me also not want to eat which is why I lose weight or remain the same weight. A year ago I gained alotbif weight and lost it because I wasn’t happy with my self.
Well at least she’s talking about the old-fashioned ones
So this was a vaccine ad? There was no actual advice or science. How disappointing
Should speak of gut microbiome.
What, the answer to help the immune system is “vaccin”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haaaaaa
Thank you so much, Dr. Jen Gunter, for the valuable and scientific information about the immune system! This video helped me better understand how to maintain a healthy body without relying on ‘immune-boosting’ products that lack scientific backing. The advice on diet, exercise, and proper sleep is really practical and easy to apply. I will try to incorporate these changes into my daily life to improve my health. Thank you for sharing this very valuable knowledge! 1:47
Thanks for the info
Wow!!!!! She had me until she talked about vaccines!!!!
This is all simplistic rubbish. For example, vitamin C in high doses may not be a silver bullet but can aid in preventimg bacteria attaching to cell membranes.
"Elderberry syrup, vitamin c tablets" are you in my mom’s house?
😢the weakened pathogen antigen protocol of vaccines is only effective with viruses, it does not effect with the same results with much or even slightly different viruses from the same family or bacteria, especially with the active bacteria that are designed with many disruption processes in their arsenal. That’s when immune boosting and optimizing protocols really have their chance to shine and do their best work. Take care of yourselves and don’t rely on external medicine as much as you can; the keys to the universe are said to be contained in the breath. So breathe easy and be well. ❤
日本語の翻訳がめちゃくちゃで笑う
Nah, gotta have Vitamin D, C, and Zinc.
The only really way to "boost" your immune system is vaccines. Gives the weakened virus or bacteria the adaptive immune system chance to produce memory cells. it’s that or get an illness and have your immune system attack the pathogen. Other than that, keep it normal. Have a good diet. Sleep. Keep your stress down.
Nice try Diddy .
How about probiotics and the microbiome?
Im planning to go to an immunologist
Ive had many many many visits to many doctors and after years and years of 30/40 infections many of which got me to the hospital and frkm pneumonia to uti to gas uti’s to failed surgeries or chronic sinusitis to heart pericarditis and englarged spleen laryngitis and anemias throat infections and GI infections.. I’m just tired honestly ive had so many antibiotics in my life i feel like im 80 years old not 19
So I’m cooked is what I heard
I need this to my nasal polyp
The boosting immune system mantra is just for pharmaceutical marketing or for food supplements thst basically do nothing. From food we xan get al the necessary vitamins.
thank you very much sir .very nice explanation.sir , you can also try immuno plan syp of planet ayurveda
Since I am taking every day vitamin C and D in 2 years I dis not have a flu comparing to other years where I get sick a lot, I think supliments are very important with nowdays poor diet, polution, stress and lack of exposing us to sun, because we work all day in the office 😢
Vaccines are cool, but not mRNA, and not mercury. Obviously.
The host is too loud with jokes we want to hear the guest
Stay away from stress don’t take life too seriously 😐
When you mentioned the Flu vaccines , I knew that what you are saying is pure BS , and crap 👊🏾👎👎👎👎
What a waste of time…Vax is not the answer!
1:09 wrong it’s the second protection the first Is the skin etc etc
Ashwagandha Capsules by Planet Ayurveda is a natural way to boost your body’s strength and enhance immunity for overall well-being! Must Try!!
no solution only blaaa blaa
You lost me at take the vaccines 😭 but technically that is the only medication that can work but i think I’ll stick to a healthy diet, exercise,prayer, meditation and sleep.
Are you telling me that working 80 hours a week, with half of those hours being third shift, isn’t great for me? Lol! 😂😂😂😂😂

اگر عامدانه سیستم ایمنی دچار نقص شود منظور بوسیله ویروس شخصی را تدریجا سیستم ایمنی بدن فرد را نشانه گرفته باشند ایا بازگشت به حالت اولیه وجود دارد ؟
ACCURATE INFO, OTHER THAN THE IDIOTIC, ASSININE VACCINE SUGGESTION!
