Episode Description

<p dir="ltr">In this episode, Dr. Jockers and Dr. Chris D'Adamo break down how your immune system learns, adapts, and strengthens over time—and why beta-glucan is one of the most researched natural compounds for resilience. You'll hear how immune modulation, not just stimulation, can keep you healthy through stress, seasonal shifts, and everyday exposures.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">You'll learn how gut health, stress hormones, and immune function are deeply connected, and why improving your stress tolerance starts with lowering inflammation and supporting your microbiome. Dr. D'Adamo explains the science behind cortisol, trained immunity, and the role beta-glucan plays in balancing your system long before symptoms appear.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">You'll also discover why immune aging may be one of the biggest drivers of biological aging—and how supporting your innate defenses can influence longevity, energy, and mood. Throughout the conversation, you'll pick up practical strategies you can start using today to strengthen immunity in a real, sustainable way.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">In This Episode:<strong><strong></strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">00:00 Introduction to Beta-Glucan and Cancer Research</p> <p dir="ltr">00:37 Training Your Immune System</p> <p dir="ltr">01:23 Beta-Glucan: Sources and Benefits</p> <p dir="ltr">05:48 Interview with Dr. Chris Omo: Immune System Focus</p> <p dir="ltr">08:07 Beta-Glucan and Immune Modulation</p> <p dir="ltr">09:44 Cold and Flu Season: Immune System Tips</p> <p dir="ltr">11:24 Beta-Glucan and Biological Aging</p> <p dir="ltr">17:45 Beta-Glucan Dosage and Usage</p> <p dir="ltr">20:23 Personal Immune System Strategies</p> <p dir="ltr">22:55 Trained Immunity and Beta-Glucan</p> <p dir="ltr">25:14 Beta-Glucan and Cortisol Reduction</p> <p dir="ltr">30:05 The Role of Beta-Glucan in Detoxification</p> <p dir="ltr">33:07 Supplements and Modern Toxicity</p> <p dir="ltr">34:45 Beta-Glucan for Kids</p> <p dir="ltr">36:26 Exciting Research on Immune Health</p> <p dir="ltr">39:17 Daily Habits for a Strong Immune System</p> <p dir="ltr">42:12 The Benefits of Sauna and Cold Exposure</p> <p dir="ltr">47:10 Choosing the Right Beta-Glucan Supplement</p> <p dir="ltr">48:28 Conclusion and Final Thoughts</p> <p dir="ltr"><br> Hydration is one of the fastest ways to boost your energy, sharpen your focus, curb cravings, and even improve the look and feel of your skin — but water alone isn't enough.
