ZOE Science & Nutrition · How 'boosting' your immune system increases inflammation and 4 ways to support balance instead | Dr Giulia Enders · 7 May 2026 podcast

No, because it would really like to live there unnoticed.

And that would be the best case for it if no one bothered and it could just be there and do its thing.

But who bothers is our immune system.

It's saying, oh, I don't like the way this special microbe is treating my cells.

I'm against that.

I don't think it's a good match.

So we should, you know, divide this up here.

And in that case, it'll start popping some of the throat cells to get those out that have the virus in, and then protecting the cells around to not get the virus from the virus spreading.

It'll induce little wounds during that, and it'll make the nerve cells more sensible,

with all the inflammation.

So that's where your sore throat comes from.

Or also the runny nose is a mechanism where when there's an infection or a bacteria or virus noticed in the cells, the immune system will trigger the blood vessels to become porous.

And through these porous cells, suddenly the fluids from the bloodstream enter the tissue.

And that's good because the immune cells can come with that.

They can go to the place where the infection is happening through those pores and they get there, get to the trouble spot.

But also all the liquids that are coming out of the blood are then creating this swelling and runny nose.

And the runny nose will expel whatever is there, just like diarrhea does expel a bad germ or coughing does expel viruses in a load so that you don't all have to fight them.

You're just, you know, getting rid of them, have fewer of them after.

And fever is also a way of the immune system really driving up its own temperature of the body with the help of the brain to then have the virus or bacteria feel uncomfortable with this changed temperature.

And also tell other immune system cells that are further away, oh, we're activating this higher temperature mode, so we might all get a bit engaged here.
