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

It's not people's fault or having too much sugar that will then lead to them for sure to get this disease.

So people have genetic disposition, there's environment like air pollution, all these things can also lead to that.

So it's not the only cause, but it's just one aspect you might want to be careful with because it pushes it in a wrong direction.

And there's other ways when I think people say, well, should I not at all strengthen my immune system now?

And here I would also interfere and say, no, no, oftentimes it's about not weakening it.

Because, for example, chronic stress really weakens it because the body uses all this energy for problem solving, for ruminating, and then it takes it away from, for example, sleep and forming ripe, good immune cells that regulate the immune system.

When there's a cold season and everyone around you is sick, you might as well strengthen it with some substances.

I'm okay with that, you know.

But for the most part, it's about knowing a bit about it, like having a balanced body, supporting it, not weakening it.

I think many people, when they're thinking about their immune system, they immediately go to these supplements that say they're going to boost your immune system.

Firstly, do any of them work?

And secondly, are they all a bad idea because boosting your immune system, you said, potentially actually is not what you're looking to do?

So they're not generally a bad idea, but sometimes the focus is wrong here.

People sometimes lose sight of the big chunk of like the 80% stuff, as I like to call it.

Those are the things maybe your mama already told you, you know, get enough sleep, have a healthy diet, don't stress too much, enjoy life a little bit, like sleep.

You know, these things where it sounds so basic and simple, but actually just to take care of these things is already a handful.

And it's the most effective.

And we know this from so much research and studies now that I don't think there should be any doubt.

You've mentioned multiple times, actually, in our conversation, this concept that stress can impact my immune system, maybe weaken it or maybe sort of cause inflammation.
