The Dr. Hyman Show
Can Food Really Heal Your Brain? | Dr. Jeff Bland & Dr. William Li

And we have a questionnaire on our website that's called the Immuno Identity Questionnaire that gives a little bit of a help for a person identifying their own specific immunotype. Then we go from there saying, well, now you have your immunotype, what are you going to do to move you from an imbalanced immune state to a balanced immune state. That's what we're all hoping for.

Because what we want to do is we don't want to shut off our immune system, or we don't want to hyper-function it. I mean, people always say, boost your immune system. But hold on just a minute. If you're already in an inflammatory state, do you really want to boost your inflammation? No, you want to rebalance your inflammation.

And so people say, I'm just going to take a bunch of immune system boosting nutrients. Well, no, no, no. That may actually only exacerbate the problem and make it worse. So the second step then, is you modulate your immune system based upon what you've learned about your first state. Are you immuno-underactive, immuno-overactive? Do you need to bring your immune system down?

Do you need to bring your immune system up? And we have a series of ways that that can be employed with diet and lifestyle. I would again go back to where you took us earlier, and that is make sure when you introduce the program They're using food as a friend. And you're using rhythmic eating so that time becomes your friend. Your circadian rhythms doesn't become your enemy. Don't overindulge.

Don't too frequently snack. I mean, it used to be, oh, we want to take seven to eight meals a day. Those are the days of hypoglycemia. That was probably not a good idea with regard to what we've learned about circadian rhythms.

Then the next level, the third step, is how can I optimize my immune system by utilizing some of these specific nutrients that we've been describing, the Himalayan, Tartary, Buckwheat phytochemicals. I would also put into this family, there are three families of nutrients that are very important. The phytochemicals we've been discussing a lot.

Second are pre and probiotics because the gut plays such an important role in modulating our immune system. 70% of our immune system It's clustered around our gut, the so-called gut-associated lymphoid tissue. So we want the friendly microbiome. So pre and probiotics would be step two. And then the third are omega-3 fatty acids.
