Repetition.

We mentioned self-compassion.

We've taken a bit of a dive into stress.

What about diet and our immune system?

Where are you at these days?

How do you think about it?

And how has that evolved since the last time you were on the show?

A lot of people, as you just pointed out, are concerned about doing high heat cooking with olive oil.

But you're saying from the research that you've seen, that's not really something that we should be worried about.

Apart from olive oil, for people who want some more specifics, you have mentioned that the Mediterranean pattern is one pattern.

Of course, it's not the only pattern.

What are the principles you look to follow or you advise people if they're saying, hey, Jenna, how can I eat in a way that supports my immune system health?

Yes, olive oil, but are there some more broad principles that you advise people try and follow?

Well, I think that's the key point, isn't it?

So I saw that study as well.

And I think it's really interesting because then the question becomes,

how much of the population are being replete in vitamins and nutrients.

And certainly from my clinical experience, I would say quite a lot of people are not getting in the right amount of nutrients for a variety of reasons.

Yes, it can be cost.

It can also be that they're super busy and time pressure so they don't have time to make these home-cooked meals.
