Dr Melanie | Highlights Season 4

In a post-pandemic world, the importance of healthy immunity has never been more top of mind. In Australia, Primary immunodeficiency disorders are a diverse group of more than 400 potentially serious, chronic illnesses that can lead to frequent or severe infections, swellings and autoimmune problems. Genetic testing and early detection can have a profound impact on life span, healthspan and treatment protocols of allergies and autoimmune disorders which also impact how we age. The Australasian Society for Clinical Allergy and Immunology (ASCIA), have identified the importance of early diagnosis for all primary immunodeficiencies and newborn screening.  In this episode, I spoke to Dr Melanie Wong, a Past President of the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy (ASCIA), co-head of the Immunology and Allergy Dept at the Children's Hospital at Westmead on how immunity can be tested and what we can do to enhance our own immunology, treatment of allergies and enhancement of wellness.  We discussed the role of gut health, the negative impact of inflammation and the key role of food and lifestyle changes to positively enhance life and health span.  Listen to the full podcast here: https://omny.fm/shows/ageless-by-rescu/dr-melanie-wong-mbbs-hons-phd-fracp-frcpa-understaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
