To most of us, the immune system is a mysterious and complex network of cells, receptors and messengers that we only notice when it goes awry. But our immune response, or lack of, affects nearly every aspect of our bodies and our health. Functional medicine doctor and immunity specialist Dr Heather Moday identifies four distinct immunotypes, and helps you find yours: Smouldering: too much inflammation, resulting in diabetes, dementia, heart disease Misguided: an immune system which attacks your own cells and organs, causing autoimmune diseases Hyperactive: overreactive to harmless substances, causing allergies Weak: an immune system that doesn't react fast or effectively enough, causing frequent colds, flu or bronchitis Drawing on a wealth of cutting-edge research, Dr Moday explains that our immune systems are fluid and significantly influenced by our behaviours, diet, habits and environment.
