Boost immunity with vitamins by creating your personalized diet and supplement plan. Identify water-soluble B vitamins and vitamin C, vs fat-soluble A, D, E, K, and third-party verification.
Vitamin C boosts immune function by enhancing white blood cell activity, neutrophil chemotaxis, and respiratory burst; learn about dietary reference intakes and bowel-tolerance dosing, infection needs, and absorption factors.
Explore how vitamin B6, B9, and B12 support immune function, highlighting activated forms (P5P, 5-methylfolate, methylcobalamin) and dietary sources, with notes on MTHFR mutations and supplementation doses.
Explore vitamin A, the anti infective fat-soluble vitamin, and how deficiency impairs white blood cells and T cells, while retinal activity equivalents guide intake and cod liver oil provides bioavailability.
Vitamin D supports immune function and reduces infection and autoimmunity risk when adequate, via sun exposure, foods, and supplements with D3; aim 600 IU daily or 2000 IU for maintenance.
Understand vitamin e's immune role; deficiency impairs b and t cell function. Follow a 15 mg daily intake, note rich sources, and that some vegetable oils may raise needs.
Discover immune-boosting foods rich in vitamins c, b, d, e, and a, including broccoli, salmon, clams, and almonds, and learn why absorption, conversion, and animal sources matter.
Assess nutrient status with spectra cell's comprehensive vitamin and mineral test for about $300. Note magnesium is tested by blood level, not red blood cell status, and test has limits.
Encourage learners who found the information valuable to leave a review so others can find this course more easily and benefit from that information.
Identify how being overweight or obese raises the risk of severe covid-19 outcomes, with a London report showing over 70 percent of admitted patients had body mass index above 25.
Calculate your BMI by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared. Classify as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese to estimate your risk for COVID-19 outcomes.
Identify key risk factors such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, lung and kidney conditions, HIV/AIDS, cancer, and immunosuppressive therapy, and take extra precautions to boost immunity against coronavirus.
Trace the animal origin of SARS-CoV-2 and how COVID-19 can progress to pneumonia and ARDS. Review incubation, digestive symptoms, and prevention like hand hygiene and social distancing.
Calculate your daily calorie goal by estimating basal metabolism from weight, height, and age in metric units, then adjust with an activity factor (1.2–1.725) for your lifestyle.
Set a daily calorie goal to balance intake and burn, maintain weight, or create a five hundred calorie deficit per day to lose about one pound per week.
Develop your immune boosting diet by choosing beneficial carbs, fats, and proteins while avoiding immune-suppressing options, and build a science based exercise program with personalized tools.
Are you worried about exposure to new infections that seem to come out of nowhere every once in a while?
Maybe you are in good health, but you are worried about your parents or grandparents contracting a disease. Or you are probably worried about your significant other who has one of the risk factors for worse health outcomes: overweight/obese, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, asthma, lung disease, kidney disease, etc...
That's understandable and that is why I have created this course. In this course, I put together my decades of teaching and working in the health and nutrition field to present you with the knowledge that is so urgent to have during uncertain times.
In this course, you will learn about which vitamins and the foods that are rich in them strengthen your immune system. A lot of "common knowledge" about what is healthy for us does not hold up under scrutiny.
There is so much misinformation about what a healthy diet is that it can be very frustrating for the average person who just wants to improve their health without getting a Ph.D. in the process.
For that reason, I simplify what vitamins are essential for improving our immune system function and which foods can wreak havoc on our physical health.
I also provide you with concise straight-to-the-point explanations for my recommendations.
If you are ready to take back control of your and your loved ones' health, then I will see you on the inside!
In Health,
Dr. Z
