Immunology: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of the Immune Response. (Can We Have Too Much of a Good Thing?)

Live Webinar: Thursday, December 11, 3 - 4 pm

This talk will provide background on cytokine storm—a perfect storm involving a physiological component (negative energy balance) along with microbiome changes in the gut (diet change), leading to severe respiratory disease. Ultimately, it affects inflammatory pathways, resulting in increased disease severity. We'll discuss what can be done to improve mucosal barriers and explore the roles of stressors and leaky gut.
