Can you actually boost your immune system? Here's the truth | Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter
Take vitamin C supplements when you feel a cold coming on? The problem is, you can’t actually “strengthen” your immune system, says Dr. Jen Gunter. Diving into the elegant network of cells, tissues and organs that protect us every day, she introduces two kinds of immunity that specialize in recognizing and fighting off bad bacteria, viruses, fungi and toxins — and shares what you can do to keep your immune system healthy.
Think you know how your body works? Think again! Dr. Jen Gunter is here to shake up everything you thought you knew — from how much water you need to drink to how often you need to poop and everything in between. This TED original series will tell you the truth about what’s *really* going on inside you.

I need this to my nasal polyp
Horrible animation
Anyone that says we need a vaccine is just shoving their nose in science. I haven’t had a vaccine in years for anything. And after the first year or so I did get sick quite a bit then finally I only usually get sick maybe 1-2 times every year or two
The boosting immune system mantra is just for pharmaceutical marketing or for food supplements thst basically do nothing. From food we xan get al the necessary vitamins.
I wonder who sponsored this….
drink sewage water for fun
субтитры кривые какие-то
The host is too loud with jokes we want to hear the guest
It’s funny how, even there’s lots of new data supporting what Dr. Jen explains in the video, most people “has to keep believing”, almost religiously, that their vitamin C pills are helping them for a cold.
It’s alarming, how in terms of health, most people behave in a “blind”, “magic”, and obscure way.
ACCURATE INFO, OTHER THAN THE IDIOTIC, ASSININE VACCINE SUGGESTION!
this is ridiculous talking about vaccines , i would never will go to your practice
It was an ad all along 😂
Shut up!!! Should have known!
Вот вы кривлятся любите при разговоре
Nah, she lost me when she said vaccines. I should’ve know there was a hidden agenda to this video. I have experienced the difference in my immune system due to eating a healthier diet, taking certain supplements. So, I can’t totally agree with all she saying.
What a bunch of propaganda
supplements are a multibillion Dollar scam!
My problem is lack of sleep, I skip meals , anxiety, horrible diet & I don’t drink enough water. I also have allergies such has sea food & pollen. I have a history of asthma. I get frequent sinus infections & colds. I also get Acid reflux & IBS symptoms. My stress makes me also not want to eat which is why I lose weight or remain the same weight. A year ago I gained alotbif weight and lost it because I wasn’t happy with my self.
Haaaaaa
😢the weakened pathogen antigen protocol of vaccines is only effective with viruses, it does not effect with the same results with much or even slightly different viruses from the same family or bacteria, especially with the active bacteria that are designed with many disruption processes in their arsenal. That’s when immune boosting and optimizing protocols really have their chance to shine and do their best work. Take care of yourselves and don’t rely on external medicine as much as you can; the keys to the universe are said to be contained in the breath. So breathe easy and be well. ❤
When you mentioned the Flu vaccines , I knew that what you are saying is pure BS , and crap 👊🏾👎👎👎👎
Yeah I’m gonna go ahead and say I had chronic upper respiratory infections and frequent sickness until I started eating Whole Foods. Lots of fruits and veg. I was sick every 1-2mo. I stayed well for almost a year til I fell off. Not to mention there are more in plants than just vitamins. So take out of that what you will.
I believed everything you said until you got to vaccines. Now I don’t believe and single word. Way to ruin it.
You lost me at take the vaccines 😭 but technically that is the only medication that can work but i think I’ll stick to a healthy diet, exercise,prayer, meditation and sleep.
Correct but the Covid vaccines are NOT licensed vaccines!
And the way companies make vaccines now can NOT be trusted anymore! 😢😢😢
I’m a massage therapist and I started taking glucosamine and magnesium when I started getting joint pain in my hands…..I’m wondering if it’s a good idea now? Am I just pissing away these supplements?
i just don’t wanna get freshers flu when i get to uni
F you for wasting 5 minutes of my life. There’s not a vaccine for everything. Give us information we can work with not waste my damn time.
Stay away from stress don’t take life too seriously 😐
so from what ive gathered by reading comments and other articles..
1. eat fruit and veg (i do)
2. dont smoke (i dont)
3. get a vaccine (not gonna happen)
4. sleep (as is any of us can do that)
5. drink water (all i ever do is drink water and my immune system sucks)
6. excericse (i do and my immune system still sucks)
7. dont stress (you really think thats possible in todays society?)
8. check for deficiencies (i have done many times and drs say im fine)
all this advice is pointless, where and how can i get a euthenasia done plz.. im sick of feeling and being sick all the time, theirs no way out of it, im done
How about green tea apple cider vinegar and pure honey can help
You lost me at Vaccines!! Too bad…
You lost me at "vaccines".
It is a propaganda video trying to diminishih humans abilities to do things to support their immune system by healthy habits and pushing vaccines instead.
What, the answer to help the immune system is “vaccin”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I‘m feeling sick right now. I have a sore throat.
"Elderberry syrup, vitamin c tablets" are you in my mom’s house?
thank you very much sir .very nice explanation.sir , you can also try immuno plan syp of planet ayurveda
Nice vaccine commercial…
The only really way to "boost" your immune system is vaccines. Gives the weakened virus or bacteria the adaptive immune system chance to produce memory cells. it’s that or get an illness and have your immune system attack the pathogen. Other than that, keep it normal. Have a good diet. Sleep. Keep your stress down.
Thank you, Dr Gunter, very much appreciated.
So, let me get this straight, don’t self medicate with home grown herbal supplements but take bioengineered vaccines. Gotcha. 🤦🏻♂️
last time I ever listen or watch a TYED vid ..anybody that recommends vaxx is ignoring the science and the excess deaths raging across the world
This is great government propaganda> I congratulate you on a fine performance
If getting all your nutrition helps, then it is possible to boost your immune system.
She lost me with vaccines, especially if she’s recommending the c- jab.
I was on board until she told us how great vaccines were for your immune system.
What an actual waste of time to lead into vaccines at the end.
How about probiotics and the microbiome?
Not very helpful, sounds like she is just defining immunity. When someone wants to understand their immune system better, they usually aren’t looking for such basic information. I think it’s a great video, just mis-titled.
