Your 5 Immune Systems: A New Way to Think About Resilience
More Than Protection — These Systems Feed, Regulate, and Balance You
Your 5 Immune Systems: A New Way to Think About Resilience
Did you know?
Your immune system isn’t just one thing — it’s actually a network of five distinct systems working together to nourish, regulate, and protect your entire being.
Most of us think of immunity as a physical defense — like an army that fights off illness or invaders.
But true immunity is far more intelligent, subtle, and expansive.
It’s not just about protection.
It’s about nourishment, communication, adaptation, and resilience — across your body, your emotions, your thoughts, and even your surroundings.
Whether you’re…
• Supporting a child’s immune system
• Navigating chronic stress
• Training as an athlete
• Healing from illness or injury
…these five systems are always responding — not just to what you take, but to how you think, how you move, who you’re surrounded by, and the environment you create.
