Throughout the pandemic, there has been a question on many of our minds, “does natural immunity still exist?”
In Dr Ron’s conversation with Dr Olivia Lesslar, they discuss the importance of nutrition in developing immunity to disease, what can be done nutritionally, the importance of sleep, the importance of light therapy and so much more.
Dr Olivia Lesslar is a functional medicine practitioner with an interest in complex chronic conditions. She is a concierge medical consultant at LifeSpan Medicine USA.
Welcome to a featured episode of Dr Ron Ehrlich’s Unstress Podcast. This episode features Dr Olivia Lesslar, a conversation about LifeSpan Medicine and Boosting Immune Function.
This topic should be on everybody’s mind, especially since the beginning of this pandemic. The topic is natural immunity.
Yes, natural immunity still exists. Yes, it is still part of the human experience. You may be excused for thinking it’s not because our experts, who are managing this pandemic, say so little about it, so what a wonderful opportunity it is for us all to focus on it. It is still reassuringly very real and all the things that I have learned at university about immune function and in biochemistry and physiology and in immunology and pathology. It’s all still very valuable.
And I make no excuse for exploring this on a recurring theme, particularly in the recent podcast series.
So today we are exploring natural immunity. We’re discussing what can be done nutritionally, what is the importance of sleep. We touch on some really interesting parts about the sun. Priming our skin for sun and learning when the best time is to get all the benefits of exposing ourselves to the sunshine. This is going to be, I think it’s really informative. I learned a lot from this conversation.
My guest is Dr Olivia Lesslar. Olivia is a functional medicine practitioner, is in private practice, and does many of her consultations online. She has many private patients. She has a service, a concierge service, if you like, which just is there for you as a patient to manage your health. And she is a great networker, bringing together many wonderful practitioners that she can draw on.
And I think that is really an important part of being a practitioner — and that is to surround yourself with people who you have confidence in, in the particular expertise, who all have a holistic view on health care and understand how their particular speciality fits into your health as opposed to if your condition doesn’t fit into their interest, then maybe you don’t have the problem or really just go and do something else.
So this is what functional medicine is all about. I’ll let Olivia explain that and define it, but really, it is understanding that there is a lot going on in the human body and we need to respect every part of it. I hope you enjoy this conversation I had with Dr Olivia Lesslar.
