Most replayed moment: Can you really boost your immune system? | Professor Daniel Davis25 aug16 min

Today we’re talking about the immune system.

It’s one of the most important systems in our body, yet it’s also one of the hardest to understand. You can’t see it, you can’t feel it working, and there’s no simple way to measure whether it’s strong or weak.

But when it fails, we certainly notice.

Professor Daniel Davis joins me to explain how our immune system truly works, and what the evidence says is the best ways to support it.
