This book is my first introduction to Heather Moday， but I really like her and this book！ Moday is an immunologist who also has training in functional medicine， thus， she doesn't just push prescription medicine down her clients' throats but looks for the root cause。 The book brings up covid a lot since more people have become interested in the immune system and try to "boost" their immune system。 When I hear the later， I typically chuckle to myself， because you only want to boost your immune sys This book is my first introduction to Heather Moday， but I really like her and this book！ Moday is an immunologist who also has training in functional medicine， thus， she doesn't just push prescription medicine down her clients' throats but looks for the root cause。 The book brings up covid a lot since more people have become interested in the immune system and try to "boost" their immune system。 When I hear the later， I typically chuckle to myself， because you only want to boost your immune system if it is depressed， but there are so many other issues that could be negatively affecting the immune system， besides being low。 That is the core focus of Moday's book and she separates these states into immunotypes: Smoldering， Misguided， Hyperactive， and Weak。 She has quizzes to help the reader identify which type they may be， but also lists blood tests you can get， if desired， to help identify the correct immunotype。 A person can have more than one， but one is typically more dominant， and getting blood tests is not necessary with how detailed each category is。 There is a lot of overlap on specific healthy lifestyles habits balancing all of the immunotypes， as it really is about balance， not necessarily boosting。 She mainly promotes lifestyle habits that improve overall immune health， though she does list specific supplements for the different immunotypes if the reader would like a little extra targeted immune help。 I love that Moday gave a nice background on immunology before ever diving into the immunotypes。 She discusses the innate and adaptive immune system and helps the reader understand how much control the typical person has over those through their daily choices。 By giving the background， she is able to discuss what goes wrong with each immunotype on a biological level and why specific activities or supplements help balance the immune system and get things back in optimal order。 It was very much like a nostalgic trip in time back to my favorite college microbiology textbook。 Very readable and enjoyable （to me！）。 So those who love the subject will likely especially enjoy this book， but those without background in the field， who just like to balance their immune system， should also find this book informative。 。。。more

This book is a MUST for anyone who wants to understand the why and how of their bodies and chronic disease。 As a fellow Integrative Medicine doctor， I’m impressed with Dr。 Moday’s philosophy of the four immunotypes and how she explains the complex immune system in such an approachable way。 One of my favorite books this year as a doctor and as a patient。

This is such a brilliant way to look at immune issues and I really enjoyed this book。 The author is a immunologist， allergist and functional medicine doctor and she describes the four types of immune issues -- weak， overactive， smoldering and misguided。 She provides a very detailed look at all of the parts of the immune system and then describes the four types （with a quiz to help） and what causes them。 Then she talks about what specific steps can help correct each type。 Some things help all typ This is such a brilliant way to look at immune issues and I really enjoyed this book。 The author is a immunologist， allergist and functional medicine doctor and she describes the four types of immune issues -- weak， overactive， smoldering and misguided。 She provides a very detailed look at all of the parts of the immune system and then describes the four types （with a quiz to help） and what causes them。 Then she talks about what specific steps can help correct each type。 Some things help all types， like getting enough sleep （crucial） and the right foods。 Other things are especially helpful for each type。 She discusses supplements， foods， lifestyle changes and much more that help correct each type of imbalance。 It's heavy on science but also gives you easy takeaways anyone can understand。 She's also encouraging and optimistic， talking about patients she's treated who have reversed their issues and reminding the reader that our bodies are designed to do this and can。 A great read。I read a digital ARC of this book for review。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

This was a decent introduction to the human immune system and various ‘immunotypes，’ but I have to say that I didn’t find the breakthrough I was expecting from the title。 Everything was information I’ve read before， and I feel it oversimplifies many conditions and reasons for immune dysfunction or chronic inflammation。 It’s a good starter for someone living a fairly toxic lifestyle who doesn’t know where to begin with changing aspects of their diet， household products， and routines。 Thank you to This was a decent introduction to the human immune system and various ‘immunotypes，’ but I have to say that I didn’t find the breakthrough I was expecting from the title。 Everything was information I’ve read before， and I feel it oversimplifies many conditions and reasons for immune dysfunction or chronic inflammation。 It’s a good starter for someone living a fairly toxic lifestyle who doesn’t know where to begin with changing aspects of their diet， household products， and routines。 Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book。 。。。more
