These Days We Could All Use a Little Extra Immune Help. Or Even a Lot…


This book will give you the tools to understand what the latest science tells us about natural interventions to support immune health, and how to make that science part of your everyday life.

You’ll find out:

  • Why simply taking vitamin C isn’t enough to optimize your immune resilience against infectious disease
  • How nutrients and other food compounds provide inputs and direction to your immune system
  • How to boost immune memory naturally
  • The importance of dialing down inflammation for fighting germs and other diseases
  • Which underlying health conditions can derail immune resilience and natural ways to help improve them
  • Surprising immune allies that you can harness to improve immune function
  • What to eat and what not to eat
  • How and when to consider fasting for your immune system
  • Which everyday foods are superfoods for immune health
  • The best supplements to choose for your own unique immune resilience needs
  • How stress and sleep interact with the immune system
  • Which lifestyle habits have been shown to influence immune health
  • How to avoid immune-harming chemicals in your everyday environment
  • What to do when you get sick

Your immune system not only keeps you safe from germs, but it also needs to function well to minimize the risk for allergies, asthma, autoimmunity, cancer, and just about all modern chronic diseases: heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, and depression are just some of the diseases that have been connected with a dysfunctional immune system that produces too much inflammation.

Packed with easy-to-understand scientific connections, quizzes to determine your level of resilience in different areas, a comprehensive food guide, immune superfood recipes, and practical resources, this is…

…your one-stop guide to taking care of your immune system so that it can do its best to take care of you.

What Professionals Are Saying About the Book


Amy Myers

“An accessible and fascinating tour of our immune system, with deeply researched and practical advice that each and every one of us can start implementing into our daily routines today. This book is essential reading.”

Amy Myers, MD, New York Times Bestselling author of The Autoimmune Solution and Thyroid Connection


Kara Fitzgerald

“There are few books on my office shelves that get the kind of love this one is getting: pages turned down, highlighted paragraphs, yellow stickies with notes. Expect to really use this book. Not just to understand the immune system in plain language, but how to nourish it to serve you for a lifetime of good health. My favorite sections include the ready references (the “what to do”) for common immune conditions (from upper respiratory to urinary tract infections) and the well-researched resource section for anything you’ll need immune related. I have worked with Romilly Hodges for years- her ability to make plain and practical tough science is evident in every page.”

“This book couldn’t be more timely: It gives you the tools to better face the inescapable landscape of COVID-19 and other, emerging infectious disease challenges. It is a must read for anyone who wants to have a more robust immune system!“

Susan S. Blum, MD, MPH. Founder and Director Blum Center for Health, Author of The Immune System Recovery Plan.
