Part of our mission is to create relevant, high-quality educational content to support lifestyle medicine practitioners. With a focus on optimizing immune health, these materials serve as foundation resources for use in your Functional (or lifestyle) medicine practice.

The year 2020 has really put a spotlight on the importance of immune resilience. Now, more than ever before, patients have questions, and they’re looking for solutions on what they can do to optimise their immune health. It is with that intention that we’ve created the clinical immune health toolkit.
These materials serve as foundational resources for use in your lifestyle or functional medicine practice. With a focus on optimising immune health, this toolkit has been developed based on relevant scientific literature and clinical application. We hope that you find these tools and resources clinically helpful. Together we can spread the messages about the critical impact of lifestyle on immune health and transform the practice of medicine, one patient at a time. |

Infographic: The Immune ResponseThis document (Infographic – The Immune Response) was adapted from a recent publication in nutrients. We have expanded the content to include phytonutrients as well as therapeutic goals.

The back side of the document also lists the therapeutic goals as well as suggested nutritional bioactive to help you achieve that specific goal.
