In this 120th episode of Sober Head Podcast, Dr. Esra Çavuşoğlu, PhD speaks with Dr. Jeffrey Bland, PhD.

Dr. Jeffrey Bland, PhD, is a biochemist and educator widely recognized as one of the pioneers of functional medicine. Internationally known for his work on the root causes of chronic disease, nutrition, the immune system, and longevity, he is also the founder of the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM).

Dr. Bland, widely regarded as the father of functional medicine, reveals why the immune system may be one of the most important regulators of aging, metabolism, brain health, and longevity.

We explore immune aging, chronic inflammation, the gut-brain connection, “angry” visceral fat, trauma and immune memory, immunometabolism, polyphenols, dark matter nutrients, and how food may influence gene expression. Can we rejuvenate the immune system and become biologically younger? Dr. Bland shares the science behind a new approach to immunity, resilience, and healthy aging.
