Enders with Wolf: Why immune health is about balance, not boosting
This episode flips the common 'boost your immune system' framing on its head: the goal is balance, not maximum strength. Symptoms most people fight (fever, runny nose, diarrhea during illness) are framed as the immune system protecting and repairing, not signs of failure. The recommended path is foundational lifestyle (sleep, stress regulation, varied whole-food diet, mixed exercise) rather than supplements aimed at boosting an already-active system.
