Dr. Marsha Seidelman is an Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine physician. She will explain the immune system’s role in protecting against infections and cancer, and the influence of vaccines on our short- and long-term wellbeing. Seidelman will focus on the balancing act between having your immune system ready and willing to fight infections and cancer, but not constantly revved up and causing ongoing generalized inflammation.

Options to improve your ability to fight infections will be presented within the framework of Lifestyle Medicine pillars. These include nutrition, physical activity, sleep, personal interactions, stress
management and avoidance of toxins.

 

OBJECTIVES:
After this program, you will be able to explain:
– What the relationship is between healthy immune function and harmful inflammation.
– How lifestyle measures can be used to boost immunity.
– How to interpret labels on supplements.

Lunch will be served. Valet parking will be available.
