Welcome to NHA Today, the official podcast of the National Health Association! 🌱

In this episode, guest host Cyd Notter talks with Dr. James Thompson, retired allergist and immunologist, integrative nutrition coach, and author of Fearless Wellness. Together, they explore how lifestyle and nutrition can build a strong, balanced immune system.

You'll learn:
✅ How the immune system really works—and why 70% of it lives in your gut
✅ The best plant-based foods for immune support and longevity
✅ The connection between gut health, brain function, and inflammation
✅ How lifestyle changes can reduce the need for medications
✅ The "Fearless" eight-pillar model for holistic health

Dr. Thompson also shares his journey from clinical practice to community health education and the mission behind the Healthy Living with a Vision Foundation, which empowers individuals to take control of their health through plant-based nutrition and accessible wellness programs.
