Episode 033 — Your Immune System Isn’t Overreacting — It’s Overwhelmed
Description
If you’ve been told your immune system is “overreacting,” here’s the reframe: it’s overwhelmed and doing its best.
In this episode, Brandon explains why immune dysregulation is usually a coordination problem—not a willpower problem—and how miscommunication across the gut–liver axis, mitochondria, circadian rhythm, and nervous system keeps you stuck in flares. You’ll learn how to spot immune overload in real life (fatigue, flares, “catching everything,” histamine reactions), why chronic suppression or constant “boosting” backfires, and how to modulate—rebuilding tolerance, calming redox, restoring vagal tone, and supporting autophagy—so your system can resolve inflammation instead of looping.
