We are surrounded by bold claims and quick fixes for 'boosting' our immune health. In this expert guide, leading immunologist Daniel M. Davis sorts the fact from the fiction.

- Is mental health really connected to inflammation?
How do we separate the bogus claims from the useful advice? And given its sheer complexity, is there anything we can do to improve our immune system?
World-renowned immunologist Daniel M. Davis examines the effects of stress, diet, age, exercise, the microbiome and more on the immune system, punctures the key myths, and equips us to make informed choices for ourselves.
