Being in balance with nature is an essential element for immune system function. An individual can harmonize with natural rhythms and biomes through plant communication, often referred to as xenohormesis. In this presentation, the emerging molecular and clinical science of plants and their phytonutrients will be discussed relative to their effects on the immune system, along with the practical application of foods, dietary supplements, assessments, and tools for clients to implement a nature-based, plant-enriched life.

Learning Objectives:

• To identify at least three nutrients implicated in immune function and their food sources
• To understand the scientific research of a plant-rich diet for immune health
• To assess whether a client is maximizing nutrient density in their diet
• To connect researched food and lifestyle strategies for immune health
