  3.5- Valuable info, however very difficult to get through if you don’t have a strong science/ background in healthcare. Would love a version of this book written in more layman’s terminology.

  This book is a MUST READ for everyone, especially while navigating a pandemic. Regardless of your opinions/decisions surrounding current treatments/prevention for viruses, this book will teach you how to care for your body and support your immune system which is crucial for everyone. From explaining how the immune system works, to giving advice for nutrition, supplements, exercise, and sleep improvement, this book is a helpful tool that I will likely be referring back to on a regular basis. (Don't let the length be intimidating - the final 180 pages are all references.)

  Excellent holistic book on the human immunity. A lot of science involved. Average level of depth, but quite good reasoning and comprehensive explanation. Highly recommended!

  This is a terrible book.
  I have a degree in biochemistry (specialising in immunology), a PhD in molecular cancer, I am a qualified medical doctor with a specialisation in cellular pathology and in my non professional life have an obsession with holistic lifestyle improvements so I feel qualified to offer judgement on this book.
  In fact I read it for that reason (noticing online that fellow yoga practitioners were reading it), I was interested in what lay people are reading from a YouTuber (and pharmacologist) writing a book about immunity.
  It lists reams and reams of molecular interactions and lists of how the immune system works (but gets basic things wrong like how and why the thymus involutes with age), it offers countless studies in cell lines and mice and equated it directly with how human physiology works (step too far) and basically in term of assisting people with lifestyle choices only serves as a stress inducer in my opinion.
  The strong point is the first chapter which illustrates previous pandemic in history, interesting for people who don’t know about this.
  If the message is eat well (whole foods), sleep well, exercise regularly, decrease stress and enjoy a sauna or cold water if you enjoy that, then I think the format of this book is far from motivational. (My take is that probably causes people to gets extra stressed about how their immune system is working).
  If you want to learn about molecular immunology (or physiology, or medical illnesses, (all fascinating topics for sure, I love this) - better choose a text book which will definitely make it more of a coherent story.

  What I really love about this book is that the authors took all the science and explained it in terms we normal people can understand. There's definitely science and biology in the book, but it's explained in terms I could easily follow and with over 2000 references provided, I can jump to those references and dig into the data even more if I choose. The book begins with a little history lesson from the past, things learned, and then moves to current times and the COVID-19 pandemic. The book is a comprehensive guide on becoming a healthy human being and optimizing your biology to fight against and protect itself in a world filled with viruses and bacteria.
  
  Simply put... this is a manual to be a healthy human being and fortify your immune system to protect your health.

  5/5. Leave all your preconceptions about immunity at the door.
  
  James DiNicolantonio’s books are meticulously researched with a ton of take-aways. I’ve read all of his previous books (The Salt Fix, Longevity Solution, and Superfuel) and still found he explored areas he hasn’t covered before.
  
  I listened to the audiobook and will likely purchase the hardcover to reference back in the future.
  
  Highly recommended.

  A very thorough and comprehensive view of how to augment and fortify the immune system; lots of clear clinical advice, irrespective of current virus concerns, which provide an authoritative explanation of how the body works and reacts to different stimulae, together with the benefits of appropriate supplementation.

  A very good book with plenty of good advice for how to improve your immune system and general well-being.
  Very science heavy in parts and if you're not entirely au fait with biochemistry, these parts may go over your head. A good job is done explaining each process for the layman though.

  So many good and informative nuggets of info here. And most effective are the things we’ve heard all of our lives: get good sleep, eat fruits and veggies, get enough exercise, and get outdoors. We can be healthy if we are intentional about how we live!

  Listened on audible- wish it came with a pdf.

  Not for those without science backgrounds. But it was very interesting for me since I have a background in science.

  Lots of great info here! It would definitely help if you had a science background for parts of it but there is still a lot that the rest of us can implement into our daily lives.

  This wasn't bad. Again I have to question some of the science behind his suppositions. But he presents the argument in a concise and straightforward manner that is easy to understand.

  1️⃣ Lifestyle is a key for strong immunity
  2️⃣ Fasting can be beneficial, but not during sickness
  3️⃣ Sleep is a fundament
