Podcast appearances and mentions of jenna macciochi

This episode of High Performance Health is a powerful reminder that the true path to longevity isn’t found in chasing supplement stacks or living to 160—it’s about becoming immune to aging by mastering the fundamentals. Angela sits down with Dr Jenna Macciochi, immunologist, author, and high-performance breathwork coach, to explore how chronic inflammation, lifestyle, mindset, and motherhood all shape our biological age far more than we realize. Dr Jenna's new book Immune to Age presents a revolutionary framework: understanding the immune system as a dynamic force through the seasons of life—from birth to old age. In this heartfelt, science-rich conversation, Jenna and Angela dive into everything from burnout and HRV to intuition, parenting, alcohol, and the myth of the perfect biohacking protocol. This is the longevity conversation every woman needs to hear. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Chronic Inflammation: The Silent Driver of Aging : The immune system's slow burn of inflammation is the root cause behind most chronic diseases and early aging. The Parenting Connection: Children phase-lock to their mother’s HRV—your emotional regulation teaches them how to regulate themselves. Burnout & Intuition: Ignoring your intuition and pushing through stress leads to burnout. Slowing down and listening is the real path to resilience. Longevity Isn’t Just About Data: Healthspan matters more than lifespan. Fancy tests are fun, but it’s the basics—food, movement, sleep, breath—that move the needle. Alcohol, Sleep & Energy: Giving up alcohol even temporarily can have a massive ripple effect on mood, energy, and parenting. Immune System Through the Life Course: From womb to old age, your immune system evolves—and it’s never too early or too late to care for it.

The Immune System is a part of the body that we have all become acute more aware of in the last 2 years so I was thrilled to get Jenna on the podcast as the queen of the immune system to explain the many different facets to this beautiful system and how environmental factors like stress impact it as well as her thoughts on supporting immune functionality. It was such a wonderful conversation, we discussed as working mothers ourselves the personal experience we both have encountered with the natural changes to our hormone levels on immune system and wider health as a whole!

This week's guest is with one of the UK's leading scientists, immunologist Dr. Jenna Macciochi, who is also a mum of twins. This is an incredibly powerful episode about the tension between motherhood and work. So if you have ever felt pulled in multiple directions, then this episode is for you. It is in two halves. The first half is very personal from Dr. Jenna. She shares so courageously and honestly about her experience with burnout and how it was the start of a total realignment of her priorities. I found it incredibly inspiring and thought-provoking. I think you are going to love what Dr. Jenna shares. The second half is from her professional expertise, about winter bugs and what we can all be doing to stay as well as possible this winter. We chat about: What can happen if we don't look after our health The tension between motherhood and work How to use boundaries to reconcile this tension What to do to avoid getting ill this winter What to do if you do get ill And the answer to the question we all are asking: Is it true that we are all going to be more susceptible to winter bugs because we have been in lockdown and isolation? As always, we continue the conversation over on Instagram, so come and join us there.

Almost half of British adults are not aware of  government guidelines and 1-6 adults in the UK have low levels of vitamin D.  Low levels of Vitamin D have been associated with low mood, a poor immune system, increased risk of respiratory infections, COVID-19 and also an increase in all cause mortality.  We've also heard on the other hand that too much vitamin D can cause toxicity - but how strong is the research here?  There is a lot of noise surrounding this vitamin -but what are the true health facts? How much should we be taking and what are our risks with taking too little? In today'd episode I speak to immunologist Dr Jenna Macciochi,  who explains the latest research spanning this vitamin!  Show Notes * Host: @sarahannmacklin | www.sarahannmacklin.com * Be Well Collective: @be_well_collective | www.bewellcollective.co.uk Better You  This weeks podcast is sponsored by Better You * You can use the code BEWELL for free delivery on your vitamin D spray.

I speak with Dr. Macciochi about the foundations of a healthy immune system: personalised nutrition, appropriate physical activity and stress management techniques, and adequate sleep. Note the use of language here - a key theme running through todays conversation is context. Something that is always lacking in conversations around nutrition and lifestyle. Another key theme from today is consistency. We simply have to be consistent in creating health.

In this week's episode of the Friday Five, Liz speaks to Dr Jenna Macciochi, an experienced immunologist and author of Immunity: the science of staying well. They talk about what to eat and how to shake up your lifestyle for long lasting health. They dive into the importance of fibre for our gut health and how this helps immune cells all over the body.

Europa este continentul cel mai puternic afectat de bolile cronice non-contagioase iar creșterea incidenței lor este alarmantă, consideră Organizația Mondială a Sănătății. Aceste boli sunt responsabile pentru 86% dintre decesele din Europa și pentru 77% din costurile directe și indirecte asupra sistemelor medicale și a sănătății publice. Bolile infecțioase afectează în prezent mult mai puțini oameni decât cele netransmisibile. De aceea avem nevoie de schimbarea de mentalitate de la tratarea bolii la îngrijirea personală. Iar aceasta vine cu schimbări ale stilului de viață și mai ales cu conștientizarea faptului că aceste schimbări contribuie la starea de sănătate fizică și mentală și la calitatea vieții. Te invit să afli din acest episod Mind Education Podcast de la Claudia Buneci, health coach că un stil de viață sănătos, în acest context înseamnă mai degrabă armonie și integrare decât renunțare: min. 02:07 - De unde vine jocul de cuvinte ”poftă de viață”? min. 03:25 - Care este legătura dintre bolile cronice, ne-transmisibile și un stil de viață sănătos? min. 10:09 - Este alimentația sănătoasă atât de importantă pentru sănătatea mentală și emoțională? min. 13:09 - Ce înseamnă consum în exces?

Hey there and welcome to the weMove podcast coming live from my living room and the wonders of Zoom whilst we are in this time of isolation.So the last week or so, we have been surrounded by news, news and more news on Covid 19/Coronavirus. I wanted to know more about what we can personally do to regain some control of our Selves whilst the news and media does its best to create increasing levels of fear, panic and hysteria.So I made a few phone calls and extended whatsapp messages to the sources that I trust when I have questions health related, both physical and mental and in this case particularly with regards to how we can optimise our immune system and provide it with the resources to do what it needs to do.Having knowledge that I trust from those who are at the tip of the spear in their fields gives me the opportunity to makes necessary steps forward, I trust you get something from this conversation that can be actionable and timely to support you through this defining era of the new decade.From Chris and me, take care of yourselves and reach out to us if you have any more questions. Peace.

This week I am joined by Immunologist Dr. Jenna Macciochi specialises in understanding how nutrition & lifestyle interact with the immune system in health & disease. She is a Mum of twins and understands the added challenges of parenting when we ourselves are unwell - so it was a pleasure to learn more about what we can do to stay healthy more of the time. Jenna gives detailed insight into the four pillars of immune system health; movement, rest, stress and nutrition. We chat about- - Her path to developing a fascination and career in the field of immunology, and what drives her passion today. - Movement for a healthy immune system, and why it is so important. - Rest and sleep, and why it is so crucial for fighting viruses due to its healing and restorative effects. We discuss the pivotal role of Circadian Rhythms, and how eighty percent of our immune system is under Circadian Rhythm control. - Stress and how it impacts on our immune system, and what we can do to counter stress hormones which make us ill. - Nutrition and the three elements we should focus on for our immune system. Jenna describes why fibre, phytonutrients, and fats are essential to immune health. This episode is supported by MORI - https://babymori.com/ Use code 15OFF50 for £15 off £50.

In episode #7 of The Alex Manos Podcast I speak with Dr. Macciochi on immunity, leaky gut and silent/low-grade inflammation. A key take away from this conversation is around meal frequency and its role in reducing the inflammatory load, something that is becoming increasingly important in the modern world. Dr. Macciochi discusses the role of micronutrients (especially vitamins A & D), and, the role of dietary fibre in supporting a healthy gut-immune system. Dietary fibre increases the production of short chain fatty acids, which help maintain the integrity of the gut barrier, as well as helping regulate T-regulatory cells which help maintain a well regulated immune system as they have been shown to suppress the responses of other immune cells, including those that promote inflammation.
