The episode of the Huberman Lab podcast out now is with Dr. Max Krummel, who is one of the world's top immunologists. We discussed how your immune system works and how to make it work better. Part of the conversation relates to exciting new findings that memories of particular events involving strong emotions — either negative or positive — can re-create the immune status you held at the time the emotion and memory occurred. With each passing year, we learn more about how the immune system and nervous system interact, and indeed how our thoughts and memories impact immune status. Max is a phenomenal biologist and teacher, and one of the people who developed immunotherapies. He's very candid about multiple issues in public health, very nuanced, and I'm certain this episode will both educate and inform action for many people.
