StemCell Therapy

The immune system. Nutritional Therapist Maxine Johnson explains it as A very complex system that is made of multiple sub-systems containing: the innate immune system (the one you were born with), the acquired/adaptive immune system (remembers and catalogues pathogen exposure), the lymphatic system (re-circulation and waste disposal), the gut biome with trillions of beneficial bacteria, the virome containing trillions of viruses in us and on us, and the gut brain axis.

If youre thinking that sounds like a lot, youre not alone. In her nutritional therapy practice, TempleFit, in Olympia she helps you make sense of the bodys complex systems and can help you bring them to optimal health, holistically, through a whole foods diet and exercise, among other things.

Nutritional therapy is part of the growing field of alternative medicine, says Maxine. Like acupuncture, naturopathy, chiropractic, and biofeedback, it is holistic in nature, meaning that the whole body is acknowledged while supporting the strengths and strengthening the weaknesses rather than just chasing symptoms.

Nutritional Therapy protocols were developed from the work of pioneer thinkers and practitioners of the past century, such as Dr. Royal Lee, Dr. Weston A. Price, and Dr. Frances Pottenger. Maxines own work includes her certification as a nutritional therapist, and NRT Practitioner, but also as a fitness trainer and coach. Her extensive background of over three decades in fitness, and as a former NPC Figure Champion, uniquely positions her to have a deep understanding of diet and exercise.

The body knows full well how to protect itself, she says. It just needs you to give it the tools to do it with. However, when its weakened, it will continue to respond to invader viruses and bacteria, but the problem here is that it will often over-react, attacking healthy tissue anywhere that it thinks its finding pieces of the invader. Maxine says. Whether caused by genetics, epigenetics, nutritional deficiencies from eating fake food most of your life, too much sugar, some other underlying health condition, or your age, all of those factors can compromise your immune system.

She further reports that As we age, our thyroids dont produce enough vitamin A, which acts like a hormone and literally builds walls around our cells to protect them from invaders trying to get in. Additionally, if youre not getting enough vitamin D from the sun (best source), or fish fat, your body is not able to create cathelicidins which are like little bullets that blow holes in viruses and destroys them.

Fortunately, there are many ways to support this very complex and vital system. Maxine gives her best tips for supporting our immune systems:

Life is stressful. If you need help getting on track, staying on track, losing weight, or you have an underlying health condition that wont go away, contact Maxine at TempleFit. She is now providing virtual visits for long distance clients, and those who cannot make it to the office.

Your body is your temple, Maxine says, Keep it fit for life.
