Immune Support Diet

Immune Support Diet

The Immune Support Diet is an antioxidant-rich, nutrient-dense plan designed to help strengthen your body’s natural defenses. Because your PlexusDx report highlights specific genetic sensitivities—such as those related to the TLR6 gene which can influence reactions to dairy proteins—this plan is strictly dairy-free to reduce potential inflammatory triggers. It also takes into account genes like IL6 and IL1B, which play central roles in regulating inflammation and immune signaling. By removing common irritants and focusing on whole, unprocessed foods, this approach aims to support a balanced immune response while working in harmony with your unique genetic profile.

Research shows that a well-functioning immune system relies heavily on a consistent intake of specific micronutrients to protect against infection and repair cellular damage. This program is intentionally built around five key nutrients—Vitamin C, Zinc, Vitamin A, Selenium, and Vitamin E—using ingredients chosen to maximize absorption and efficacy.

• Vitamin C: A vital antioxidant for cellular immune defense and recovery. Sources include strawberries, cauliflower, red bell peppers, mango, and grapefruit.
• Zinc: Essential for preventing immune impairment and respiratory risks. You will find it in whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and meat.
• Vitamin A: Critical for cellular response and defense against infectious disease. This plan packs in sweet potato, mango, bell peppers, and dark leafy greens like kale.
• Selenium: Required for the function of almost every arm of the immune system. Sources include sardines, eggs, beef, and oats.
• Vitamin E: A powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage and improves immunity. Included via almond and peanut butter, avocado, and sardines.
