And so now, you're cleaning your metabolic waste products much more efficiently and they become the building blocks. This is mitochondrial biogenesis, and that means newer, healthy mitochondria coming in.”</p><p>This new conversation takes an exciting turn into immunity and your immune system’s two lines of defense: innate and adaptive.&nbsp;You’ll learn:</p><ul><li>how inflammation plus aging (AKA inflammaging) contributes to a weakened immune system and a growing incidence of cancer as you age;</li><li>how inflammaging and cancer are connected to mitochondrial dysfunction specifically during the aging process; and</li><li>how to approach your immune health differently with this new knowledge.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>A&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cell.com/immunity/fulltext/S1074-7613(22)00508-8?rss=yes&amp;utm_source=dlvr.it&amp;utm_medium=twitter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">new study</a>&nbsp;recently published in&nbsp;<em>Immunity</em>&nbsp;looks at how immune cells fight cancer better with a focus on immune modulation, immune cell exhaustion and immune responses. “A lot of urolithin A is anti-inflammatory, but a lot of it is immune modulation," Dr. Singh says. "So, it takes a rewiring of the immune system and makes it more conducive to stopping harmful immune responses.”</p><p><strong>Watch this episode on&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://youtu.be/-Jd7ci3eEoI" rel=
