Building Longevity Through Immune Health with Beta Glucan | Jill Carnahan, MD

In this episode of the Innovations and Clinical Implementation podcast, hosts Jessica Carter and Dr. Chris D'Adamo interview Dr. Jill Carnahan, a functional medicine physician internationally recognized for treating complex chronic illnesses, about the critical role of beta glucans in immune resilience – which she champions as the foundation of longevity. Dr. Carnahan, discusses the importance of using high-purity beta glucans, profiling BWH Labs' flagship product, and details their use in treating complex conditions like Lyme disease, Bartonella, and cancer where the immune system is often suppressed. The conversation also covers emerging research linking beta-glucan supplementation to improved mental health scores (anxiety and depression) and its mechanism as a binder in detoxification pathways for removing environmental toxins. Finally, Dr. Carnahan underscores that while lifestyle factors like sleep and movement are foundational, beta-glucans serve as a crucial tool for "waking up" sluggish T-cells and Natural Killer cells to fight aging and chronic illness.
