Dr. Matt and Dr. Mike's Medical Podcast

Discover how exercise affects your immune system! The hosts explore the benefits of moderate physical activity while cautioning against the risks of overdoing it. Learn how different types and intensities of exercise can influence immune health, and whether it's safe to work out when you're unwell. Delve into the functions of various immune cells and the body's defense mechanisms, as well as the impact of vaccinations and chronic diseases on immunity. Plus, hear insights on how environmental factors like altitude can shape your immune responses.

In this special episode on exercise physiology, Dr Matt and Dr Mike break down how hormones like adrenaline, growth hormone, cortisol, and others influence which fuels—carbohydrates, fats, or proteins—your body chooses to burn during exercise.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrMattDrMike/Email: admin@drmattdrmike.com.auInstagram: @drmiketodorovicTwitter/ X : @drmiketodorovicTikTok: @dr_mike_todorovic Hosted on Acast.
