The Immunotype Breakthrough

Your Personalized Plan to Balance Your Immune System, Optimize Health, and Build Lifelong Resilience

By: Heather Moday MD MD

Narrated by: Heather Moday MD MD, Tanya Eby

A respected immunologist, allergist, and functional medicine doctor breaks down the latest science on immunity, offering a program to help you identify your unique immunotype and balance your system for optimal health and longevity.

To most of us, the immune system is seemingly unknowable—it's an invisible, complex network of cells, receptors, and messengers, and there's no standard way to see if it's functioning as it should. Yet in spite of this, it affects every aspect of our health, influencing (and sometimes even causing) nearly every disease known to humanity. Much has been made about “boosting” immunity, but what exactly does that mean, and what if boosting isn't really what your unique system needs?

In The Immunotype Breakthrough, Dr. Heather Moday explains that for most, immune system balance is key. Drawing on a wealth of cutting edge research and fascinating case studies, Dr. Moday explains that the immune system is fluid and significantly influenced by our behaviors, diet, habits, and environment. She identifies four primary Immunotypes—Smoldering, Weak, Hyperactive, and Misguided—that underlie the immune imbalances that commonly lead to disease, chronic inflammation, infection, allergies, and autoimmunity. By identifying your personal immunotype—where you fall on this immunity spectrum—you can intervene by making focused, individualized, natural lifestyle changes to ensure it functions optimally

Featuring engaging and accessible science, practical and customizable takeaways, and interactive quizzes to help you zero in on your specific needs, The Immunotype Breakthrough is a revolutionary program for creating an individualized lifestyle and diet that will lead to immune resilience, vitality, and longevity.

Highly informative and well written

Dr Moday does a fantastic job of connecting scientific systems to our bodies in lay person language. I learned more about immunology in this book more than I remember in any of my college classes. Great read for the curious!

Automated voice

I had to return this book. It's difficult to say how good the content is because they use an AI voice system. A real person reading would have made this a much better listen.

Great recap and information for those with Immune problems

Wish I had this book 9 years ago, when I started having issues with my health and my doctors failed to diagnose me with Hashimoto Thyroditis. Of all the books I’ve read/listened to on Hashimoto, this book gave me best way to focus my treatment outside the drugs I now take. Looking forward to implementing a lot of the new info into my diet and day to day practice.

Very general, bad narratation

Too general so if you read health books before, you won't learn something new in here. Too many facts without providing the research info. Half of the book is focused on convince you to take supplements which has proven to be ineffective in so many studies. The author is doing the book audio sample but the book itself is read by an annoying narrator
