287: Five Ways to Boost Your Immunity Through Positive Psychology (Seriously!)
Guess who’s back to chat? That’s right, Serena Marie, RD! This time, though, I’m sharing with her the correlation between positive psychology and boosting immunity. This episode is slightly more experimental, as it was originally recorded as an Instagram Live conversation and saved for the podcast.
During our wide-ranging conversation, we discuss:
How things have been for Serena as an RD in the ICU at a hospital in Brooklyn, NYC
How my family and I have been faring amid the pandemic
Why you shouldn’t compare yourself to another person’s situation
The history of positive psychology and why self-care really is healthcare
How the self-care practices we do affect our emotions and immune system
How having a positive emotional style correlates to a lower risk of developing an upper respiratory illness
