About this listen

"TO AGE WELL, YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS THE KEY PLAYER YOU NEED TO HARNESS. READ THIS GREAT BOOK TO UNDERSTAND HOW." Professor Tim Spector, Author and Nutrition expert at Zoe

From gut health to brain health, inflammation to hormonal shifts, Immune to Age is the ultimate preventative care framework that equips listeners with the knowledge and tools to reclaim control over their health and ensure every year is a good one.

In an era of unprecedented longevity and personalised health information, we have more tools than ever to extend our lives. Yet, despite these advancements, few of us understand the hidden processes that shape our health, leaving many of us struggling to unlock the secrets of staying well and thriving at every life stage.

Long misunderstood as merely the body's first line of defence against disease, we are only now beginning to understand the crucial role that the immune system plays in how we age. This mind-bogglingly complex network - intricately woven throughout our entire being, from brain to big toe - drives everything from metabolic function to brain health, and it is the single greatest arbiter of our lifespan and, more importantly, our healthspan.

In Immune to Age, immunologist Dr Jenna Macciochi blends cutting-edge scientific expertise with beautiful storytelling and actionable advice to explore the importance of good immune health at every stage of life, from conception right through to our wintering years.

This is a paradigm shift in the way we think about time, ageing, and being truly well.

All stars
Most relevant  
Really clear narration, which is important given the complexity of some of the topics. Quite heavy on the science but none the worse for that. I particularly liked the seasons metaphor that runs through the book as it helped emphasise the way the body changes with time. I might well need to listen again to fully embed the information.

Fascinating journey into the complexities of the immune system

This is undoubtedly a well-researched and compelling book, full of fascinating facts that could certainly motivate any forty-something to make serious lifestyle changes.
I bought it with the intention of recommending it to friends, as a sprightly sixty-something who already lives by many of the principles it promotes. However, I’ve deducted two stars from my rating because I was disappointed by the way people in my age group are portrayed.
Despite its many strengths, the book repeatedly refers to later life using imagery like “the bare trees of winter”—language that, at best, irritated me, and at worst, left me feeling unnecessarily bleak.
Yes, we may be in our so-called “winter,” but many of us still have a great deal to give, and we certainly don’t feel like we’re fading into dormancy. A more balanced and respectful tone would have made this an unqualified recommendation.
