Why do some patients seem to react to everything? In this episode of In Good Health, I break down the immunology behind histamine overload, mast cell reactivity, chronic congestion, hives, flushing, gut permeability, and why these symptoms are often more connected than they appear. We’ll also cover how to use the CBC more strategically by looking at eosinophils, basophils, and key ratios like neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and lymphocyte-to-monocyte to guide root-cause thinking and next steps.

In this episode of In Good Health, we break down the innate immune system through the lens of a complete blood count (CBC), one of the most underutilized clinical tools in practice.

You’ll learn how to interpret key immune cells including neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and more, not just individually, but as patterns that reveal what the immune system is actually doing.

We also connect immune activity to:

• Chronic stress and cortisol
• Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction
• Allergies, histamine, and hypersensitivity
• Autoimmunity (including early Th17 connections)
• Cancer and viral surveillance via natural killer cells

This episode is especially helpful for practitioners, students, and curious learners who want to better understand CBC patterns, immune balance, and how chronic inflammation can develop from upstream cellular dysfunction.

In this episode, I explain how inflammation progresses after NF-kappa B signaling increases inflammatory cytokines like IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IL-1 beta. I break down the differences between the innate and adaptive immune system. You will learn how cells like neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, macrophages, dendritic cells act as the first responders, and how antigen presentation bridges into the adaptive immune response, and how immune memory is formed.
