Presentation Description:
Aging is a multi-faceted process involving numerous molecular and cellular mechanisms that impact multiple organ systems. The effects of aging on the immune system manifest as a decreased ability to fight infection, diminished response to vaccination, increased incidence of cancer, higher prevalence of autoimmunity, and pervasive low-grade inflammation. Building and maintaining robust immunity and resilience requires an understanding of the mechanisms and Hallmarks of Aging, immuno-senescence, and inflammation, as well as targeted lifestyle, dietary, nutraceutical, and botanical interventions that contribute to both increased lifespan and health span. An overview of the Golden Pearls of Longevity from Traditional and Modern Chinese Medicine will also be included in our discussion.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the Hallmarks of Aging
• Define Immune Aging and Immuno-senescence
• Define Immune Resilience and Immune Restoration
• Understand Six Key Biological Mechanisms that influence Immune Aging
• Understand the use of nutraceuticals, botanicals, and phytochemicals that promote immune resilience and immune restoration
