My Immunity Masterclass - Bulletproof your Immunity by Dr. Priti Nanda Sibal

We are all set, and I'm very, very excited to have you guys here spending this next 1 hour with me and trying to talk about what is immunity and what can we do about it. Great, so it's 5 and we can start. Good evening everyone and welcome to this immunity masterclass. So for those of you, you know, who are joining us for the first time, let me just start by telling something about myself. So I am a medical doctor from Amritsar Medical College, 1989 batch. And almost now 30 years into practice. And I have recently completed my anti-aging and regenerative medicine fellowship from US. 5 years back, I started this initiative wherein I decided that I want to do something for the community, something different, something worthwhile. And I really want to acknowledge and thank all of you who are live today with me to— for giving me this opportunity to be able to do this. I will switch off my video so that, you know, you get better slide view, and we will switch it on when we come to Q&A session. Perfect. And please— hi, Madanjit! Perfect. So can you guess which one of these is me? 1, 2, or 3? Please let me know which one of these is me in the chat box, please. Avantika says too. What, what, what do all you, all of you say? Please quickly tell me. Impact of millet. Okay, second one, second one. We have 26 people online and I've got 6 answers. I really need more energy, more energy please. And I'm making sure that everyone is awake, everyone is excited as I am. Perfect. So 2 yes. And you know When was this clicked? Do you want me to share that with you? So this was when I was doing my MBA, right? And I was organizing farewell party for my senior batch, and we did this, you know, we are ready to make a difference. I think this was 2012, and that is when it started tickling in my mind that I have to make a difference. And thank you everybody for helping me do that and giving me this opportunity. Great. So you know, the data today says that 12% obese Americans are healthy. How many? Only 12. And it was 25% before, but now data is saying that 40% thin Americans are unhealthy. So what do you think the status of Indians would be? How many Indians would be healthy? How many would be unhealthy? It's almost same number. And why I'm saying that is because now studies are showing that we are even becoming unhealthier than Americans, right? Now what does this tell us? This tells us that we all have really messed up with our immune system. Yeah, today morning somebody was asking me, ma'am, This patient is telling you that her migraine has got relieved. You know, she did not have migraine this summer. But we are talking about immunity. So what is immunity? So, you know, I have a story around this. If you want me to share that story, please type yes in the chat box. Wow, so you know, when universe, God Almighty, whosoever we believe in created human beings. What happened? We are the most precious creation of the Almighty. Yes. Yeah. Now when he created us, he realized that when everything will be going good, it would be okay. But if something happens, then what would I do if my— this best creation gets infected? How will this creation come out of it or save itself? So as countries have armies to protect us, because somebody is there on the borders to save the country, we are able to, you know, sleep safely in our houses and enjoy life. Yes, similarly, the Almighty gave us a very, very powerful army within our body. This army consists of cells like lymphocytes, monocytes, natural killer cells, And interestingly, you know, this comes— any one of us who has got our blood test done or hemoglobin checked anytime in our lifetime, there are certain other cells also written there which we ignore and which we don't see, but those give us a great indication of what is the status of our immunity. So God gave us this army and said, now you are fine, You will be taken care of. This army is going to take care of. Then what happened? You know how much our army works every day, even if there are no fights going on. They have a rigorous routine. They follow a diet plan. They follow an exercise regime. They sleep on time, and the environment is such that they are able to manage their stress to a large extent. Right? So similarly, for our immune system to stay healthy, we were also supposed to do all these things. But as we are we, human beings, we messed that up and we stopped taking care of our army, our immune system. And therefore, today if we see Most of us have a compromised immune system, right? So guys, if you have your workbook with you which I had sent you, or if you have a diary and a pen, please list any health symptoms which you have experienced in the last 1 month. Anything like headache, like cold, like sinus problem, Or if you are a diabetic, hypertensive, kidney stones, any health problem you know of, please write on your pen and paper or on the workbook which he had shared with you. Thank you, Dr. Mahajan. It's a pleasure to have you online. Now I hope all of you have written because we will require it later. I think you don't have to make any guesses. You know who I am. I am the one on the left side, big fat, you know, 87 kgs woman. And this was me in 2012 when I decided I want to make a difference. Yeah, please, sciatica also. So what do you think my sheet looked like at this time when I was like this? I had cervical, I had diabetes, I had mild hypothyroidism, I had migraine almost, you know, 2-3 days a week. And Astha is online, and I don't know whether Astha remembers or not, quite a lot of days I used to be with my half head This thing that, yes, energetic, yes, that's always stayed with me. But then what happened? I did something, and this is me now. Yeah, mood swings is also a sign of weakened immune system, Indu. Now, if you like this transformation, can please give me a big thumbs up in the chat box? So I am no more a diabetic, no more a hypothyroid, no more obese. I don't have migraine headaches, and life is so different that I sometimes wonder if I could have done this before. So I have a poll for you guys. Do you agree that my immune system is working better now? Yes or no? And I will share, publish the results of this poll. So all of you, please, we are 56 people online. Special thanks to all of you for taking out the time to come online with us. I've shared a poll with you. Please, do you agree that my immune system is working better now after this transformation? Yes or no? Do you agree that my immune system is working better now? Wow, 100% people, yes! Amazing! So all of you can clap for your own self because we know that, you know, immune system improves When we work on our health. Perfect. I don't know whether you know or not, but these were secrets which were revealed to me, you know. In the last 3-4 months, I think we have talked about immune system so much as we had not talked about in the last 40-50 years. Yes or no, right? But I think two things which we have not talked about 2 things we've not talked about is one, impact of air pollution on our immune system. Yes, 2.5-micron-sized cyanide particles are there, and they are just 2.5 microns. And there is lead in air pollutants. And what is this doing? This is increasing the toxins present in our body. The second thing which people are not talking about is glyphosate. In 1960, this product was introduced as pesticides, thought that it was safe, but In 1996, it was found that glyphosate is riskier than any, any, any other pesticide ever used. And why was that? Because glyphosate— by the time we eat food in which glyphosate has been used It goes from our mouth to the stomach, and till then the whole esophagus is already burnt. In fact, you know what happened? In fact, what happened was that I was traveling to US to give my exams, and I met the senior most, the founder of that university. And I told her I've written a book, What Doctors Should Know About Diabetes Reversal. And what happened? She said, Preeti, and please talk about glyphosate there, because glyphosate is one of the reasons— important, important, important reasons for India becoming the diabetic capital and then the cardiac capital. Because we all know Fatty liver leads to diabetes, and 99% cases of cancer, insulin resistance and diabetes is found. So I can't harp on this enough, that pesticides are real killers of our immune system, and air pollution adds to that, right? So if you agree with me on this, please give me a yes in the chat box. So Harvard did a study and they found that diabetics and obese people have 20 times more chances to get infected seriously, right? Now when they talk about diabetes and obesity, let me tell you, friends, it's not only diabetes and obesity. It's all diseases which we are suffering from today, right? And let's see what we can see here. But before that, I want to give you a small link. Am I audible, please? Am I audible? I think some people are giving me a message I'm not audible, so please let me know if I'm audible. Great. So I am sharing a link with all of you. And I will want you to— oh wow, you lost me for a minute, but we are here. Perfect. So let's see what coronavirus says when it wants to decide whether it should enter our body or not. Yes, coronavirus looks at our immune system And look at this picture. This is coronavirus. And once coronavirus finds that, you know, this body's immune system is compromised, it just jumps and says, wow, this is going to be my new home. So if you want to be your new home, please give me a yes in the chat box, otherwise write no. If you want coronavirus to be your new home, give me a yes in the chat box. I've only got one yes and no nos till now. So if you don't want corona to be your, your body to be corona's home, give me a no. Yes, I want no from every, every, everybody. We are 72 people online, so I want 72 nos here. How many nos? 72 nos. I have not got 72 yet. But I've got a lot. So please, others who are not sleeping and are waiting for something, give me a no here. We are 74, and I'm waiting for 74 nos because I know if you are here, you are here so that corona doesn't become your home or my home. Yes or no? Yes, and that is the reason. Wow, wow, wow! So let's see what happens. Can you guess what— which is the story I'm going to share with you here? Can you guess which is the story I'm going to share? Sheetal can guess. She tells, send me in the chat box which is the story, because I thought this was just like coronavirus. So what is the story? Perfect! Yes, Neelam. But let's see how I think that, you know, it is, uh, Like this. It's not Snow White and Seven Dwarfs. This was to confuse you. This is the Sleeping Beauty. Now let's look at this story. Now there was this king and queen who had one daughter. Now the daughter was very pampered and she turned 18 years. When she turned 18, what happened? All these fairies were invited, but one bad fairy was not invited. So all the fairies gave this princess lot of blessings, but that bad fairy also walked in the party and gave a bad blessing, said you will be hit by a needle and you will be dead till a prince comes and wakes you up. So what happened? As protective parents, The king and queen, they threw away all the needles and their sewing machines from the palace. This princess kept on growing. She was very happy. But one day in the palace, she found a room. She entered and there were lots of sewing machines there, right? Now when there were lots of sewing machines there, she got hit by a sewing machine and She became— she fell down and she was no more alive. The parents, king and queen, couldn't believe it. They went into a shock and they died. After many years, when the palace was very unkempt, a prince came and thought, let me see what is this place which is so unkempt. Came inside, saw the princess, kissed the princess, and the princess woke up. Right now, how is it that I thought this is relatable to corona and to immunity? We had become very used to a very comfortable, luxurious life. We all were having fun, yes or no? Yes, right? Now, when we all were having fun, suddenly corona came like a bad witch and said, I'm gonna set all of you right. Yes or no? Yes. So once this happened, then what happened? Corona said, okay, we knew that there is a prince which will come and will be able to wake us up. So who is that prince? That prince is our own immune system, guys. That is our own immune system. So here I want all of you, I've shared a link in the chat box. Can all of you see that? Please copy it and click on that link. It will take 1 minute and let's check what is your score and type your score here. Yes, that's an immune system, very right. So please type your score. I've shared a form with you. It's gonna take you 1 minute only. Okay, I'm sending it again. Asta, yes, if you can click on the link here only, that will be great. Otherwise you will have to type it. Sorry, I have not done a Bitly for this, but I'm sure you will be able to do it. In the chat box. Link is in the chat box, Angel. Please see my message. Can you see? Fow. Thanks, Amanth. So you've got the link. A lot of people are saying no. Why? It was just— yeah, so Aviral has posted it again, please. Perfect. So if you guys have done it, perfect. And if you have not, we can do it later, no worries. So please take out your pen and paper and just write what are your current behaviors in terms of diet, sleep, stress.

We will see that in the coming slides. Just spend 2 minutes. And write your current behaviors, and let's see where we should be. So I am going to send you a sticky message. I've posted a sticky message, and I'm also sharing a link in the chat box. Can you guys See the link in the chat box. A second link for you guys, please. Perfect. So the second link, please click, and you have a nutritional checklist. So let's see if your current behavior when it comes to nutrition is perfect or we have to improve on it. Take 2 minutes, guys, because you know whatever you will do yourself, you will remember it. Take 2 minutes and please very carefully do this, because we know a lot, but implementing it in our life is what becomes a challenge at times. Right, perfect. So guys, if you have not been able to do it, you can do it later. Just check if you're doing all of this. We are perfect, so we can clap. And if there is anything in this list which you are currently not cautiously doing, please add that. Aastha, click in— click on Vibhuti's link. I think Vibhuti has also posted again. I've marked it as chat. Perfect. Yes. Now once nutrition is taken care of, what are the other things which we need to take care? Sleep. Sleep is our biggest asset, friends. Why? Because sleep is the time when our body recovers and recoups. What does it do? It recovers and regenerates. And if you look at these pictures, none of them is sleeping properly. First one is sleeping with the phone. EMF radiations are very, very harmful. The second one is sleeping with lights on. You need dark room so that melatonin, which is an anti-aging hormone and which helps us sleep, gets secreted. She is not able to sleep and she is— he's sleeping with an open mouth. And of course, G-BOMBS is a simple way that you can remember what are the things you should have in your diet. Greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries, and seeds. Please make sure that you have this poster in your kitchen and everybody sees it and knows that this is what they must eat every day. Now friends, very, very interesting is sun and vitamin D. Most, most, most important. I cannot emphasize it enough that all of us need supplementation with vitamin D. Please mark my word, supplementation. Why? Because vitamin D is not present in the food to the extent we require it. You know, guys, our ancestors used to be able to generate 10,000 to 20,000 international units of vitamin D in a day because they used to work in sunlight. And you know what duration you have to be out in the sun? What duration we have to be out in the sun? We have to be out in the sun between 11 and 2 PM. If you have heard me right, please send me a message saying 11 to 2 PM. Right, 11 to 2 PM. Yes. Why? Because, because that's the only time when our skin generates Vitamin D, or makes vitamin D. Other than that, it's only mushrooms which have vitamin D for vegetarians. For non-vegetarians, we have few other sources. There are— there is dairy also. If it is, you know, fortified with vitamin D, then it can be a source of vitamin D. And, and therefore, friends, we require vitamin D. And the levels of vitamin D which we need are 50 to 70. Even if it goes to 100, it is okay, my dear friends. Please write it down, share it with everybody, right? Very, very important. So step out during the day in the sun, take your supplementation. Vitamin D is extremely important. Other vitamins which are important, I will share with you very soon. Now let's look at some supplements. Let us look at some supplements. What all do we need? So let me share with you what all I eat every day. Vitamin C, 3,000 milligrams. So take 4 times or 5 times a day, 500, 500, so that we can do Vitamin D, I've told you, 5,000 to 10,000 IU for adults, 2,000 for children. Zinc are great to support the immune system, and we must take about 30 mg of zinc every day. Hello, Devika! Liposomal glutathione can be added, but we must not forget our friend curcumin, that is haldi. Very, very, very important, right? And N-acetylcysteine can be added if we feel that our body is toxic. So these are the supplements. And I am thinking it's getting like too heavy. We've done nutrition, we've done sleep, we have done supplements, and one big thing is remaining. But before we do that, I wanted to create context for that thing. So a husband admitted his wife suffering from COVID-19 in a hospital and deposited ₹10 lakhs for 14 days, right? After 3 days, he got a call from the hospital that your wife is fit now because her immunity was strong, so she's recovered faster. Poor husband asked them to return his money as the hospital people can't keep his wife even for 14 days, right? So on the— this is on the lighter side, but what I want to tell you is, what I want to tell you is that stress is a very, very important factor which impacts our, which impacts our immune system. And, and if we all can live in harmony, it will be amazing. It will be amazing because stress kills. Stress kills. Rajinder, can you hear me? So the other vitamins which we should have in our diet are vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, and vitamin D. Now let me share with you this: whenever we have any fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin D, E, A, if you can have it with half or 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or desi ghee, you increase the absorption of your supplements. And friends, these days it is all not about what we are taking, it is about optimizing. Our offices are optimizing, our personal spaces have optimized a lot. They have, you know, adjusted our professional work also. Similarly, we have to make sure that when we eat, we know how to optimize it. So vitamin D with oil. Second tip Curcumin, haldi, when you take, you must take it with black pepper. Why? Because black pepper increases the absorption of curcumin, right? Very, very critical. Do you want me to give you one more tip to improve your immunity from things in your kitchen? Yes. So garlic, how many of you use garlic in your homes? Please give me a yes in the chat box. Okay, thanks, Jital. So Bhuvnesh says we use garlic. Nobody else uses garlic, it looks. Only 5 people. Okay, okay, who else uses garlic? Okay, so if you use garlic, the right way to use garlic is crush it 5 to 10 minutes before you are going to put it on the gas. Why? Because this increases the beneficial compound in garlic which is allicin, and it has antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial properties. So whatever you use, friends, use it wisely. Similarly, people use mushrooms for vitamin D, especially vegetarians. What is the best way to use mushrooms? Anybody who knows it, share it in the chat box. Best way to use mushrooms to increase its vitamin D. Am I audible, friends? Because I am like loud. Okay, so for mushrooms, if you want to increase their vitamin D, You must keep them in sunlight for 10 to 15 minutes before you are going to cook it. Keeping mushrooms just 5 to 10 minutes outside in the sunlight increases its vitamin D concentration. So don't waste on it, friends. Please do this simple, simple tips to get you know, maximum mileage and value and keep everyone in your house healthy. We all have been enjoying kadha, you know. Ayush gave us this, um, very clear guidelines that, uh, drink kadha. And I hear a lot of good feedback of kadha from, you know, a lot of people.

Why is this important, friends? If this is one message you take today, I will be extremely happy. I will be extremely happy. See, it took you so much time to find these differences. Yes, but this is the way we need to be eating our food every day, with this concentration, with this mindfulness. So when we are drinking our kadha, we have to be this mindful. We have to look at it— the color, the texture, the smell, the Flavor, everything. So guys, do this exercise for 5-6 days. Get into the habit of observing food properly. It is amazing. And last but not the least, 12 minutes of exercise is really mandatory, very, very important for all of us. So I've published a poll. Who wants to motivate others with their transformation? All of us. Wow, very good. Do you want to show more self-love to yourself and change your self-talk? Wow, 100%. Very good. How many of you think you have more potential but for some reason you are not able to play at their full potential? 100%. That is amazing. So I know we all are being very honest here. How many of you think you know it but you are not able to implement it in full swing? We all know what we have to do for health, right? We all know what we have to do for relationships, for ourselves, for others, but We need somebody to hold us. How many of— sorry, the same poll came again. Just give me a minute.
