As you age, so does your immune system. And the older your immune system is, the weaker it will likely be. A weakened immune system means you are at a higher risk of infections. Here are six signs that should alert you that your immune system might be struggling to keep up. You're tired all the time. You're getting enough sleep at night, yet you still feel like you're burning the candle at both ends. You've been under a lot of stress. When your stress levels are high, your body decreases the production of white blood cells that help fight viruses. You have a cold that won't end or you're experiencing four or more colds a year. You have lots of tummy troubles, such as frequent diarrhea, gas or constipation. Skin wounds are healing slower than they used to. You have frequent infections and need more than two courses of antibiotics in a year. If you're experiencing these signs, then there is a high likelihood that you have immune dysfunction. The good news is that MD Lifespan has five advanced testing methods to understand the root cause of your immune dysfunction and five different solutions to treat your condition. Schedule a call with a patient service advisor to get signed up and meet with our Longevity team to determine which tests and solutions are right for you.
