A self-paced program from Accredited dietitian Paula Norris ( AKA Moving Dietitian)
While there is a lot that is out of your control when it comes to the spread of illness, there are ways you can strengthen your immune system.
There’s so much #BS out there around nutrition and immunity so I decided to set the record straight with this four-pillar program which will give you the confidence to know you are doing the absolute best when it comes to nutrition and strengthening your immunity.
Six key lifestyle factors that science tells us have a direct impact on your immune function are exercise, sleep, stress, smoking, alcohol consumption and… nutrition.
This program will guide you to get your nutrition right.
OVERVIEW OF THE NUTRITION FOR IMMUNITY PROGRAM
The Nutrition for Immunity program contains four pillars each containing a 20-25 minute video that is packed with information to help strengthen your immune system through your nutrition.
I wrap up each video by giving you a simple action plan and relevant downloads that will support you making changes in your diet, without cutting any of your favourite foods!
So, let me tell you about what you will receive in each pillar of this nutrition for immunity program.
Pillar One: Best nutrients to strengthen immunity (including clever ways to get them into your meals)
There are more than 10 vitamins and minerals and key fats that are critical to the function of your immune system, so inadequate intakes can weaken your immune function making you more susceptible to infection and/or how bad you get an infection.
Talking about all of these one by one would be extremely overwhelming and to be honest very dull.
So instead, in the pillar one video, I simply cut out the #BS and drill down to the best and most important of these nutrients and give practical ways to get enough to support a strong immune system.
You will also learn other overlooked factors when it comes to nutrients including:
- How certain fats reduce inflammation and why this is important to your immune function
- Two key micronutrients that commonly cause deficiency
- The importance of phytonutrients (If you don’t know what these are – you’re missing out!)
I wrap up this video lesson by giving you an action plan that will:
- Get you started on how to get more nutrients into your meals with minimal extra effort.
- Give you my best tips on how to jazz up your meals with herbs and spices.
- Help you to adjust your fat intake. Yes, as in getting more of the good fats.
- Guide you on which foods to swap in and out.
You know I love busting a good myth so I bust a few on good and bad fats and herbal supplements!
There’s also a bonus video for those following a vegan diet.
To help you take action you will also get downloadable goodies:
Pillar Two: Focus on getting the right fruit and vegetables to support immune function
We all know it, we need to get more fruit and veg into the diet.
Sounds easy…..
but only 7% of Australian’s actually get enough fruit and vegetables In the second video lesson I spell out:
- My simple and effective strategies to eat more fruit and veg each day
- The best forms of fruit and veg to buy and the best ways to prepare them to maximise how many nutrients you get
Once again you’ll be left with ideas to action immediately that won’t cost you the earth or take any extra time to prepare.
I also address confusion around:
- Raw or cooked vegetables and share my best cooking methods in this area.
- Should you drink juice?
- Why fresh is not always the best!
Pillar two has more downloadable goodies:
Pillar Three: Gut Health And Immunity
Did you know 70% of our immune system lies in our gut? So what we eat and digest has a significant influence on how well our immune system works!
In this video lesson you will learn:
- How our gut influences our immunity
- How many plant foods you need to eat each week to improve your gut health
- Whether or not you need for a probiotic supplement
- Which foods increase the diversity of bacteria in your gut
- Other dietary factors that influence gut health
At the end of the lesson, I set out an action plan to improve your gut health
and…
…some more myths are busted, this time around probiotic supplements and factors that have a negative effect on your gut.
I share two more important downloads in pillar three:
Pillar Four: Healthy Weight And Your Immunity
We wrap up the program with the fourth video lesson which is completely focussed on the link between weight and immunity.
I also share how to build a more positive relationship with your food and how to get more enjoyment from food without cutting out your favourite foods.
In this video you will learn:
- How weight and immunity are related
- Four simple strategies to achieve a healthy weight without counting calories or macros. These strategies cover:
- The liquids you drink
- Processed foods
- Alcohol (complete avoidance not required!)
- Including enough protein at breakfast (hint- protein distribution is important for weight loss)
- How to easily action these steps without counting calories or going hungry
In the fourth video, I shift gears a little and talk about mindset. I will guide you to build good habits by introducing small changes that become a lifestyle without the overwhelm.
I also bust some of the biggest myths around drinking tea and coffee and if you should quit sugar.
I share two more downloads with you:

FAQs
How can nutrition boost immunity?
Whilst it is common to read articles on ‘boosting’ immunity, this is not terminology that you will hear or see in this course.
‘Boosting’ immunity would actually not be a good thing because scientifically this would mean that the immune system is overactive and an overactive immune system leads to autoimmune disorders.
However, there are things we can do nutritionally to help our immune system work at it’s best. 70% of our immune system lives in our gut, so it makes sense that what we eat and digest plays a key role in how that system functions.
Not only this but being a healthy weight and eating enough of some key nutrients have been shown to have a direct influence on how well our immune system works.
Will I need to buy expensive supplements?
No. Everything you need can be found in everyday foods. You may need to tweak what foods you are eating or the amounts but you will not need to spend money on expensive supplements and powders.
What is the investment?
In this program, you’ll get all of the information you would get from a Private Practice Dietitian across 4 – 6 sessions which would cost you anywhere between $600 and $800USD. So a course for $89.00USD is incredibly good value.
I don’t live in Australia, will this information still be relevant?
Absolutely. You can apply the information you learn wherever you are in the world.
I have other health and nutrition goals, will this course be suitable for me?
Potentially yes. Whilst the main aim of this course is to improve immunity, there are a number of other health and nutrition goals this information and actions plans will address. Please email us directly with your health and/or nutrition goal so that we can chat about whether this course is suitable for you.
