Know Your Body 101: Your Mighty Immune System

Tuesday, October 14

6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Location: Library Program Room

Nature’s Ultimate Defense and Repair Crew. Part vigilant defender, part cleanup crew, the immune system protects us from microbial invaders while also playing a key role in healing injuries. October’s talk will explore the fascinating world of our immune system—its organs, cells, how it activates, and how it distinguishes between self and non-self.

As always, Emily will share some fun facts and practical takeaways, including:
*Why inflammation happens—and what you can do to reduce it
*A simple strategy for supporting your body during autoimmune flare-ups
*Her personal go-to method for avoiding a cold after exposure

Warning: side effects may include increased curiosity and an urge to chat about physiology at dinner parties.

This course is taught by EMILY KLIK, LMT, CST. Emily's anatomical learning path started before she could walk. Her father was a high school science teacher, and science class was always in session, even at home. His early instruction inspired a lifetime of curiosity about how we work, inside out. Over the past 23 years, Emily has applied this knowledge as a bodyworker, specializing in releasing migraines and TMJ issues, and working on many other conditions and sources of pain in our human bodies.
