Your Winter Immunity Playbook with Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Dr. William Li, and Dr. Roger Seheult
As winter sets in, our immune systems are under new kinds of stress. In this special mashup, Jeff revisits three powerful conversations that explain how the immune system actually works — and how to support it through food, sunlight, sleep, and daily habits.
Dr. Jeffrey Bland explores the immune system as a dynamic, adaptive network that’s constantly learning from how we live.
Dr. William Li reveals how the microbiome communicates with immune cells and how the foods we eat shape that conversation.
And Dr. Roger Seheult shares how vitamin D, rest, and gentle exposure to heat and cold can help the body build resilience and fend off infection.
Think of it as your winter immunity playbook — practical, science-backed tools for staying strong this season.

Sleep Essentials: How Sleep Cycles Shape Your Mind and Body
In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff explores the architecture of sleep — the repeating nightly cycles that carry us from light sleep into deep restoration and vivid REM dreaming. He breaks down N1, N2, and N3 sleep, explains why deep sleep is essential for physical repair and immune function, and describes how REM helps us process emotion, creativity, and memory.
Along the way, Jeff highlights the science behind hypnagogia — the imaginative threshold between waking and sleep that inspired minds like Einstein and Dalí — and how understanding these stages can help you wake with more clarity and ease.
Whether you struggle with groggy mornings, restless nights, or inconsistent energy, this episode offers a clear and grounded roadmap for understanding your sleep patterns — and aligning your life with the rhythms your body already knows.

MAHA vs. Anti-MAHA: Why Nuance Matters in Public Health
In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff unpacks a recent panel he moderated at the Eudemonia Summit featuring Dr. Will Cole and Dr. Jessica Knurick — two smart, thoughtful voices who deeply disagree about the MAHA movement and the future of public health.
Jeff reflects on why nuanced conversations are so difficult in an online environment engineered for polarization, and why real understanding requires asking honest questions and making space for a respectful exchange. He explores the points of tension around chronic disease, regulatory capture, environmental health, and the political contradictions embedded in the current public health debate.
This episode also looks at the broader policy landscape — from SNAP reform to environmental regulation — and why meaningful progress demands both personal responsibility and systemic guardrails.
If you’ve felt overwhelmed by the noise in the public health world, this conversation offers a grounded, thoughtful, and surprisingly hopeful reframe.

The Power of Gratitude with Louie Schwartzberg
In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff sits down with filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg — the visionary behind Fantastic Fungi, Wings of Life, and Gratitude Revealed — to explore gratitude as a pathway to presence. Louie has spent decades revealing the hidden beauty of the natural world, inviting us to slow down, pay attention, and reconnect with wonder in our daily lives.
Together, Jeff and Louie discuss how gratitude can shift our attention, deepen our sense of connection, and bring more meaning to ordinary moments. They reflect on cultivating awe, moving more intentionally through life, and learning to see what’s already here.
This rerun feels especially timely on Thanksgiving, a day that encourages us to pause, breathe, and come back to the present moment. We hope this conversation inspires you to notice the simple moments of beauty that surround you.
