Your white blood cells manage your immune system by defending against or fighting infection, repairing injuries, and preventing overreactions such as autoimmunity. When the immune system malfunctions, you may develop an autoimmune condition, experience lingering infections, or suffer excess inflammation. The biomarkers that assess your immune health include neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. Learn more about these white blood cell markers, how they relate to inflammation and autoimmunity, and what you can do to support your immune health.

📍What is discussed:
*00:00 – What Is Immune Regulation?*

Understanding how the immune system balances defense against infections with avoiding overreactions like autoimmunity.

*00:14 – When Immune Balance Goes Wrong*

The two extremes: autoimmune conditions vs. poor infection defense.

*00:32 – Key White Blood Cell Types in Blood Tests*

Overview of neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils — and what each tells us.

*00:46 – Lymphocytes and Viral Infections*

Why elevated lymphocytes often signal viral infections and guide further diagnostic work.

*01:18 – Monocytes and Inflammation Clues*

Monocytes can reveal allergy responses or heightened inflammation — even if other markers like hs-CRP are normal.

*01:53 – Autoimmune Conditions and ANA Testing*

Why white blood cells alone won’t diagnose autoimmunity and what additional tests are used (e.g. ANA, tissue-specific antibodies).

*02:15 – Neutrophils and Bacterial Infections*

When high neutrophils suggest an acute bacterial infection and help differentiate causes of illness.

*02:38 – Monocytes and Phagocytosis (Clearing Cell Debris)*

How monocytes “clean up” dead or damaged cells, and what high levels may signal in deeper diagnostic work.

*03:16 – Basophils and Allergic Response*

The role of basophils in allergy signaling (via interleukin-4), and when to explore food or environmental triggers.

*04:00 – Eosinophils and Parasites or Allergies*

Why high eosinophils could point to parasite infections or chronic allergies, and when to run a stool test.
