Episode Synopsis
Ever wonder why your body suddenly decides to turn into a furnace the moment you get sick? In this warm, funny, late-night episode of Voices of Discovery, Roxie Robinson unpacks the science — and the secret strategy — behind fevers.From the brain’s little thermostat (the hypothalamus) to your immune system’s “heat mode,” she explains how that uncomfortable rise in temperature is actually your body’s ancient way of fighting back.With her signature mix of humor, empathy, and real talk, Roxie shares stories (including the time she got a fever right before an exam) and helps us see that fever isn’t failure — it’s healing in progress.Because sometimes, feeling hot just means your body’s doing its smartest work.
