What if the headaches, joint pain, fatigue, and weight issues you've been struggling with aren't actually separate problems, but symptoms of the same hidden culprit? Inflammation silently damages your body long before you notice anything's wrong, and by then, it's often developed into chronic disease.This eye-opening episode dives into the science behind inflammation and why it's at the root of nearly every modern health crisis. You'll discover how everyday exposures to environmental toxins, processed foods high in omega-6 fatty acids, and even chronic stress trigger inflammatory cascades throughout your body. More importantly, you'll learn exactly how these mechanisms work - from the stress signals carried by cytokines to the crucial difference between inflammatory PGE2 and protective PGE3 compounds.The Standard American Diet keeps millions locked in a state of chronic inflammation, but small shifts in your omega fatty acid balance can create profound healing. I share why popping ibuprofen and Tylenol actually damages your gut barrier (creating more inflammation!) and why natural alternatives like turmeric and omega-3s address the root cause instead of masking symptoms. You'll understand why that bottle of household cleaner making you sneeze is a warning sign your body is detecting toxins, and how these accumulate over decades.With 60-80% of your immune system housed in your gut, learning how to protect this crucial barrier becomes essential for reducing whole-body inflammation. I outline specific inflammatory markers to discuss with your doctor, practical nutrition strategies that can transform your health within three months, and why nutrition isn't some alternative approach - it's the literal foundation of life. Whether you're battling chronic health issues or want to prevent them, this episode provides a functional medicine roadmap to understanding and resolving inflammation at its source.Podcast InstagramBehind the Scenes with HadsBecome Hot & Healthy with HadsLearn more about Hads
