Episode Synopsis

What if your brain fog isn’t just stress—or your anxiety isn’t just “in your head”? What if it’s inflammation quietly hijacking your mind and body?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Austin Perlmutter to uncover the hidden epidemic of neuroinflammation and how modern life is silently reshaping our brain health. We explore why so many of us feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or “off,” and how tuning back into nature, rhythm, and inner wisdom can be a radical form of healing.
You’ll learn how to spot early signs of inflammation, how everyday toxins and tech impact your brain, and what it really means to feel rooted and well.
Dr. Austin Perlmutter is a board-certified internal medicine doctor and bestselling author who blends neuroscience with holistic living to help people reconnect—with their health, their purpose, and their peace.
