It turns out 95% of bacteria are super healthy for us
and reducing inflammation can help reverse some weight gain. How is
this related to germ theory and metaflammation? Regan does a deep
dive on why inflammation does what it does to the body, how we can
reduce inflammation, and what lead absorption can do to the
liver.

Key Takeaways:
[1:36] New research shows our health is very
dependent on bacteria. But what about germ theory?
[2:18] The loss of bacteria is leading to more
systemic inflammation which is causing a host of other
diseases.
[3:20] The link between inflammation and metabolic
syndrome.
[4:06] ~ 70% of the US population is obese or
overweight. Reducing inflammation can help reverse some weight
gain.
[4:43] 70% of diseases result from chronic conditions
emerging from low-grade systemic inflammation.
[6:04] How is our sedentary lifestyle contributing to
inflammation?
[6:26] What's causing the link between weight gain
and inflammation?
[7:17] Eating too many refined carbohydrates or too
many sugars? Well, that sugar that's not used as an energy source
will get converted into a fat cell.
[7:33] There is a direct link between the obesity
epidemic and too much inflammation. Which tests can you take to
measure that?
[8:30] One of the biggest issues triggered by
inflammation is intestinal permeability or leaky gut. How can a
leaky gut cause a host defense reaction?
[9:44] We are so pro on you getting some type of food
sensitivity test to see what foods may be causing a host reaction
in your body.
[10:00] Inflammation - The good and the bad.
[11:19] The pharma industry has not done anything as
far as reduction in heart disease.
[11:35] Certain deficiencies in micronutrients
include folate, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, Zinc and
Magnesium.
[12:48] Look at your finger nails, if you've got
little white dots on your fingernails, there's a good chance you've
got a zinc deficiency.
[13:30] Western diets are void in a lot of these
essential vitamins and minerals.
[14:40] There are some really good foods you can eat
to reverse inflammation. Just Google #fatbomb.
[16:10] Inflammation and diabetes.
[16:39] Inflammation begins in the fat cells. As the
fat mass expands, inflammation increases.
[18:20] How does this inflammation cause insulin
resistance? Cytokines!
[19:13] What is Leptin resistance? How can
inflammation prevent leptin from telling your brain you're
full?
[20:44] Leptin resistance is linked in with insulin
resistance which is linked in with too much inflammation.
[21:05] Start focusing on how your body feels when
you eat.
[21:38] One thing to measure if you're looking at
decreasing inflammation: Lipopolysaccharides.
[21:47] What is zonulin? What happens with too high
levels of zonulin?
[22:54] Harmful bacteria are a major cause of excess
levels of zonulin.
[23:18] What are some major foods that can cause
zonulin levels to rise?
[24:21] Some main things to check up on: look at
balancing vitamin & mineral deficiencies, oxidative stress
damage, detoxification abilities, bacterial overgrowth, &
vascular system.
[25:08] What lifestyle changes and actions can help
reduce chronic inflammation?
[26:49] Foods that will help decrease inflammation:
avocados, walnuts, organic leafy greens, apples, garlic, turmeric,
cumin, cabbage.
[30:36] Let's get rid of the heavy metals like lead.
The lead toxicity ruined Flint, Michigan residence' health.
[33:15] In children, 50% of ingested lead is absorbed
into the blood, in adults only about 25% gets into the blood.
[34:56] Getting lead in your body is one of the major
causes of inflammation and chronic disease.
[35:23] Inflammation goes far beyond just arthritis
and joint pain.
