In this episode, we delve into the impact of inflammation on health, focusing on its connections to hormone imbalance, weight gain, and longevity. We discuss how chronic inflammation—triggered by diet, stress, and environmental factors—can lead to various chronic diseases and accelerate aging. The episode highlights the role of gut health in inflammation, particularly how imbalances in gut bacteria can lead to "leaky gut" and systemic inflammation. We also explore how inflammation disrupts key hormones, contributing to mood disorders and metabolic issues. Finally, we offer strategies for reducing inflammation through an anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle to enhance hormone balance, body composition, and overall vitality.
