Inflammation is the root cause of many chronic conditions, including cancer, heart disease, and autoimmunity. But did you know that understanding the root causes of inflammation can help you take control of your health?
In this episode of the Functional Nutrition podcast, I dive into the seven key factors driving inflammation and autoimmunity, offering practical advice on how to tackle them head-on.
Leaky Gut, Low Stomach Acid, and Their Role in Inflammation
One of the primary culprits of chronic inflammation is leaky gut, combined with low stomach acid. When the gut becomes compromised, undigested food particles and bacteria leak into the bloodstream, triggering the immune system and igniting an inflammatory response.
Here I will break down how improving gut health can significantly reduce inflammation and prevent autoimmune conditions.
How to Manage Blood Sugar and Reduce Inflammation
Blood sugar imbalances are another leading cause of inflammation. High blood sugar levels create advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that cause oxidative stress and inflammation.
In this episode, I explain the importance of stabilizing blood sugar and insulin levels to reduce inflammation and enhance overall health.
Toxic Load, Trauma, and Circadian Rhythm Dysfunction
In this episode, I also explore how environmental toxins, emotional and physical trauma, and circadian rhythm disruptions contribute to the inflammation cycle.
Learn how to manage your toxic load, deal with stress, and reset your body’s natural rhythms for better health and healing.
