Key Takeaways:

 

What is Inflammation?
Inflammation is a natural protective response but can become harmful when chronic. Triggers include stress, poor diet, environmental toxins, and lack of sleep.

Symptoms of Chronic Inflammation:

  • Bloating, joint pain, headaches, and brain fog
  • Feeling "poofy" or swollen
  • Persistent fatigue and hormonal irregularities
  • Hormonal Imbalances & Symptoms:

    • Irregular or heavy periods, mood swings, low libido, and hair loss
    • Hormones like estrogen and cortisol play a major role in inflammation.
    • Tips to Reduce Inflammation and Balance Hormones:

    • Identify triggers through health history and lifestyle assessments.
    • Prioritize detoxing through hydration, proper nutrition, and liver support.
    • Reduce exposure to toxins in food, cosmetics, and cleaning products.
    • Manage stress with activities that bring you joy, like reading, cooking, or trying a new hobby.
    • “Don’t Stop at Normal”
      Conventional lab ranges aren’t always optimal. Seek a practitioner who digs deeper to uncover underlying issues when symptoms persist.
