[The LOdown] How to Control Inflammation Around Workouts

Inflammation isn’t always the enemy. In fact, it’s exactly what your body needs after a workout to repair muscles, stimulate growth, and get fitter. But when exercise-driven inflammation becomes chronic, it can lead to hormonal chaos.

A few things we chat about in this episode 👇👇👇

  • ✅ The difference between acute (helpful) and chronic (harmful) inflammation

  • ✅ Why short-term oxidative stress from exercise is actually a signal for repair and hypertrophy

  • ✅ Signs your workouts are creating more harm than good

  • ✅ The types of training that create the most oxidative stress vs. lower-stress options

  • ✅ Nutrient timing strategies to better control inflammation and support recovery

  • ✅ How mitochondrial dysfunction, low thyroid, toxins, and nutrient gaps can turn a healthy workout response into damaging chronic inflammation

    By the end, you’ll understand how to train in a way that maximizes the benefits of inflammation—without tipping your body into overtraining, poor recovery, or systemic stress.

    If you’ve been wondering whether your workouts are helping your hormones—or secretly working against them—this episode is for you.
