If you've been waking up puffy, exhausted, or just not feeling like yourself—this one’s for you. Magan Hendry and Brandi Wigley are diving into a sneaky culprit behind so many midlife health challenges: chronic inflammation. Whether you’re dealing with brain fog, stubborn weight gain, autoimmune flares, or just a general “blah” feeling, this episode will help you connect the dots between your hormones, your habits, and the silent fire that might be fueling it all.

From personal stories about autoimmune struggles and PCOS to real-life solutions that don’t require a complete life overhaul, they walk you through five simple things you can start doing today to lower inflammation and feel better in your body. No extremes. No biohacking. Just doable, sustainable changes like walking more, eating real food, prioritizing fiber and protein, cutting inflammatory oils, and giving your body what it actually needs.

You’re not broken. You’re just inflamed—and you’re not alone.
