Germ Theory and Chronic Inflammation


Listen Later

It turns out 95% of bacteria are super healthy for us

and reducing inflammation can help reverse some weight gain. How is
this related to germ theory and metaflammation? Regan does a deep
dive on why inflammation does what it does to the body, how we can
reduce inflammation, and what lead absorption can do to the
liver.   

  

Key Takeaways:

[1:36] New research shows our health is very

dependent on bacteria. But what about germ theory?

[2:18] The loss of bacteria is leading to more

systemic inflammation which is causing a host of other
diseases.

[3:20] The link between inflammation and metabolic

syndrome.

[4:06] ~ 70% of the US population is obese or

overweight. Reducing inflammation can help reverse some weight
gain.

[4:43] 70% of diseases result from chronic conditions

emerging from low-grade systemic inflammation.

[6:04] How is our sedentary lifestyle contributing to

inflammation?

[6:26] What's causing the link between weight gain

and inflammation?

[7:17] Eating too many refined carbohydrates or too

many sugars? Well, that sugar that’s not used as an energy source
will get converted into a fat cell.

[7:33] There is a direct link between the obesity

epidemic and too much inflammation. Which tests can you take to
measure that?

[8:30] One of the biggest issues triggered by

inflammation is intestinal permeability or leaky gut. How can a
leaky gut cause a host defense reaction?

[9:44] We are so pro on you getting some type of food

sensitivity test to see what foods may be causing a host reaction
in your body.

[10:00] Inflammation - The good and the bad.

[11:19] The pharma industry has not done anything as

far as reduction in heart disease.

[11:35] Certain deficiencies in micronutrients

include folate, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, Zinc and
Magnesium.

[12:48] Look at your finger nails, if you’ve got

little white dots on your fingernails, there’s a good chance you’ve
got a zinc deficiency.

[13:30] Western diets are void in a lot of these

essential vitamins and minerals.

[14:40] There are some really good foods you can eat

to reverse inflammation. Just Google #fatbomb.

[16:10] Inflammation and diabetes.

[16:39] Inflammation begins in the fat cells. As the

fat mass expands, inflammation increases.

[18:20] How does this inflammation cause insulin

resistance? Cytokines!

[19:13] What is Leptin resistance? How can

inflammation prevent leptin from telling your brain you’re
full?

[20:44] Leptin resistance is linked in with insulin

resistance which is linked in with too much inflammation.

[21:05] Start focusing on how your body feels when

you eat.

[21:38] One thing to measure if you’re looking at

decreasing inflammation: Lipopolysaccharides.

[21:47] What is zonulin? What happens with too high

levels of zonulin?

[22:54] Harmful bacteria are a major cause of excess

levels of zonulin.

[23:18] What are some major foods that can cause

zonulin levels to rise?

[24:21] Some main things to check up on: look at

balancing vitamin & mineral deficiencies, oxidative stress
damage, detoxification abilities, bacterial overgrowth, &
vascular system.

[25:08] What lifestyle changes and actions can help

reduce chronic inflammation?

[26:49] Foods that will help decrease inflammation:

avocados, walnuts, organic leafy greens, apples, garlic, turmeric,
cumin, cabbage.

[30:36] Let's get rid of the heavy metals like lead.

The lead toxicity ruined Flint, Michigan residence’ health.

[33:15] In children, 50% of ingested lead is absorbed

into the blood, in adults only about 25% gets into the blood.

[34:56] Getting lead in your body is one of the major

causes of inflammation and chronic disease.

[35:23] Inflammation goes far beyond just arthritis

and joint pain.
