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.
