This episode explores the surprising connection between chronic inflammation, infections, and mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and ADHD. We discuss the importance of identifying and addressing underlying chronic infections, which can significantly impact energy levels, mood, and overall well-being.

Key points:

• Chronic inflammation can lead to a range of physical and mental health issues, including joint pain, weight gain, depression, and anxiety.

• Underlying chronic infections, including viral, bacterial and parasitic infections, can significantly impact energy levels, mood, and overall well-being.

• Balancing omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids can help manage inflammation, which can impact mental health.

• Incorporating anti-inflammatory foods like olive oil, turmeric, ginger, and green tea and prioritizing physical activity and stress management techniques can help reduce inflammation.
