Inflammation, Hormones & Hidden Imbalances with Dr. Erin Ellis


Listen Later

Show Notes: 

Could inflammation be the reason you're bloated, fatigued, or struggling with your cycle? Naturopathic doctor Dr. Erin Ellis joins Jen to explain the real signs of chronic inflammation, what most lab results don’t tell you, and how hormone imbalances are often overlooked in conventional care. Learn how to support your health naturally—starting with awareness, better choices, and listening to your body.

Key Takeaways:

  • Inflammation is natural, but chronic inflammation is not—and it often goes undetected.

  • Common signs include brain fog, bloating, puffiness, joint pain, and fatigue.

  • Stress, poor sleep, toxins, and processed food are key inflammation drivers.

  • Hormone imbalances may present as mood swings, hair loss, irregular periods, and weight gain.

  • Most doctors only test what’s “normal”—not optimal. Don’t stop at normal.

  • Fun isn’t frivolous—it’s essential for hormone balance and nervous system health.

  • Reduce your toxic burden by becoming ingredient-aware and making clean swaps.
