Today, we lay the foundation for everything to come. In this episode, I introduce the three core constitutional patterns that underlie most chronic health conditions: Deep Depletion, Inflammatory Heat, and Metabolic Stagnation. This transforms how you understand your body—shifting from symptom management to pattern recognition, from treating the surface to addressing the terrain.

In This Episode:

• Why pattern recognition matters more than diagnosis
• The three constitutional patterns I've identified across hundreds of clinical cases
• Deep Depletion: running on empty and why rest alone won't fix it
• Inflammatory Heat: when your body can't turn off the alarm
• Metabolic Stagnation: stuck, slow, and struggling to move anything forward
• What causes each pattern and why conventional approaches often miss the root
• Herbal and clinical strategies that actually work for each pattern
• How to identify your primary pattern (and why most people are a combination)
• The art of treating the terrain, not just the symptoms

I wrote The Burnout Pattern, a free guide that covers all three patterns. I also have a free quiz for you to determine your dominant pattern. Both. are available to you for free at iyasumed.com.
