Are you feeling bloated, exhausted, anxious, or stuck in a body that no longer responds the way it used to despite eating clean and working out? You're not crazy. You're likely inflamed.
In this episode, Christina breaks down what inflammation really is, how it affects your hormones (especially in perimenopause), and the biological chaos it can trigger—like weight gain, poor sleep, mood swings, and joint pain. You’ll learn how to recognize the signs of chronic inflammation, what’s causing it, and the science-backed nutrition, stress regulation, and movement strategies that actually help.
