Key Takeaways:

 

What is Inflammation?
Inflammation is a natural protective response but can become harmful when chronic. Triggers include stress, poor diet, environmental toxins, and lack of sleep.

Symptoms of Chronic Inflammation:

• Bloating, joint pain, headaches, and brain fog
• Feeling "poofy" or swollen
• Persistent fatigue and hormonal irregularities

Hormonal Imbalances & Symptoms:

• Irregular or heavy periods, mood swings, low libido, and hair loss
• Hormones like estrogen and cortisol play a major role in inflammation.

Tips to Reduce Inflammation and Balance Hormones:

1. Identify triggers through health history and lifestyle assessments.
2. Prioritize detoxing through hydration, proper nutrition, and liver support.
3. Reduce exposure to toxins in food, cosmetics, and cleaning products.
4. Manage stress with activities that bring you joy, like reading, cooking, or trying a new hobby.

“Don’t Stop at Normal”
Conventional lab ranges aren’t always optimal. Seek a practitioner who digs deeper to uncover underlying issues when symptoms persist.
