Are you feeling tired, achy, or just “off” lately? What if we told you there might be a silent fire smoldering within your body, fueling these symptoms and even setting the stage for chronic disease?
In the latest episode of the Rev Up Health podcast, Dr. Mark and Tandi Hechler, the functional medicine experts at Revelation Health & Well-Being, shine a light on the often-overlooked culprit: inflammation.
Beyond the Band-Aid: Understanding Chronic Inflammation
We’re all familiar with the redness, swelling, and pain of acute inflammation – the body’s natural response to injury or infection. But what about the insidious, low-grade inflammation that lingers for months or even years? This is chronic inflammation, the sneaky saboteur that can contribute to a wide range of health issues, from autoimmune diseases to heart disease, diabetes, and even Alzheimer’s.
Unveiling the Culprits:
Dr. Mark and Tandi expose the surprising sources of chronic inflammation, many of which may be hiding in plain sight:
- Your Diet: The Standard American Diet, laden with processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats, is a major inflammatory trigger.
- Your Lifestyle: Lack of exercise, stress, and poor sleep can fan the flames of inflammation.
- Your Environment: Environmental toxins like BPA, phthalates, and air pollution can contribute to a chronic inflammatory response.
- Your Body: Autoimmune conditions, gut dysbiosis, and hormonal imbalances can all fuel inflammation.
Fight Back with Functional Medicine:
Fortunately, you don’t have to be a victim of inflammation. Dr. Mark and Tandi share their expertise in functional medicine, a holistic approach that seeks to identify and address the root causes of health issues. They offer practical strategies for taming inflammation through dietary changes, stress management, exercise, supplements, and more.
