Today I’m joined by Dr. Brooke Stubbs, a double board-certified physician in internal and lifestyle medicine, for a deep dive into inflammation, what drives it, how it shows up in the body, and why so many women are silently affected by it. We explore how gut dysfunction, hormone imbalances, poor sleep, and emotional stress contribute to chronic symptoms like fatigue, bloating, brain fog, and burnout. Dr. Stubbs shares why inflammation is often overlooked in conventional care—and how a functional, root-cause approach can lead to lasting healing.She also explains how food, movement, stress management, and environment can either fuel or reduce disease over time.If you’ve ever felt dismissed by the medical system or frustrated by vague symptoms, this conversation offers clarity, empowerment, and science-backed tools to take your health into your own hands.This episode is brought to you by Seed.
