Episode notes
Treat Fatigue And Skin Issues As Inflammation Clues
- Recognise fatigue, skin breakouts, poor sleep and post-meal tiredness as potential signs of inflammation.
- Consider diet and gut health as causes rather than assuming dehydration or sugar crashes alone.

- Acute inflammation is protective, but modern lifestyles drive low-grade chronic inflammation that damages health.
- Chronic inflammation arises when our microbiome, gut barrier, and immune system become dysregulated and stay activated.
Three-Layer Gut Defence Framework
- The gut has three defence layers: microbiome, epithelial barrier, and immune system, which operate together.
- Damage to one layer (eg microbiome loss) undermines the others and promotes chronic inflammation.
