Episode Description
What if the reason you can't lose weight, feel exhausted, or struggle with brain fog has nothing to do with effort, and has everything to do with chronic inflammation silently destroying your body from the inside out?
Dr. Josh Redd runs one of the largest autoimmune clinics in the country and has spent 16 years helping patients conventional medicine gave up on. His core insight: inflammation in short bouts is life-saving, but when chronic, it becomes the key driver of nearly all disease.
This is the mechanism behind why diets keep failing, gut supplements don't work, and you might feel like you're going crazy when it's actually your brain that's inflamed. Dr. Redd explains why eating less and exercising more can make things worse, how your brain controls your gut (not the reverse), and why "healthy" foods might be fueling your autoimmune fire.
Discover:
• The $25 inflammation test that reveals whether chronic inflammation is sabotaging your metabolism, brain, and immune system
• Why supplements can't outrun a bad diet, and the enzyme inflammation shuts down that makes fat loss nearly impossible
• The cortisol steal, and how stress converts reproductive hormones into cortisol, explaining skyrocketing infertility
• The brain gut connection doctors miss, and why trauma keeps your gut from working properly
• The autoimmune reversal truth, and why Dr. Redd says autoimmune disease is reversible when you address triggers instead of suppressing symptoms
• The blue light crisis, and how phone use after 5pm destroys cortisol rhythm, wrecks sleep, and flares autoimmune conditions
