Tackling Inflammation and Hormone Balance with Dane Anderson

Welcome back to another episode of the Nutrition and Life podcast! Today we have a fascinating conversation lined up with functional nutrition coach Dane Anderson. In this episode, we explore how inflammation can disrupt hormone functioning and cellular communication. Dane shares practical advice on assessing insulin resistance and inflammation through blood sugar testing, and the importance of parasympathetic activity, stress management, and reducing inflammation for improving health and weight loss. Lisa shares her own experiences with weight fluctuation and training, leading to an insightful discussion on cortisol, aldosterone, and water retention. We underline the significance of understanding weight monitoring and client education in making informed health choices. Dane also unpacks his rich background, shaped by his dietitian mother, education in psychology and business, and extensive certifications in functional nutrition. Together, we reflect on our experiences at the Metabolic Mentor University summit and discuss the nuances of fasting, autophagy, and creating supportive environments for dietary changes.
