In this episode, we dive into the powerful connection between chronic inflammation and aging, uncovering the science behind how long-term inflammation impacts cellular health, metabolism, and the immune system. You'll learn about the difference between acute and chronic inflammation—why short-term inflammation is crucial for healing, but prolonged inflammation, known as “inflammaging", can accelerate the aging process and contribute to age-related diseases.

We'll discuss the role of mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and cytokines in this process, and highlight the lifestyle factors—such as poor diet, lack of exercise, stress, toxins, and sleep deprivation—that contribute to chronic inflammation. More importantly, we'll explore practical, research-backed strategies to combat chronic inflammation, improve mitochondrial health, and ultimately slow down the aging process. With insights from functional medicine, this episode will equip you with actionable steps to improve your quality of life and support healthy aging.
