There's a heat you can't feel until it's already aging you.
Let's talk about something quietly ticking away inside all of us. In this solo episode I'm getting into inflammaging, the second great time bomb of aging, and what happens when your body's emergency crew never clocks out. Think alarm bells ringing around the clock, sirens that never quiet down.
And here's where it gets personal: perimenopause. That's the wake-up call, the moment declining estrogen strips away one of your most powerful anti-inflammatory shields, and suddenly the fire's raging and no one tells you why.
So I'm not leaving you there. I'll walk you through the real blueprint to put those flames out: how you move, how you eat, your hormones, and how you meet your stress. Because hear me on this one. Longevity doesn't just happen to you. You build it. On purpose. By design.
What we cover:
- Chronic inflammation vs. acute inflammation: what your body actually needs.
- Estrogen decline in perimenopause: losing your anti-inflammatory shield.
- Inflammaging effects: joints, heart, brain, and metabolism.
- Physical activity and myokines: your systemic fire extinguisher.
