Highlights

• Inflam-aging is not "just getting older." It is chronic, low-grade inflammation meeting poor detox and lifestyle stressors.
• Gut health, circadian rhythm, and daily self-care are the backbone of hormone balance and resilience in midlife.
• Doshas influence cravings and meal patterns. Vata needs grounding warm meals, Pitta needs cooling balance, Kapha thrives with cooked foods and strategic fasting.
• Satisfaction is a form of self-care. Matching taste, texture, and temperature prevents the endless search for "something more."
