Your Brain Is Probably Inflamed… And You Don’t Even Know It | Jana Jamal
Description
Could your anxiety, brain fog, fatigue, or low mood have less to do with your mind—and more to do with your gut?
In this episode of Thought Atlas, I sit down with Jana Jamal, a certified Nutrition Specialist specializing in functional nutrition, neuroscience, chronic illness, and the gut-brain connection.
Together, we explore why so many people continue to struggle despite eating “healthy,” why treating symptoms often isn’t enough, and how nutrition, inflammation, mitochondria, and the nervous system all work together to shape our physical and mental health.
We also discuss neuroinflammation, chronic stress, red light therapy, autism support through nutrition, misinformation in the wellness industry, and why true healing requires looking at the body as one interconnected system rather than isolated symptoms.
In this episode:
- The gut-brain connection explained simply
- Why you’re not just what you eat—you are what you absorb
- Hidden causes of brain fog and chronic fatigue
- How inflammation affects mood and mental health
- Why symptoms keep coming back
- Red light therapy and brain health
- Functional nutrition vs conventional nutrition
- Supporting neurodiversity through nutrition
- Why the wellness industry often gets it wrong
- Simple habits that actually improve your health
If you’ve ever wondered why your body feels “off” despite doing everything you’re supposed to do, this conversation offers a fresh perspective grounded in science, compassion, and curiosity.
