Back to EpisodesEp. 97 Inflammation in the Brain: The Silent Disruptor
Description
Brain fog, poor focus, low mood, fatigue, and mental clarity issues are not always "just in your head." Sometimes, they are signs that the brain and body are under stress.
In today's episode of The GoodLife in Health and Wellness, we continue our month-long series on Brain Health & Cognitive Clarity by discussing Inflammation in the Brain: The Silent Disruptor.
Dr. Kate Duncan explains how inflammation can affect brain function, mood, memory, focus, and energy. You'll learn what neuroinflammation is, how the immune system communicates with the brain, why sleep and blood sugar matter, and how chronic stress, gut health, pain, and nutrient deficiencies may contribute to brain fog and emotional overwhelm.
This episode also covers practical ways to support the brain through better sleep, steady blood sugar, nourishing foods, daily movement, stress regulation, pain support, and anti-inflammatory habits.
Next week, we'll be discussing Why Am I Always Tired? A Functional Look at Fatigue as we begin looking ahead to next month's topic: Sleep & Fatigue Solutions: Chronic fatigue and sleep optimization.
Thank you for joining me today on The GoodLife in Health and Wellness. Until then, take care and keep living the good life!
