    175 | The Hidden Inflammation Destroying Women’s Health | Dr. Sam Shay

    What if the reason you still feel exhausted, foggy, inflamed, or overwhelmed is that no one has actually looked at the full picture of your health? In this episode, I sit down with functional medicine expert Dr. Sam Shay for one of the most eye-opening conversations we’ve had about chronic inflammation, hormones, burnout, gut health, genetics, and the hidden stressors that keep so many women stuck in survival mode. We talk about why so many women are being told their labs are “normal” while still feeling terrible, the difference between conventional and functional medicine testing, and how inflammation may be driving everything from fatigue and brain fog to hormone imbalance and chronic illness.

Instead, he shares the framework he uses to help people finally understand what their body has been trying to communicate all along.
