    The Brain Inflamed: Pathways to Understanding and Recovery with Dr. Jenny Tufenkian

    The Brain Inflamed: Pathways to Understanding and Recovery with Dr. Jenny Tufenkian

    Did you know that brain inflammation, even when it goes unnoticed, can profoundly impact your overall health and ability to heal? The Autoimmune Hour welcomes back Dr. Jenny Tufenkian, a naturopathic physician with extensive experience in treating chronic illness and a personal experience with chronic fatigue. 

    Join Dr. Jenny and host Sharon Sayler as they dive into the topic of brain inflammation. They will discuss the latest research and personal insights into this important area of study and how it affects your health and well-being. You'll learn how an overactive immune response within the brain can lead to conditions like brain fog and long-term fatigue. Their conversation will cover factors that contribute to brain inflammation, including gut health, sleep quality, movement, and connection.

    They will also discuss practical lifestyle changes that can help reduce inflammation and improve overall brain function. In addition, they will explore
    • The effects of glial priming,
    • The connection between chronic conditions and brain health,
    • Ways to address subconscious resistance to lifestyle changes,
    • How stress plays into chronic brain dysfunction and illness,
    • And simple tips for reducing brain inflammation, plus much more.

    More About Our Guest: Dr. Jenny Tufenkian, ND, has treated chronic illness for two decades. Having complex chronic fatigue herself, she had no choice but to dig deep into the literature and uncover the root causes of Chronic Fatigue. Through her research and experience she developed an effective system to unlock the five core root causes so that people who are too exhausted to function, can start feeling like themselves again. Her secret power is her ability to combine a very left-brain functional medical approach with deep subconscious work. This allows powerful shifts in both the physical and energetic bodies.

    She is a licensed Naturopathic Physician/primary doctor, a sought-after adjunct clinical faculty member, and has run her successful private practice in Portland, Oregon. “Dr Jenny,”  as she is lovingly called by her patients and students, holds a BA in Political Sociology from Evergreen State College. She teaches widely to the public, health professionals, and corporations. She is also a mom of two, happily married, and loves her time outdoors and in the kitchen.
