Have you ever said, "I just don't feel like myself anymore" — even though your labs look normal? In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause breaks down why inflammation starts in the brain, how it drives fatigue, brain fog, cravings, hormone imbalance, and accelerated aging — and why 2026 is the year to stop suppressing symptoms and start correcting root causes. Inflammation isn't just a body problem. It's a brain health issue first. Your brain uses 20% of your daily calories, and when inflammation is present, it shifts into defensive mode, not performance mode. That's when clarity disappears, energy crashes, and nothing feels like it's working anymore. 🧠 What You'll Learn in This Episode ✔ Why fatigue often begins as brain fatigue and inflammation ✔ How inflammation changes perception, memory, and focus ✔ Why stress and unresolved trauma amplify inflammation ✔ The connection between blood sugar instability and brain fog ✔ How hormonal changes increase inflammation and cravings ✔ Why circulation and oxygen delivery are critical for healing ✔ How peptides may support inflammation regulation and mitochondrial health ✔ Why labs miss inflammation — but patterns don't ✔ How a personalized, holistic approach is the future of health 🚨 Signs of Brain Inflammation (Even When Labs Look "Normal") Brain fog after meals Morning stiffness lasting longer than 30 minutes Energy crashes or "wired but tired" feeling Poor recovery from exercise Mood and cognition fluctuations Low HRV or elevated resting heart rate Elevated CGM readings or blood sugar swings Pattern recognition often detects inflammation long before labs do. ⏳ Why Inflammation Makes You Feel "Old" When inflammation stays elevated: Cells don't repair efficiently Mitochondria produce less energy (ATP) Hormone signaling becomes disrupted Blood sugar regulation worsens Fat storage increases The brain becomes less efficient That's why so many people say: "I feel inflamed, puffy, foggy, and exhausted — but nothing is technically wrong." 🔄 The Key Reframe Inflammation is not the enemy. It's a signal. Suppressing it without addressing the cause is like turning off a smoke alarm while the fire keeps burning. Acute inflammation heals Chronic inflammation drains energy, accelerates aging, and blocks results The solution is root-cause correction, not symptom suppression 🧬 Why Brain Fog Happens (Step-by-Step) Chronic inflammation releases pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β) that: Travel through the bloodstream Cross or weaken the blood–brain barrier Activate microglia (the brain's immune cells) 🚨 Result: The brain shifts into protection mode, not clarity mode. This leads to: Slower thinking Trouble focusing Word-finding difficulty Poor mental stamina Your brain is conserving energy for survival — not performance. 🔋 What Actually Clears Inflammatory Brain Fog (Not suppression — regulation) ✔ Reduce inflammatory triggers (food, toxins, stress) ✔ Stabilize blood sugar ✔ Improve circulation and oxygen delivery ✔ Calm the nervous system ✔ Support mitochondrial function When the environment improves, the brain recovers. 🧪 How to Measure Inflammation Beyond Standard Labs To truly assess inflammation, you must look at: Immune signaling: IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β Metabolic stress: Insulin, A1C, HOMA-IR, TG:HDL, CGMs Oxidative damage: OxLDL, 8-OHdG Gut integrity: Zonulin, Calprotectin, Lactoferrin Nervous system load: HRV, S100B, GFAP Circulation: hsCRP, ESR, Homocysteine, Fibrinogen, ADMA This is why people are told "everything looks normal" — while feeling anything but. 🎧 Bottom Line Inflammation is your body trying to protect you. But when it becomes chronic, it quietly rewires how you feel, think, and age.

What if the reason you're struggling with low energy, stubborn weight, or digestive issues isn't about willpower — but your Metabolic Type? In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, I sit down with Martin Pytela, functional medicine expert and metabolic typing coach, to explore how your unique biology shapes the foods, supplements, and lifestyle choices that actually work for you. We each inherit strengths and weaknesses in three key systems: ✅ Autonomic Nervous System – Are you sympathetic dominant (anxious, wired, stuck in fight-or-flight) or parasympathetic dominant (burned out, chronically fatigued)? ✅ Oxidation Rate – Is your metabolism burning fuel fast or slow? (Think paper vs. logs on a campfire!) ✅ Endocrine System – Thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, and ovarian dominance all shape your body type, hormone balance & weight patterns. When you understand which system dominates — and which needs support — you can use personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies to restore balance, energy, and vitality. ✨ In this conversation, you'll discover: The power of biological individuality in nutrition Why pH balance is crucial for overall health How endocrine dominance shapes weight, metabolism & hormones The role of stress, detoxification, movement & emotional healing in restoring health Why personalized nutrition is the fastest path to consistent energy and resilience Martin's story is inspiring — after healing himself from mercury toxicity, he's helped over 12,000 clients uncover the hidden causes of their health struggles. His message is clear: true healing is possible, even for long-standing conditions. 🎧 Tune in now and discover your metabolic type.  Resources from The Show: Martin Pytela's Website - Life Enthusiast William Wolcott's Book - The Metabolic Typing Diet
