Ep. 55 Inflammation & Your Nervous System
Description
Chronic pain isn't just about joints, muscles, or old injuries—it's deeply rooted in how your nervous system processes pain signals and how inflammation rewires the brain. In this episode of The GoodLife in Health and Wellness, Dr. Kate Duncan dives into the science of neuroinflammation, central sensitization, and the hidden drivers that keep your body stuck in a cycle of pain.
Discover how stress, sleep deprivation, poor diet, toxins, and trauma silently fuel inflammation—and how that inflammation hijacks your nervous system, creating a pain loop that's hard to break. But there's hope. With evidence-based tools, from anti-inflammatory nutrition to vagus nerve stimulation and neuroplasticity strategies, it is possible to calm the storm and retrain your brain toward healing.
Dr. Kate also shares a real-life patient case study that illustrates how functional medicine and chiropractic care work together to bring lasting relief.
