Episode 021 - The Nurture Breakdown: Inflammation, Gut Dysfunction, and DNA Damage
Description
If your gut is off, your immune system overreacts, and you’re inflamed—but your labs still say you’re “fine,” this episode is your map.
Brandon breaks down the Nurture domain—the biology of safety—and how gut dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and genomic stress form a loop that quietly pulls your health off course. You’ll learn to spot the early whispers (not just symptoms), understand why traditional labs miss them, and use Compass-aligned moves to rebuild.
What we cover:
• Your body’s first question: “Am I safe?” (why safety precedes adaptation)
• The gut–liver axis: barrier → portal vein → liver overload → immune activation
• What Nurture drift feels like (gut, inflammation, brain/mood, DNA repair)
• How Nurture drift worsens other hallmarks (mitochondria, hormones, detox)
• Practical rebuild: morning inputs, delay caffeine, fermentable fiber, DNA support, immune calm
• Why Nurture is the Compass anchor—and why all roads lead back to it
