Description

The #1 cause of death worldwide hasn't changed in 50 years and we're still missing the root of the problem.

Dr. Z sits down with Dr. Tom O'Bryan, leading functional medicine expert and creator of The Inflammation Equation, to uncover how inflammation, not cholesterol, is the true driver of cardiovascular disease, dementia, autoimmune conditions, and more.

Toxins, stress, and even foods like gluten ignite a chain reaction inside the body, leading to chronic illness. Learn why cholesterol is sometimes protective, what is behind "leaky gut," and the small, consistent lifestyle changes can transform your health.

You'll Learn:

Root Mechanism of Disease

How Inflammation Damages the Body

Cholesterol Isn't Always the Enemy

The Hidden Dangers of LPS

Simple Steps to Reduce Exposure

The One-Hour-a-Week Rule

Ready to stop guessing and reduce inflammation? This episode will give you the roadmap.

As always, our prayer is that you experience the abundant life.
~ Dr. Z & Mama Z
