How These Factors Trigger Inflammation:
1. Leaky Gut
When the gut lining is damaged, particles like undigested food and toxins “leak” into the bloodstream—triggering an immune response and chronic inflammation.
2. Chronic Stress
Stress raises cortisol, which weakens immune function and increases inflammation—especially in the brain, gut, and hormones.
3. Insulin Resistance & Excess Body Fat
When cells stop responding to insulin properly, blood sugar remains high, leading to systemic inflammation and hormonal disruption.
4. Chronic Infections
Unresolved infections (like Epstein-Barr or gut dysbiosis) keep your immune system activated—causing low-grade, constant inflammation.
5. Heavy Metal Exposure
Toxins like lead, mercury, and aluminum can accumulate and disrupt your mitochondria, gut, and detox systems—leading to inflammation.
6. Childhood Trauma
Early emotional trauma can alter the nervous system and immune response, making the body more prone to chronic inflammation and stress disorders.
7. Food Sensitivities
Foods that don’t sit well with your body (gluten, dairy, processed oils) can irritate the gut and immune system—especially when eaten repeatedly.
