If you want to dive deep to understand inflammation, insulin resistance and how fat gets stored! Tune in!
Most people aren’t aware of how inflammation damages the body and what that looks like. It’s not something we hear about a lot, but many of us experience inflammation on a chronic level.
Things that increase inflammation can be foods we eat, medication, diseases/bacteria/viruses, blood sugar imbalances, leaky gut, chronic stress, poor sleep, and environmental toxins. I don’t know about you, but when I look at that list, I can identify! So what effect does long term inflammation have on your body?
😵💫Fatigue
😵💫Autoimmune challenges
😵💫Chronic infections
😵💫Mouth sores, rashes, skin disturbances

It’s important to remember that chronic inflammation should be tackled from multiple angles, including diet and stress management, but if you struggle with inflammation, supplementation is pretty much essential in the plan that ANY naturopath, integrative MD, functional medicine MD, holistic MD, holistic nutritionist, or health coach would recommend. Plexus fits so well into this plan because of 3 things:
