Your fatigue, achy joints, and bad gut days might not be aging; they could be signs you're quietly inflamed. In this episode, I break down how to tell if chronic inflammation has set in, why it's driving some of the most serious diseases we face, and the simple, low-cost changes I use to cool it down: diet, sleep, stress, hydration, cold showers, red light, and a few key supplements. There's one daily habit that costs less than a dollar and one 30-second trick I promise you won't quit after seven days, but you'll have to listen to find out why. Hit play, and remember: it's just science.
