Episode 193: Inflammation, Stress, and Why Your Body Isn’t Responding

In this episode, Kristina explains that inflammation itself is not inherently bad. In fact, it plays a critical role in healing, immune response, and recovery. The real issue arises when inflammation becomes chronic and the body remains stuck in a prolonged stress state, unable to fully recover or regulate.Kristina breaks down how chronic inflammation often shows up in women not as pain, but as bloating, puffiness, fatigue, brain fog, poor recovery, and stubborn fat loss. She highlights the paradox many women face: doing “all the right things” like training hard, eating carefully, and pushing for more discipline, yet seeing fewer results. Drawing from her own experience with unmanaged PCOS, hormonal disruption, and ongoing digestive and energy issues, she shares how a performance-driven mindset ultimately kept her body in a constant state of overwhelm.Kristina walks through what supporting the body actually looks like in practice, prioritizing sleep, fueling adequately, pulling back on excessive cardio, increasing daily walking, and focusing on nervous system safety. She outlines practical, sustainable habits around nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle that help lower inflammation without extremes, emphasizing that healing happens when the body feels supported, not punished.WATCH ON YOUTUBE:⁠https://www.youtube.com/@kristinaturnure/podcasts⁠BALANCED BLUEPRINT MEMBERSHIP:https://builtgroupcoaching.my.canva.site/balancedblueprintmembershipBUILT AND BALANCED VIP COACHING:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScV_IGO2VhRV415iIsiHz6TGr76wuH-loG2eGt068pZG474qw/viewform BUILT & BALANCED NEWSLETTER:⁠⁠⁠https://builtandbalanced.kit.com/dd0f3197cc⁠⁠⁠LIFE REWIRED IG:⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/LIFEREWIREDPODCAST/?utm_medium=copy_link⁠⁠KRIS IG:⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kristinaturnure/?hl=en⁠⁠NASH BARS:https://nashnutrition.co/PTULA: DISCOUNT CODE KRISTINAT https://www.ptula.com/TRANSPARENT LABS: CODE KRISTINA https://athlete.transparentlabs.com/kristinaturnure
