This Type of Inflammation Slows Aging. The Other Type Accelerates It.

Chronic inflammation is one of the biggest hidden drivers of aging, heart disease, and metabolic decline, and most of us have no idea where we stand. In this episode of The Habit Healers Podcast, I’m walking you through “inflammaging,” the slow, silent rise in inflammation that accumulates as we age, using a surprising parallel from nature that finally makes the whole process click.I’m Dr. Laurie Marbas, and what I want you to understand today is that the inflammatory molecules damaging your tissues are the same ones that protect you when you’re sick or injured. The difference is the dose. We’ll talk about why one population with the highest inflammation researchers have ever measured also has the healthiest hearts on Earth, why the same molecule from exercise heals you while the same molecule from belly fat harms you, and why your blood markers may not budge for months after you start doing the right things. Then I’ll give you a clear, practical protocol you can actually follow.In this episode, you’ll learn:* What inflammaging is and how chronic inflammation accelerates aging and heart disease* How to measure your own inflammation with a simple hs-CRP test and waist measurement* Why visceral fat acts like a faucet feeding low-grade inflammation* How an anti-inflammatory, Mediterranean and plant-predominant diet lowers your markers* Why exercise and muscle are your body’s natural anti-inflammatory filtration system* How long it really takes to see results, and why the lag is normalDr. Marbas Substack Article: https://drlauriemarbas.substack.com/p/this-type-of-inflammation-slows-agingCheck out the Habit Healers Community: https://www.skool.com/habithealers/about Get full access to The Habit Healers at drlauriemarbas.substack.com/subscribe
