Inflammation Is the Thief of Youth_ How to Turn Off Chronic Fire in the Body
Thu Jan 15 2026
Inflammation is the silent thief of youth — and most people don’t realize it’s happening until the damage is already done.
In this episode of Anti-Aging Unraveled, Dr. Lori Gerber, D.O. breaks down the real reason so many people feel like they’re “aging faster” than they should: chronic inflammation.
If you’ve been dealing with stubborn weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, hormone imbalance, joint pain, poor sleep, gut issues, or autoimmune flare-ups… this may be your missing link.
We’re not just talking about temporary inflammation after a workout or a cold. We’re exposing the hidden drivers of chronic low-grade inflammation—the kind that silently accelerates aging, disrupts metabolism, damages mitochondria, and increases your risk for long-term disease.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✅ Why inflammation is connected to weight loss resistance and hormone dysfunction
✅ The “inflammatory triggers” most doctors overlook (gut permeability, stealth infections, mold, toxins, insulin spikes)
✅ How chronic inflammation impacts thyroid function, estrogen detox pathways, and cortisol rhythms
✅ The most important lab markers to test (and what they actually mean)
✅ The functional + integrative strategies that calm inflammation and restore long-term resilience
✅ How Dr. Lori uses personalized protocols—including advanced lab testing, peptide therapy, detox support, and lifestyle medicine—to help patients regain energy, metabolism, and vitality
If you want to feel leaner, sharper, younger, and more energized — it starts with putting out the fire.
Turn off inflammation, and the body can finally heal.
