Full Transcript Introduction to the inflammation myths 0:00 I just said you can't eat your way out of this. 0:01 I said, you don't need a CGM. 0:24 Welcome to the Silent Killer Summit, where my guests and I are uncovering the root causes and giving you solutions for chronic inflammatory symptoms and diseases. 0:32 I'm your host, Laura Frantero. 0:33 Today, I am addressing common myths about inflammation. 0:37 So let's start with some simple myths and we'll move into the more complex concepts about about inflammation to my clients every week and what they perceive 0:50 is the cause or solution for inflammation. 0:53 It's kind of a buzzword that is widely misunderstood, so I want to make sure that you walk away from this with some deep understanding about this.
Myth 1: All inflammation is harmful 1:01 So the first myth, and you may know this one, I said I was going to start with simple and we're going go to more complex. 1:06 The first is that inflammation is harmful, all inflammation are harmful. 1:10 In reality, Inflammation is a natural and essential response by the body to an injury or an infection. 1:17 So chronic inflammation is actually different, and it's detrimental to health. 1:22 Those are the flames we want to put out, the chronic flames. 1:26 But we also want encourage a normal inflammatory response to a toxin or infection when you get exposed. 1:32 We want your body react acutely. 1:35 You want systems to be operating correctly and not overwhelmed. 1:40 so you can clear issues through the healthy inflammatory process. 1:43 So in other words, what I'm saying is, inflammation, acute, short term, is critical for your body to resolve infections and toxins. 1:52 It's the chronicity, it's long term that's a problem. 1:56 Once you get into that long-term inflammatory state, now you have a problems.
Myth 2: Diet alone can solve inflammation 2:00 Okay, myth number two. 2:01 Inflammation is diet related and I can solve my inflammation by eating healthy. 2:06 I can eat my way out of this. 2:09 In reality, diet plays a significant role, but so many other factors like environmental toxins, infections and stress and unresolved traumas can also contribute 2:19 to inflammation. 2:20 So basically you can't eat your way outta this, I am telling you, if you've got heavy metals or mold toxins in your body, 2:27 you cant eat enough algae or cilantro. 2:32 to get this out of your body. 2:33 You cannot, you need some help and I really want you to hear that and i'm okay. 2:38 If you're listening to me say that right now and you are not aligned with that, and say no Laura, I know I can solve this with food, 2:44 i am okay with you disagreeing with me. 2:47 That is not The hill that I am willing to die on with my audience, we have to do something more to support you. 2:55 I've actually had clients get mad at me that we didn't talk enough about food in my programs because I don't believe you can eat your way out of this. 3:03 We teach you how to eat right. 3:04 we give you the foundations. 3:07 These are the recommended ways to get that. 3:09 That we think can help you most, but we're going to focus on a lot of different strategies to reduce inflammation and eating in our programs. 3:15 I just sidebar on that. 3:17 So not all inflammatory foods have the same impact on the body. 3:20 This is really important to know. 3:22 Some are worse than others and it also depends on your gut health, your genetics, and your mitochondrial health. 3:27 Myth number three, antioxidants can cure inflammation. 3:31 In reality, while antioxidants help reduce inflammation, A holistic approach is often required to address the root causes. 3:39 Again, you cannot antioxidant yourself out of this. 3:42 You cannot get out this by just taking turmeric or curcumin or just, taking green tea or having fish oil. 3:52 So, myth four is pain relievers like ibuprofen and botanicals like CBD can solve inflammation.
Myth 3: Antioxidants can cure inflammation 3:59 I mean, how many people say, oh, I'm inflamed, and I need my CBD. 4:04 So in reality, pain-relieving medications and herbs may alleviate symptoms, so it's like a band-aid, but they don't resolve the underlying causes, 4:14 the root causes of inflammation I want to be really clear on that. 4:19 You could take CBD every day for six months and you're not solving the inflammation, you are just making it more tolerable, 4:27 makes it hurt less. 4:28 Okay, myth five, inflammation is only a symptom and nothing more.
Myth 4: CBD and pain relievers fix inflammation 4:33 So in reality, Inflammation can be both a symptom and a cause of various health conditions, and this creates a complex interplay within the body. 4:43 So here's an example. 4:44 The myth is that inflammation in the joints is merely a symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. 4:51 Well, in reality, with rheuma arthritis, inflammation is both symptoms and cause. 4:58 as the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy joint tissues, perpetuating the inflammatory cycle. 5:06 Myth number six is it's too late to reverse inflammation. 5:10 Now in reality, with identification and elimination of the root cause infections, toxins, nutrient deficiencies, and stressors traumas, 5:19 these are the four buckets of root causes that you hear me talk about all throughout this summit, it is possible to reduce and even reverse chronic inflammation
Myth 5: Inflammation is only a symptom 5:29 for improved health. 5:30 Myth Number Seven, fixing hormonal imbalances will relieve inflammation Now in reality, while addressing hormonal imbalances, 5:40 it's important It's important to address hormones. 5:45 Inflammation is a multifaceted issue influenced by factors way beyond hormones, a root cause approach that includes solving infections, 5:54 toxins, nutrient deficiencies, stressors, and traumas is needed even when hormonal imbalances are present.
Myth 6: It is too late to reverse inflammation 6:00 We do not hyper-focus on hormones in my programs. 6:07 on adrenals. 6:08 We know that these things will clear and improve and balance when we get underneath it, and we hyper-focus on other things.We hyper focus on infections, 6:19 parasites, bacteria, viruses, fungus.we hyperfocuss on toxins, all of them, mold toxins heavy metals, PFAS, forever chemicals, 6:30 volatile organic compounds.
Myth 7: Hormones are the main cause 6:33 pesticides, herbicides, radioactive elements, I mean, on and on, and when we get underneath that, we solve that. 6:39 When we solved nutrient deficiencies, when you solve traumas and stress, that's when hormones start to get better, adrenals start come back online, 6:48 thyroid medication doses decrease, gut health gets better. 6:52 So this is a different approach. 6:54 Myth number eight. 6:57 If I fix my adrenals, my inflammation symptoms will go away. 7:00 In reality, while adrenal health is vital, it's one tiny piece of the puzzle. 7:06 Chronic inflammation results from various factors, not solely adrenal dysfunction. 7:12 we do adrenal testing on people in our programs. 7:15 We do write adrenal protocols. 7:17 You do a lot of other stuff first. 7:20 Myth number nine, fixing my thyroid is the answer. 7:24 It will solve all my health problems, including inflammation. 7:28 While in reality, While optimizing thyroid function is crucial for overall health, inflammation is usually not directly caused by a thyroid issue. 7:39 Even if you get your thyroid issues resolved, you still need to solve the underlying root cause that got you there in the first place. 7:46 So do not ignore your thyroid. 7:48 If you have known thyroid dysfunction, Work with a naturopath, work with the thyroid specialist, make sure you're working with somebody to get underneath
Myth 8 and 9: Adrenals and thyroid will solve it 7:57 all those other issues. 7:58 We have a great thyroid talk here by Amy Horniman. 8:01 I love her and I send all my thyroid clients to her. 8:04 And I deal with underlying issues, she helps you get that quick relief. 8:10 Okay, myth number 10, normal blood sugar levels mean no inflammation or wearing a CGM will solve my problems, a continuous glucose monitor. 8:20 In reality, while its true blood-sugar spikes can trigger inflammatory responses in the body, even people with normal sugar blood levels can experience 8:28 inflammation if their diet lacks. 8:30 balance and is high in processed sugars. 8:33 And you don't need a CGM to tell you that. 8:35 Ooh, that may be unpopular because a lot of people are promoting using CGMS right now. 8:39 I'm actually not. 8:40 The Cgms get people in a cycle of anxiety and that does not help people heal. 8:48 I'd rather just work you through a proven protocol to support your mitochondria, support drainage pathways, balance gut microbiome, 8:56 move toxins out, because naturally blood sugar starts to regulate and you don't have to be in this spinning cycle of worry over what your blood sugars doing. 9:05 CGMs are great for people with diabetes.
Myth 10: Blood sugar and CGMs solve inflammation 9:08 I'm not saying don t use a CGM if you have diabetes and are trying to figure out how to dose your medications. 9:13 But if you don't have diabetes, you could create more harm than good in your psyche, in you emotional health with a CGM. 9:21 That may be a very unpopular opinion, but I'm going to say it, that's what you can always count on from me. 9:26 So I am very opinionated about some things and I'll tell you how I feel about it. 9:29 Some of this may a bit surprising to you. 9:31 I just said you cannot eat your way out of it and you do not need a cgm unless you are working with the diabetes doctor and have a diabetes and yes. 9:38 I just told you that working on your adrenal health won't help you. 9:40 I told that focusing on hormones won t help. 9:46 And here's what I want you to take away from this. 9:48 There's more to solving inflammation than a singular approach like addressing hormones, thyroid, adrenals, or cutting out inflammatory foods. 9:54 So many times when I work with people, they've been trying to solve all these midstream issues. 9:59 These are mid stream issues, thyroid adrenals, you know, hormones, and not going after the real root cause, the hidden infections, 10:05 environmental toxins stored in the body, nutrient deficiencies caused by infections and toxins and stressors and traumas. 10:11 And when we bring it back to basics and we solve these four buckets of problems in right order with the right support, inflammation goes away. 10:19 Inflammation goes away. 10:21 Symptoms resolve. 10:22 People get off their prescriptions. 10:23 They become productive and energetic again. 10:25 Then get their lives back. 10:27 Now I've mentioned this throughout this summit and I'll do it again here. 10:30 The order of operations to help your body eliminate inflammation and your symptoms is to first support mitochondrial energy production.
The root-cause approach to healing inflammation 10:37 If you didn't catch my talk on mitochondria energy, physical energy and visible energy make sure you catch that. 10:43 Second, open your internal drainage pathways. 10:46 Third, restore gut health. 10:47 Fourth, clear stresses and traumas. 10:49 And finally, you are ready to start the deep cellular detox of heavy metals, mold, mycotoxins and environmental toxins. 10:56 Now, if you're ready to get this healing process started, get in contact with me or one of the practitioners who are teaching you on this summit. 11:03 I brought in many of my friends and colleagues and mentors onto this Summit. 11:07 And while you are viewing the Summit, look for the Practitioners that resonate with you and be sure to connect with them to help you get the help that 11:12 you need. 11:13 Stay tuned after the summit finishes airing because I will be hosting a series of Master Classes to give you more information on your favorite topics from 11:20 the Summits. 11:21 including how to get functional gut microbiome lab testing, how get mitochondria support, and how start solving those four buckets of root causes that 11:28 cause all the other issues. 11:29 We help people from many countries around the world, so be sure to add Laura at laurafrontiero.com to your safe email list and I'll be in touch after the summit. 11:38 You can find me at LauraFrontiro.Com. 11:40 There's a clickable link to my BioRadiant Health website near the bottom of the page where you're viewing this video.
