Dietitian Brigid Titgemeier says many healthy-eating women still feel fatigued and puffy from chronic inflammation that standard labs miss. She's launching a series on what inflammation is, whether whole-food diets work, and how to reverse it. She's seen dramatic transformations in women over 12 years of running inflammation labs.
You eat pretty healthy, but you still feel unbelievably exhausted, puffy, inflamed, and just that feeling of not feeling like yourself. It may not be your age, it may be chronic inflammation. And so often no one is even testing the right labs for this. I'm Brigid. I'm a dietitian specialized in insulin resistance and inflammation, and I've been running inflammation labs on women for the last 12 years. Here's what I keep seeing: chronic inflammation is one of the number one reasons that women stop feeling like themselves, and the advice out there is so horrifically generic. Here's the issue: inflammation in midlife—it's not just one symptom. It can manifest as insulin resistance, as skin issues, fatigue, as stubborn weight, hormonal chaos, or even autoimmune flares. This is extremely personal for me. Twenty years ago, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, having crippling chronic fatigue, horrible period pain, acne—so many different symptoms. And building an anti-inflammatory lifestyle over the years is what gave me my energy back. So you voted, and an inflammation series was the most popular vote by a landslide. So welcome. To episode 1 of my inflammation series. Going to be answering all of your questions. What actually is inflammation? Are you inflamed even when you're eating whole foods? Where to start? Supplements are worth it. And the best news is that it's completely reversible. I've seen insane transformations in women over the last 12 years. So tell me in the comments, I'd love to hear one word that describes your symptoms related to inflammation.
