A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube conversation (Robert Whitfield MD with Lauren) about identifying the sources/drivers of chronic inflammation. The speakers list potential drivers such as food sensitivities, toxic burdens (mold, heavy metals), and environmental chemicals (phthalates, glyphosate, parabens), and briefly mention sauna-related mobilization of metals.

Because if for you, for the audience, you have to figure out what are the sources or drivers of inflammation in order to, on the back end of this, feel as good as Lauren already does. So in the beginning, what I try to get accomplished and what we've become very strict about is what things drive inflammation for you. Do you have food sensitivities? Do you have a toxic burden already? So have you been exposed to mold? Have you been exposed to heavy metals? Do you have environmental toxins like phthalates, glyphosates? Glyphosates are the herbicides and pesticides are sprayed on foods I'm sure you guys have talked about on the show before. Do you have, you know, parabens? Do you use products that have parabens in them? So these are all things that if we don't know about them, and I just do an explant, they're not going to get better necessarily quickly, based on their genetics.
But because I was high in heavy metals, we thought, and correct me if I'm wrong, that the reason I was high is because I was heating myself up in the sauna and it was coming out through my.
