How do our hormones contribute to the inflammation in our body? How does inflammation impact our hormones? Both inflammation and hormones can tell us so much about the state of our health and our cycle.

In this episode, I am joined by Michelle Penicook. She is an incredible expert when it comes to breaking down the root cause of inflammation, hormone imbalances, and other women’s health issues. Michelle has first-hand experience with chronic health problems and debilitating symptoms, which has been the fuel for her mission of discovering the “root cause” of women’s health issues.

In this conversation, Michelle talks about the relationship between our hormones and inflammation. She explains how the two impact each other, what the difference is between acute and chronic inflammation, how to identify if you have inflammation, ways to regulate inflammation, the impact that inflammation has on the cycle, and so much more.
