45 - Inflammation, hormones and the hidden cause of chronic disease

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by Professor Robert Lufkin, physician, medical school professor and author, to explore how inflammation and metabolic dysfunction lie at the heart of many of today’s chronic diseases.

They discuss why conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, dementia and mental illness are often treated as separate problems, when in reality they share the same inflammatory and metabolic origins.

The conversation also looks at the central role of hormones in regulating inflammation, mitochondrial function and long-term health, and why progesterone, estradiol and testosterone may be among the most powerful disease-modifying treatments we already have.
