Dear Jessica: You’re Not Lazy, Broken, or Crazy—You’re Inflamed

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought…
“What is wrong with me?”
You’re tired by 10 AM but wired by 10 PM. Your joints ache like you’ve been hit by a truck, even though you haven’t worked out in weeks. Your gut’s a mess, your skin is rebelling, and your doctor just tells you, “Your labs look normal.”
If this sounds like your life—you’re not alone. More importantly, you’re not crazy. You might just be inflamed.

But What Is Inflammation, Really?
Think of inflammation like your body’s internal fire alarm. It’s supposed to go off when something’s wrong—like an injury or infection. It should calm down once the issue is resolved.
But for many women, that alarm gets stuck in the “on” position. It becomes chronic, simmering quietly. This disrupts your sleep, digestion, hormones, brain function, and peace.
The “Invisible” Battle That No One Talks About
Meet Jessica. She’s a go-getter who holds everything together for her family, business, and friends. But behind the scenes?
She wakes up exhausted.
She skips meals to power through her to-do list.
She feels guilty for needing naps or saying no to social events.
She finds herself Googling symptoms at midnight, wondering if it’s just in her head.
Sound familiar?
This hidden cost of inflammation steals too many women’s joy, energy, and confidence.

You Don’t Need Another Diet. You Need a Strategy.
Here’s the harsh truth most doctors won’t say: You don’t need to “try harder.” You need a root-cause approach that’s personalized for your body, life, and stress levels.
