About this episode

Haylie Pomroy and Dr. Jacqueline Junco discuss inflammation and practical tools for healing.

In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy is with Dr. Jacqueline Junco, Department Chair of Integrative Medicine and WHO Board-certified integrative physician with 26 years of clinical experience, for a conversation about one of the most common and most misunderstood forces driving chronic disease: inflammation. Dr. Junco opens by expanding on what most people think inflammation is. They walk through the practical tools that actually shift the body out of that chronic state and back into healing mode: acupuncture and how it activates the vagus nerve and parasympathetic system. How the ear massage is a free self-administered vagal stimulation tool, the 4-7-8 breathing technique, and why the exhale is the most important part; and the role of sleep, vegetables, functional mushrooms, and magnesium in bringing inflammation down at the root. This is the practical episode our community has been asking for. Tune in to Fast Metabolism Matters. If your body feels like it's running on empty, overburdened, or just not responding the way it used to, Haylie's latest book, Toxic Overload, tells you exactly what to do.
