DAMPs, PAMPs and NFKB activation

In this episode, Dr. Jockers breaks down the truth about cellular inflammation and chronic disease, explaining how inflammation is a life-saving mechanism that can turn harmful when it persists. You'll learn how stressors like infections, nutrient deficiencies, and emotional turmoil create a cascade of inflammation that can damage your body over time.

Dr. Jockers dives into the science behind the cell danger response, showing how the body reacts to injury or threat, and what happens when it gets stuck in a self-perpetuating cycle. Discover the role of NFKB in amplifying inflammation and how it can be triggered by damage-associated or pathogen-associated molecular patterns.

Learn simple yet powerful strategies to calm inflammation, from proper sleep and movement to reducing toxin exposure and balancing your diet with anti-inflammatory nutrients. Dr. Jockers provides actionable tips on how to regain control and heal from chronic inflammation.
