Dr. Smeaton and Dr. Smith also discuss:

• The relationship between hormonal changes, stress, and inflammation
• How cortisol and estrogen can impact sleep quality and inflammation in perimenopausal women
• Patterns seen on DUTCH tests indicating inflammation, immune overactivation, or hormone resistance
• Inflammation markers like quinolinate and melatonin and how they can help assess immune health
