In this episode, Mei Liu interviews Dr. Jengyu Lai about one of the biggest health topics right now: chronic inflammation and how it may be affecting your energy, weight, brain fog, pain, and overall wellness. They explore how inflammation is connected to gut health, insulin resistance, sleep, stress, movement, and the foods we eat — all themes that continue to resonate strongly with health-conscious YouTube audiences.
Dr. Lai explains why many people feel “off” even when their lab results look normal, and why symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, skin issues, and poor recovery can be early warning signs that something deeper is going on. The conversation also covers the growing interest in lifestyle medicine, root-cause healing, and regenerative approaches that support long-term health, performance, and aging well.
If you’re interested in metabolic health, biohacking-style wellness, longevity, or understanding what your body is trying to tell you, this episode offers a clear and practical discussion with real-world insight.
We also highlight a specific episode titled Reclaiming the Plate: A Navajo Wellness Story.
