Yeah.

So your brain doesn't see your ovaries.

And I think this is a really important concept.

It has no idea what is happening.

It is relying on the signal.

So let's imagine we're friends on walkie talkies, right?

If inflammation is static interference on the radio,

The brain can't hear whatever signal the ovary is trying to send.

And so it's going to misfire, send off abnormal signals.

And that static can come from a few different things.

So that static is most commonly coming in from chronic inflammation and from insulin resistance.

And insulin resistance...

is one of the top causes of chronic inflammation that we can dive into.

But essentially, inflammation is a normal part of your immune system, right?

You get a cut, your body heals, acute inflammation.

And I'd like to preface and say, inflammation is actually really important in getting pregnant.

When you ovulate,

That follicle, the egg grows inside a follicle, it gets bigger, it ruptures, allows the egg out and has to reform.

And so your inflammatory system comes and heals that little spot where you ovulated from.

And in fact, if you take anti-inflammatory medication like NSAIDs, ibuprofen, Aleve, Motrin, you'll prevent the follicle from rupturing.
