Hi. Thanks for having me. So I'm excited to learn about inflammation. But before we do, we always have a song request for Alex. Sarah, do you have the song request for Alex?
You know, so there was a lot of uh I think internal debate over what the song should be, but finally settled on We didn't start the fire by Billy Joel.
Why did you pick weed and start the fire?
I just trying to think about uh setting up this conversation talking about uh inflammation uh inflammation and uh uh I think the line always burning since the world's been turning is a bit like chaotic low grade inflammation. So I think it'll set a set us off on the right note.
And also the three of you didn't start the fire. You're not responsible for the inflammation. You study it. We're trying to put it out. Exactly. And there's a We

Now you gotta do that with like but all the words are like prostaglandin, IL six TNF. Yeah. Um
I was half expecting that. I mean, cellular senescence.
At the end. At the end of the show. We'll see. Um, well, let's start off. I tried to actually do some background research on inflammation before we got on this podcast. I failed miserably. Because I try to listen to a bunch of podcasts and videos about it, but the only thing I found was like people trying to hawk me skincare products and like vitamins to prevent inflammation. So there's like a lot of like skincare podcasts that talk about inflammation. Um so unfortunately I failed. We did get a good article, which I I read, which I'll put up on the show notes, but we Would anybody willing to give me like a one or two liner on what How should I think what inflammation is? Who wants to start?
Yeah.
Hunting to Brian. I think Brian's the Leave it
to the rheumatologist to talk about inflammation. Well, I mean inflammation is inflamm aging is really just referring to chronic and progressive inflammation that's related to aging, but then is linked to aging associated diseases. So There's other ways we can talk about it if you guys want to jump in, but that's the basic principle behind it.
