0:00If inflammation is designed to heal us, why does it begin hurting us as we age?

0:05Why does so many of us feel like our bodies are fighting a battle, even when we're not sick?

0:09Maybe your joints ache.

0:10Maybe your brain feels foggy.

0:12Maybe you're tired all the time.

0:13You can't lose weight like you used to.

0:15Maybe your blood work keeps showing signs of inflammation, even though you're doing, quote, all the right things.

0:20Well, at first glance, those problems don't seem connected.

0:22One affects your brain, another affects your metabolism, another affects your heart or your joints.

0:27But what if they're all being driven by the same underlying biological process?

0:32Over the last decade, scientists have discovered that many of these seemingly unrelated conditions are connected by one remarkably powerful part of your immune system.

0:40Think of it as your body's master inflammation switch.

0:43Its job is to detect danger, to protect you, to coordinate your body's response to injury or infection.

0:49And when it's working properly, it's one of the reasons you survive.

0:52But when that switch stays activated for too long, the very system designed to protect you can begin working against you.

0:59Now, researchers believe that this pathway plays an important role in many of the chronic diseases associated with aging, from metabolic dysfunction and heart disease to neurodogenic diseases and arthritis.
