Chronic pain and inflammation are some of the most common reasons people rely on NSAIDs like ibuprofen. While these drugs can provide short-term relief, long-term use is linked to gut irritation, ulcers, kidney stress, and increased cardiovascular risk. That’s where natural anti-inflammatory compounds come in.

One compound in particular has been shown to reduce pain and inflammation through many of the same pathways as ibuprofen, without damaging the gut lining. From joint pain and muscle soreness to headaches and inflammatory flare-ups, this natural option offers a functional medicine approach that supports healing rather than just masking symptoms.

In this video, Dr. Justin breaks down how this compound works, why absorption matters more than dosage, and how to use it safely and effectively as part of a root-cause strategy for inflammation and pain relief.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ How this natural compound reduces inflammation through COX-2 and NF-κB pathways.

✅ Why ibuprofen and NSAIDs can damage gut health over time.

✅ How to use natural pain relief without increasing reflux or ulcer risk.

✅ Why bioavailability determines whether supplements actually work.

✅ When natural anti-inflammatories make sense for chronic vs acute pain.

📘 Dr. J's New Thyroid Book: https://www.thyroidreboot.com

Chronic inflammation is one of the biggest hidden drivers behind fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, weight gain, hormone imbalance, and autoimmune issues. While acute inflammation is part of normal healing, long-term inflammation silently damages tissues and keeps your body stuck in a stress response.

In this video, Dr. Justin Marchegiani breaks down the root causes of chronic inflammation, why it persists even when labs look “normal,” and how functional medicine addresses the problem at its source. You’ll learn how gut health, blood sugar imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, toxins, infections, and chronic stress all feed the inflammatory fire and what you can do to calm it down naturally.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ How gut dysfunction and food sensitivities trigger systemic inflammation

✅ Why blood sugar instability fuels inflammatory hormones

✅ How hidden infections and dysbiosis keep inflammation turned on

✅ The role of nutrient deficiencies in poor immune regulation

✅ How stress, sleep loss, and cortisol imbalance worsen inflammation

Chronically low neurotransmitters can wreck your mood, focus, memory, and overall brain function — but the real question is why they get low in the first place. In functional medicine, we look deeper than “chemical imbalance.” Mold toxicity, poor digestion, low adrenal output, and hormonal imbalances all play major roles in how your brain produces serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and more.

In this episode, Dr. J breaks down the hidden drivers behind low neurotransmitters and how to restore healthy brain chemistry naturally.

What You’ll Learn:
• Why low neurotransmitters cause anxiety, depression, and brain fog
• How mold exposure blocks dopamine, serotonin, and GABA pathways
• The role of gut function in neurotransmitter production and absorption
• How low cortisol and adrenal fatigue disrupt brain chemistry
• How low thyroid, estrogen, and progesterone affect mood and focus
• The best strategies to rebuild neurotransmitters safely and naturally

📅 Schedule a FREE Consult: http://www.justinhealth.com/free-consultation

Struggling with bloating, nausea, early fullness, or upper stomach pain? These upper gut symptoms are incredibly common — and often misunderstood. In this episode, Dr. Justin Marchegiani breaks down the real root causes behind upper GI dysfunction and shares practical, natural strategies to help you finally get relief.

Upper gut issues are frequently driven by low stomach acid, poor enzyme output, sluggish bile flow, or hidden infections like H. pylori and bacterial overgrowth. When digestion slows down, food ferments instead of breaking down, leading to gas, pressure, inflammation, and nutrient malabsorption. Dr. J explains how to identify these underlying patterns and what steps you can take to restore healthy digestion from the top down.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ The most common root causes of upper gut bloating and discomfort

✅ How low stomach acid and weak enzymes impair digestion

✅ How hidden infections and dysbiosis trigger upper abdominal pain

✅ Diet and lifestyle habits that support upper GI healing

✅ The top functional-medicine supplements that reduce bloating and restore gut function

If you’re tired of feeling full, gassy, or uncomfortable after meals — or you’re looking for a real explanation for persistent upper gut symptoms — this episode gives you the framework to start healing.
