Brain Inflammation

“Mental illness is inflammation of the brain.” – Dr. Mark Hyman

Inflammation is the root cause of all major illnesses. It is your body’s response to poor metabolic function. Reduce inflammation in your body, and you will feel better—period.

The average person is exposed to hundreds of chemicals and toxic energies Every. Single. Day. This constant bombardment places immense stress on the body and brain, triggering inflammation. Brain inflammation occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy brain cells, and chronic inflammation is linked to numerous neurological conditions and mental health disorders. In today’s world, maintaining a good diet and regular exercise is no longer enough to keep up.

Each year, over one billion pounds of glyphosate—the chemical found in Roundup—is sprayed on food crops. Common chemicals in our water include chlorine, lead, copper, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, arsenic, PFAs, and microplastics. Grocery store aisles are filled with ultra-processed foods masquerading as real food. Toxic stress from lack of sleep and radically altered lifestyles—conditions our grandparents did not experience 75 years ago—leads to decreased metabolic function, inflammation, and disease.

If you are alive in 2025, you have no shortage of information about toxins, inflammation, and the thousands of modalities available to help you heal. Thousands.

At Ilios, our mission is to help people heal step by step, starting with the fundamentals. If you are anything like me, you may have tried various healing modalities—ozone treatments, IV NAD drips, or other advanced interventions—while simultaneously engaging in toxic, inflammatory nutrition and lifestyle behaviors. The result? Disastrous.

“Start where you are” means stopping—just stopping what you’re doing—and opening yourself to new possibilities. It means doing less, not more. Grinding away step by step with quiet persistence, listening to your intuition (not your thoughts), and having faith that every action, big or small, is leading you toward a healthy brain and body.

You can heal. You can channel energy and clarity through your body in ways you may never have thought possible. That’s what happened to me.
