Hormonal Inflammation: Lifestyle Habits Disrupting Young Adults' Metabolic Health

  • Metabolic and endocrine disorders, once common in middle age, are now frequently diagnosed in young adults.
  • Dr. Vimal Pahuja attributes this to a 'hustle-driven, convenience-oriented lifestyle' causing hormonal inflammation.
  • Reduced physical activity, irregular sleep, prolonged screen exposure, and chronic stress are key contributors.
  • Poor dietary patterns, gut microbiome disruption, and chronic psychological stress further exacerbate the issue.
  • Reversing this trend requires prevention, strategic lifestyle changes like exercise, sleep, nutrient-dense diet, and stress management.
