The Shocking TRUTH About Hydration Stress and Inflammation
In this insightful episode of Everything Is Personal, host Len May sits down with health researcher, author, and former car wash entrepreneur, Benjamin L. Smith. After a personal journey through family health crises, Benjamin dedicated over a decade to investigating the root causes of chronic illness. His book, Why Are You Sick?, breaks down complex health science into clear, visual language for everyday people. Together, they dive deep into the intersections of hydration, stress, mouth breathing, inflammation, and modern environmental triggers—and how simple, consistent lifestyle choices can shift the needle on your long-term health.
