In this episode Matt speaks with Yalda Alaoui, founder of Eat Burn Sleep, to discuss how a life-altering diagnosis transformed her approach to health, gut function, and chronic inflammation.

They cover Yalda’s transition from investment banking to health advocacy following her diagnosis with ulcerative colitis and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Yalda shares her personal journey through diagnosis, pregnancy-induced triggers, and the limitations of conventional anti-inflammatory treatments like corticosteroids. She explains how addressing the underlying causes through diet and lifestyle allowed her to become medication-free and build a data-backed approach to managing gut health.

Beyond that, they explore the complexities of autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto's, the hidden dietary triggers that fuel systemic issues, and why standard medical advice often overlooks preventative lifestyle changes. Yalda breaks down the concept of chronic inflammation, detailing how stress, sleep deprivation, and over-exercising can impair immune response and stall recovery.

Whether you are navigating an autoimmune condition, dealing with persistent digestive issues, or looking for practical ways to lower systemic inflammation, this episode provides actionable advice for reclaiming control over your long-term vitality.
