In this episode of Inspired Living for Women, Laura Owen—author of The Reset Code and a trailblazing entrepreneur in business, healthcare, and public service—uncovers the hidden epidemic of chronic inflammation and its toll on women’s health. In a grounded, eye-opening conversation, Laura explains how this persistent, often overlooked condition drives the “trifecta” of diabetes, heart disease, and liver dysfunction—especially in women over 40. She explores how our broken “sick care” system fails us, and why addressing root causes through lifestyle, purpose, and community is key to lasting change. Her insights offer not just information, but hope—for healing, clarity, and powerful midlife reinvention. 

Topics Discussed:

• Laura’s mission to expose chronic inflammation as the silent driver behind diabetes, heart disease, and liver damage
• The staggering truth about metabolic syndrome—and why most pre-diabetic Americans don’t even know they’re at risk
• How our current healthcare and food systems keep people sick, medicated, and uninformed
• Why community, purpose, and a root-cause approach are essential to lasting midlife health and transformation

Key Takeaways:

• Chronic inflammation often goes unnoticed—but it’s a root cause of many serious health issues and can be reversed.
• Awareness is power: understanding your risk for metabolic syndrome can help you take action before symptoms appear.
• You don’t need more willpower—you need a deeper “why” and a supportive community to make lasting change.
• True healthcare starts with root-cause healing, not prescriptions—and women over 40 deserve better.

Noteworthy Quotes from Laura:

“We don’t have healthcare—we have sick care. The system is built to diagnose and prescribe, not to prevent or heal.”

“What we put in our mouths every day is either medicine or poison. It’s that simple.”

“You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge. That’s the first step—and it’s where real hope begins.”

“By the time women reach midlife, we often ask, ‘Where did I go?’ The loss of identity, purpose, and confidence can be just as damaging as any diagnosis.”
