Summary
What if the #1 cause of disease… is also the key to healing?
This episode will flip your understanding of stress, aging, and health on its head. Lo is joined by the brilliant Dr. Sharon Bergquist—a Yale- and Harvard-trained physician, renowned scientist, and wellness visionary—who breaks down why we’re getting sicker younger, what’s behind the inflammation epidemic, and how to actually take control of your health before it’s too late.
From the foods you eat to the feelings you suppress, Dr. Bergquist reveals how everyday choices are shaping your future. The wildest part? You already have everything you need to change your life—no prescription required.
We’re diving deep into:
- The real reason Gen Z’s life expectancy is dropping
- How stress affects your body (and how to make it work for you)
- Why cancer cells already exist in all of us—and how to stop feeding them
- The link between processed food, serotonin, and your mood
- How relationships (even the messy ones) can help your nervous system heal
- What to eat, drink, and do daily to reduce your risk of disease
No jargon. No fear tactics. Just science-backed insight delivered in the most relatable, human way possible. This episode is basically a free consultation with one of the best doctors in the country—and it just might save your life (or someone you love)

| 0:15.5 | Hello, bienvenito. |
| 0:17.2 | Welcome one and all to a brand. |
| 0:20.7 | Spank a new episode, fresh out the oven. |
| 0:22.9 | I've been cooking in la Cucina, sweating my titties off, preparing a delicious new |
| 0:27.1 | episode of the low-life podcast, ready for you to feast on a fiesta platter, a tapas platter, if you will. |
| 0:33.6 | I'm your flaming hot and spicy, seasonally depressed, white wine drinking, tuck a finger licking, ice coffee sipping, Amazon overspending, hot mess of a host, Lorenzo von Rumpf. |
| 0:47.8 | And I am so happy to be here with you today. There is no place I'd rather be than right here in this moment with you right now. |
| 0:54.0 | I hope you're having a beautiful day in a great week so far. |
| 0:56.4 | But if you're feeling a bit overwhelmed and stressed right now, I know a lot of people listening to this right now are feeling like complete shit. |

| 1:19.5 | I know there are so many people that don't feel like the best versions of themselves, |
| 1:24.4 | and it's really hard when you look at social media because everybody's posting highlights of their lives and workout videos and unboxing expensive shit. And it's all about |
| 1:33.4 | consumption and consumerism and capitalism. And it's exhausting. And it's toxic to keep looking |
| 1:38.5 | at all that shit. Because none of it's real life. Truly, none of it is. But it does take a toll on |
| 1:43.1 | our mental health. It does make us feel like shit about ourselves. And it's just life. Truly, none of it is. But it does take a toll on our mental health. It does make |
| 1:44.4 | us feel like shit about ourselves. And it's just not reality. Every single person listening to this |
| 1:50.0 | right now is fighting their own personal battle. Every single person. Nobody, no celebrity, no influencer, |
