Galectin-3 Microenvironments: The Hidden Driver of Chronic Inflammation
Galectin-3 is emerging as a key driver of chronic inflammation, yet most people have never heard of it. This protein creates inflammatory microenvironments that trap immune cells, disrupt circulation, promote fibrosis, and accelerate disease progression throughout the body.
In this episode, Dr. Eric Gordon speaks with Ruby Tischoff about how elevated Galectin-3 contributes to neurodegeneration, cardiovascular dysfunction, and systemic immune dysregulation, and what can be done about it.
Episode Highlights:
- How Galectin-3 organizes inflammatory microenvironments that impair vascular and organ function
- The connection between elevated Galectin-3 and neurodegeneration, heart disease, and immune dysfunction
- Strategies to reduce Galectin-3 activity, including Pectasol modified citrus pectin, mindfulness practices, and targeted nutrition
