Turns Out the Most Anti-Inflammatory Thing You Can Do Is Heal Your Self-Worth
Because when you believe you’re not enough, not doing enough, not being enough — your body feels that.
It keeps you in a low-key state of stress and survival.
Which means: shallow breathing, tight muscles, a wired but tired nervous system.
And over time? That dysregulation creates inflammation — emotionally and physically.
Dr. Gabor Maté speaks to this connection often — how inauthenticity, self-rejection, and people-pleasing can lead to chronic stress and even autoimmune issues. Because the body remembers when we self-abandon. When we suppress who we are to feel safe or accepted.
How low self-worth shows up:
The pressure to prove.
The responsibility for others’ emotions.
The shame when you rest.
The guilt when you say no.
The chase to feel chosen.
Healing your self-worth isn’t just about being more confident.
It’s about learning to be with yourself.
It’s about creating inner love & trust.
It’s about reminding your nervous system daily:
I’m safe. I’m enough. I’m already whole.
