We hear it everywhere: “Eat an anti-inflammatory diet.” But… what does anti-inflammatory really mean?

In this episode, Dr. Alison opens up about why she made a major pivot in her approach to autoimmune nutrition — stepping away from restrictive diets she once supported — and the powerful science that changed everything.

We explore two fascinating studies that challenge conventional wisdom: A brand-new randomized controlled trial in autoimmune disease

A a mindblowing study that reveals how you feel about food can shift your biology

You’ll discover:

• Why “anti-inflammatory” isn't as black-and-white as you’ve been told

• What we should be asking when it comes to food and inflammation

• How mindset and stress impact the body’s response to food

• What really creates a healing environment — and how to start building it today

If you’ve ever felt confused by conflicting advice, overwhelmed by wellness trends, or anxious about what’s on your plate… this episode will bring you clarity, calm, and science-backed perspective.
