Chronic inflammation is closely linked to the biggest causes of death worldwide, silently contributing to heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's. Unlike acute inflammation that heals injuries, chronic inflammation can persist for months or years, damaging tissues and organs without obvious symptoms.

In this episode I do a deep dive on chronic inflammation and by the end of it you should have a better understanding of what chronic inflammation is, how it damages our bodies, what causes it and most importantly, what you can do to prevent it.
