Episode 453: All About Inflammation


Listen Later

This episode takes a deep dive into the complex world of inflammation—how it shows up in the body, its essential role in immune response and healing, and what happens when it becomes chronic. Listeners will gain insight into the signs of systemic inflammation, including joint pain, brain fog, skin issues, and digestive symptoms, along with a breakdown of how inflammation can become a driver of chronic disease when left unchecked.

We also examine the risks associated with common over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications like NSAIDs, including their impact on gut integrity and long-term health outcomes. The episode offers evidence-based alternatives for pain and inflammation, including food-as-medicine strategies, targeted supplementation (like omega-3s, curcumin, and boswellia), and lifestyle practices that promote healing and regulate immune function without unwanted side effects.
