Prof. Philip Hansbro: How inflammation wreaks havoc and what to do about it

Chronic smouldering inflammation is no fun to live with. Some common signs include weight gain/ stubborn weight loss, fatigue, joint pain, digestive problems, skin issues, unexplained mood changes, and autoimmune disorders. Host Amelia Phillips and Professor Philip Hansbro discuss the mechanisms behind inflammation, what causes it, which foods cause it (findings about gluten, dairy and alcohol may surprise you!) and most importantly evidence based approaches to reducing our inflammation levels and restoring healthy gut microbiome. 

About the guest:
