These days it seems "Inflammation" is a term used to explain a lot of problems - from joint pain to brain fog to weight gain. But inflammation isn’t a diagnosis, and it isn’t necessarily bad.In this episode of Medicine Made Simple, I explain what inflammation means in medical terms, how I think the Wellness crowd are using it, and whether the term is misunderstood in wellness culture, or they are being intentionally deceptive.I'll explore where food and lifestyle can influence inflammatory processes, where those ideas get overgeneralized, and why chronic inflammation is usually a signal of an underlying issue, and not a root cause.
