Quotes: 

“Millions of Americans have an autoimmune condition, and millions more are somewhere on the autoimmune-inflammation spectrum. One in two men and one in three women will get cancer, and every 34 seconds, someone has a heart attack. All of these conditions have one thing in common: inflammation.” 

“Patients know I am all about regeneration, so they requested I host this episode to help everyone gain a better understanding of inflammation and the many ways to keep it in check at home and naturally in order to avoid health challenges.” 

“In many cases, you can’t see it or feel it, but inflammation may slowly be damaging your body. Inflammation plays an essential role in our health, but too much of a good thing can wreak havoc on the body.” 

“I enjoy sharing simple ways anyone can regulate inflammation in order to reduce any risk factors for disease because it is a great way to support a regenerative lifestyle.”
