We've done all these episodes without digging directly into inflammation which is definitely at the "root" of so many (/every!) health condition.

BUT, what is at the root of inflammation...???

In this conversation we get to the bottom of the main things that contribute to inflammation in the body, which, by the way, is not a deficiency of advil, turmeric, steroid creams, or fish oil.

Some important takeaways include...

• The 3 causes of inflammation: mechanical trauma, infection, chemical trauma/toxins

• The many ways inflammatory agents come into the body: food, air, water, etc

• Components of a true anti-inflammatory diet

• Why meat, dairy, and eggs contribute to inflammation in the body

• Our favorite run of the mill, non-exotic, anti-inflammatory superfoods

• The importance of the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 

Some things we did NOT include, though wish we did, include the inflammatory effects of stress chemicals/hormones and why a conventional "anti-inflammatory" or mediterranean diet is not really anti-inflammatory - mainly has to do with oil and animal products.
