It’s linked to heart disease, type 2 diabetes and other chronic health problems. And it may also play a role in how we feel day to day, including our energy, gut health, skin and more. The good news is that simple changes to what you eat and how you live can help keep inflammation well regulated. Today, I’m joined by Dr Jenna Macciochi, an immunologist, author and inflammation expert with over 20 years of experience. We walk through: What inflammation actually is and why everyone is talking about it The biggest everyday drivers of inflammation What to eat to support a healthy inflammatory response How light, movement, stress and sleep affect your immune system Simple habits to build into your day, from morning to evening
