In this podcast we are going to explore chronic inflammation and how nutrition can help you lessen your chronic inflammation.
We will have a look at symptoms, too as we are all individual and some of us may have different levels of meal-induced inflammation with the same foods.
There are a number of factors that can lead to chronic inflammation read through the list, which ones affect you?
- How good is or has your sleep quality been?
- What toxins do you put in your body regularly on a daily or weekly basis and how long for, smoking, drinking etc?
- What’s your activity like or are you or have you been lately a sedentary person?
- What are your stressors like? Is your job stressful, do you work to loads of deadlines? Is your life stressful, couple of kids under the age of 5 for example? Stress plays a huge role.
- Do you get infections like the common cold or seasonal flu regularly?
- Do you have digestive issue frequently, heartburn, indigestion, bloating, excessive wind etc?
- How much body fat are you carrying around, are you on the overweight spectrum?
- What’s your diet like or what has it been like as of late?

This is one of the biggest topics that I wanted to tackle in a podcast and so I have made it my first podcast (after the welcome).
I'm not against cardio by any means, cardiovascular exercise is amazing for heart and lung health and a host of other benefits.
However, it's the notion that to lose body fat you NEED to do some sort of cardiovascular activity.
Some also pair that with calorie restriction, which is just a recipe for disaster.
So, what is the best way? Listen/watch the podcast to find out.
Please, if you have any questions then by all means let me know!
