Welcome to Radical Vitality! In this episode, I speak with Dr. Tyler Jean about how inflammation works, how to prevent systemic inflammation that wreaks havoc on your health, and the power of food, lifestyle, and mindset.

While acute inflammation is crucial to triggering the body’s healing response, problems begin when inflammation persists for too long. Eight out of 10 leading causes of death worldwide are linked to chronic inflammation. Dr. Tyler explains that when we merely quell the pain of inflammation but not the inflammation itself, it lingers in the body.

Food is either anti-inflammatory or inflammatory. Dr. Tyler explains how your body processes each type and the four key factors that make up anti-inflammatory foods. In addition to food, Dr. Tyler recommends looking at seven other pillars of health, including stress, mold, the gut, and metabolic health. While food may seem like the most obvious area to change, the others are equally important!

If you’re unsure whether inflammation is underlying a health condition, such as ADHD, rosacea, or asthma, Dr. Tyler recommends a few ways to test for potential links. Ultimately, returning to the health basics is the best way to start the healing journey.

Finally, Dr. Tyler shares his concerns about weight loss drugs, which can severely strip the body of skeletal muscle. Instead, he recommends doubling down on healthy foundations. He then breaks down how intermittent fasting can be effective in lowering inflammation. Prepare to leave this conversation equipped with tools and actionable tips that you can start putting into practice today to reduce the burden of chronic inflammation.
