Episode notes
Inflammation Drives Most Chronic Disease
- Chronic inflammation underlies far more disease than any other single factor in the U.S. population.
- Addressing inflammation often transforms patients from a few good days a month to most days feeling well.
Top Dietary Triggers Seen Clinically
- Gluten, dairy, and sugar are the most common inflammatory food triggers in Josh Redd's patient population.
- Casein from dairy can mimic gluten and often provokes similar immune confusion.
30-Day Anti-Inflammatory Reset
- Do a 30-day anti-inflammatory reset: eat proteins, nuts, seeds, legumes, vegetables, and fruits while avoiding corn, rice, eggs, dairy, gluten, and sugar.
- After 30 days, reintroduce one food every 3–5 days and monitor symptoms.
