Tired of the inflammation fear-mongering? Stop obsessing over "toxic" foods and learn what actually drives chronic inflammation in your body.

While fitness influencers point fingers at gluten, seed oils, and nightshades, the real culprits are hiding in plain sight... and they're not what you think.

This episode dismantles the myths surrounding inflammation and reveals the true drivers of this misunderstood health concern. While we're scrutinizing ingredient labels and avoiding specific foods, the actual causes of chronic inflammation are hiding in plain sight... and they have little to do with what's on your plate.

Discover how to engineer an anti-inflammatory lifestyle using systems thinking instead of food perfectionism.

Main Takeaways:

• Acute vs. chronic inflammation are completely different systems requiring different solutions
• The #1 driver of inflammation isn't foods
• One organ functions as your body's natural anti-inflammatory pharmacy
• Specific lifestyle factors matter more than eliminating specific foods
• Western dietary patterns drive inflammation, not individual ingredients
