Maggie Berghoff's "Eat to Treat" offers a comprehensive approach to understanding and managing inflammation. The book presents a three-step plan that focuses on identifying the root causes of inflammation, detoxifying the body, and promoting healing. It delves into various types of inflammation, including physiological and psychological aspects, and explores their connection to hormone health, thyroid function, and metabolic syndrome. Berghoff emphasizes the importance of a balanced lifestyle, including nutrition, mindset, and environmental factors, to reduce inflammation and improve overall well-being. The book also challenges the concept of 'good' and 'bad' foods, promoting a more balanced and mindful approach to eating.
In 'Head Strong,' Dave Asprey offers a two-week program to supercharge brain performance. The book combines the latest findings in neuroscience and neurobiology with a hacker-inspired approach to improve mental performance. It focuses on key areas such as powering the brain with the right nutrients, eliminating toxic foods and environmental factors, supercharging mitochondria, reversing inflammation, and promoting neuron growth. Asprey provides detailed plans on diet, physical activity, detox protocols, and environmental adjustments to enhance brain function and overall well-being.
Inflammation is at the root of everything. More inflammation means less energy and a higher risk of every disease. Today, we’re digging into exactly why inflammation is so insidious with functional medicine nurse practitioner Maggie Berghoff.
Maggie is a USA Today National Best-Selling author of the book Eat to Treat: Your Three-Step Plan To Reduce Inflammation, Detoxify Your Life, And Heal Your Body. She is also the founder of wellness supplement and non-toxic home line DETOXDaily.
In this episode, we talk all about inflammation—what causes it, how it hurts us, and how to combat it. We explore all the different types of inflammation, including physiological vs. psychological inflammation– and dig into how inflammation intersects with hormone health, thyroid function, and metabolic syndrome.
Maggie also shares her perspective about shedding shame around eating, and why perfectionism can be even more toxic than actually toxic foods. Plus, I share a lot of horrifying (but medically useful) information about urine. You’ll be equally intrigued and grossed out.
