Episode notes
Inflammation Is Not Always Bad
- Inflammation is a normal immune response that heals injury and fights infection.
- Chronic inflammation occurs when the immune system responds with no real threat and drives disease risk.
Feed Your Gut To Calm Inflammation
- Prioritise fibre and diverse plants to support gut microbes and lower inflammation.
- Focus on whole-food patterns rather than single “anti-inflammatory” supplements.
Mediterranean Pattern For Fertility
- Follow a Mediterranean-style pattern: fruits, vegetables, olive oil, nuts, seeds, oily fish and legumes.
- Reduce red meat, refined carbs and added sugars to improve fertility-related outcomes.
