When does illness really start? You might say that it starts with the first symptoms. A cold starts with the first sniffle. Arthritis starts with the first pain. But that’s not always true. Most illnesses start long before the first symptoms. Unless we know how to recognize the earlier signs.

In this episode of Self Powered Healing, I'm talking about chronic internal inflammation: what it is, what causes it, how it shows up, and, if left unchecked, what it can lead to. As well as some tips on how to reduce it.
