We hear it everywhere: “Eat an anti-inflammatory diet.”
But… what does anti-inflammatory really mean?

We explore two fascinating studies that challenge conventional wisdom: A brand-new randomized controlled trial in autoimmune disease

A a mindblowing study that reveals how you feel about food can shift your biology

• What really creates a healing environment — and how to start building it today

If you’ve ever felt confused by conflicting advice, overwhelmed by wellness trends, or anxious about what’s on your plate… this episode will bring you clarity, calm, and science-backed perspective.
