There’s a new term circulating these days: metaflammation (metabolic inflammation).

It refers to consistent low levels of inflammation throughout the body and is being linked with chronic metabolic diseases like obesity and diabetes. Think of it like a low grade fever that never goes away. Inflammation isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s a natural response that can actually help your body get through some tough times and then dissipate. However, it’s a different story when it never goes away. Even if it seems inescapable, there are simple (sometimes drastic) steps that can be taken to resist father time and the spiral towards poor health as we age.

Meet Jim:
On this week’s episode we’re speaking again with Jim LaValle R.Ph.,C.C.N.M.T.,ND (trad). Jim is an internationally recognized clinical pharmacist, author, board-certified clinical nutritionist, and expert and educator in integrative and precision health and is widely recognized for his work with metabolic disorders. This week is all about metabolic issues and how to combat them as we chat with Jim about his experience in helping with these issues and some emerging research surrounding these problems. We talk about metaflammation and inflammaging, how a specific diet and nutrition can actually decrease your risk, and how one supplement provides a multi-faceted approach to protect you against many of the things we talk about today.
