What does inflammation have to do with some of the most common health issues that people from all over the world experience? Leading functional medicine expert, Dr. Will Cole shares insights from his new book, The Inflammation Spectrum, that teaches you to love your body enough to nourish it with delicious healing foods.
Topics Discussed in this Episode:
- What goes on in our bodies when we have inflammation
- Why inflammation is becoming more prevalent in today’s society
- Going for the holistic, functional approach to inflammation
- What causes inflammation
- The elimination diet and how to determine what foods work and don’t work for you
- Bio-individuality as it relates to lifestyle factors
- Taking a look at your inflammatory habits
- Why you should practice intuitive eating
Key Takeaways:
- Problems arise when inflammation is out of check and the body’s regulatory system is off.
- On a clinical level, we live in a time where functional medicine is getting people the care that they need.
- What is the most effective option that causes you the least amount of side effects? That should be how you assess how you deal with anything in healthcare.
- The elimination diet is still a gold standard when it comes to finding out what foods work and don’t work for you.
- Food confusion is no fun, so cutting through food confusion is liberating and revolutionary for people.
- We like to separate mental health and physical health but mental health is physical health. Your mind and emotions impact your physiology, and your physiology impacts your mental health.
- It’s important to get to a place of clarity and stillness by lowering inflammation and balancing your body to have true intuition because sometimes hungriness and cravings can disguise as intuition.
Action Steps:
- Know your options when it comes to healing your body, and choose the one that is most effective that causes you the least amount of side effects.
- Find out what your body loves and what your body hates to personally modulate inflammation in a healthy, balanced way.
- Find out where you’re at in the inflammation spectrum and see where you should target your efforts.
- Practice self-love. Feed yourself what your body wants and don’t feed yourself what your body doesn’t want or doesn’t do well with.
