Inflammation

Your immune system protects you against invaders, aka germs and is responsible for healing after an injury.

When you get a cut on your arm, then see redness and swelling, that is your immune system doing it’s job. As healing progresses and a scab develops, then inflammation goes away.

How does chronic inflammation work?

A poor diet, toxin exposure, chronic stress, and lack of restorative sleep all work together to fuel chronic inflammation — the underlying spark in many long-term diseases.

This turns on your immune system, however there is no exact germ to fight or cut to heal. In essence the immune system turns against your own body.

Gut issues can develop: heartburn, bloating, nausea, diarrhea.
Mental fog, anxiety, changes in appetite, altered hunger cues.
Joint pain problems.
Skin problems, acne, rashes, itchy areas.
Endocrine problems: thyroid disease, adrenal dysfunction, altered sex hormones.

What do I do?

GET THE JUNK OUT OF YOUR HOUSE NOW!
Stay away from fried food/processed food.
Do not consume seed oils like vegetable oil, corn oil, sunflower or safflower.
Ditch the drama in your life, you don’t have time or energy for it anyway.
Turn off the TV and go outside.
Go to bed early. Seriously folks, go to bed.
