What you'll learn from this episode:
How inflammation is a natural, beneficial response that our bodies use to promote healing, but chronic inflammation leads to allergies, auto-immune disorders, and serious chronic illnesses.
All about polyunsaturated oils, why they are pro-inflammatory, and the two monounsaturated oils both Dr. Weil and Max prefer.
Factors influencing your inflammatory status that you have control over—the importance of diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management techniques, like breathwork, yoga, and mediation.
Which type of beans are easier on your digestion, and why Dr. Weil thinks lectins are a non-issue.
Inflammatory ingredients to avoid, and the wide variety of foods, herbs, drinks, and spices that Dr. Weil promotes for their anti-inflammatory flavonoids, phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals.
And much more!
