In this week's episode, Dr. Tim Crowe joins our Ambassador Lisa Costa-Bir to dig deep into the various phases of inflammation, what they look like, how to identify degrees of inflammation, and most importantly what we can do about it. Together, Dr. Tim and Lisa identify the differences between acute and chronic inflammation, and unpack the important concept of resolution of inflammation. There’s interesting discussion around the interconnected systems of the HPA axis, the gut-mind connection, and various lifestyle factors that can trigger and feed low grade inflammation, as well as the various everyday factors that can contribute to chronic inflammation leading to disease. Finally, they discuss the 'Holy Trinity' of managing chronic inflammation – diet, exercise and lifestyle, including therapeutic practices like forest bathing, colourful food choices (especially those high in anthocyanins), including healthy fats, manageable exercise routines and booking in for that sauna.
