Debunking Nutrition Myths. Inflammation 101: What It Is, What It Isn’t, and What You Can Do.

You’ve probably heard that inflammation is the root of all disease—or maybe you’ve seen those posts telling you to cut out “inflammatory foods” like gluten, dairy, or sugar. But what if we’ve been getting it wrong?

In today’s episode, I’m unpacking one of the most overused and misunderstood terms in the wellness world: inflammation. We’re talking about what it actually is, when it’s helpful, when it becomes a problem, and what role nutrition really plays in all of this.

I’ll also share some of the most common myths floating around online—like whether seed oils are the enemy, if sugar is really to blame, and why those trendy food sensitivity tests might not be telling you what you think.

If you’ve ever felt confused or overwhelmed by conflicting health advice about inflammation, this episode is going to give you some clarity (and a little peace of mind).

Here’s a sneak peek of what we’ll get into:
• What inflammation actually does in the body
• Why “inflammatory foods” lists are often misleading
• The real lifestyle factors that may be fueling inflammation
• How perimenopause and menopause tie into the picture
• And what practical steps you can take to feel better and support your body

This isn’t about fear or food rules—it’s about understanding what’s real, what’s hype, and what actually helps.
