Summary
Today we have Dr Jenna back with us - this time to talk about Eating for Inflammation - you might wonder why I have an immunologist here to talk about inflammation - that will become very clear throughout our conversation.
In today's podcast we talk about inflammation as a concept - why it's becoming so popular in the medical literature and why it's so relevant to a host of different medical specialties.
Today we cover the following:
- What do we mean by inflammation?
- The benefits of inflammation
- Symptoms of inflammation imbalance
- How we measure inflammation
- Stopping the inflammation triggers
- The microbiome and inflammation
- Obesity and inflammation imbalance
- Sugar and inflammation
If I was to summarise our conversation in a dietary way of life - it would be the Mediterranean diet. As we alluded to in our conversation, the Mediterranean diet is known to be anti-inflammatory, and now you have an understanding of what we mean by anti-inflammation.
Inflammation isn't something that we need to radically remove entirely, its use in human biology needs to be understood. But in the context of our modern lifestyles we are usually out of balance.
If you have a copy of my new book - Eat to Beat Illness - make sure you check out the page where I have a diagram looking at what is pro and what is anti-inflammatory in our modern world.

| 0:00.0 | Today's podcast is sponsored by Zoe and I'm pretty convinced that anyone listening to this |
| 0:04.7 | podcast right now has an invested interest in health. Maybe you've tried the recipes, |
| 0:09.6 | taken advice from guests, all like me you see food as medicine. But to any of you ever feel like |
| 0:15.4 | you're doing all the right stuff to live a healthy lifestyle but you still feel fatigued in the |
| 0:20.8 | afternoons. It could be because the advice that we give to most people simply isn't enough |
| 0:27.0 | for your unique body. And I'm a believer that personalized nutrition could be beneficial if you |
| 0:32.8 | find yourself in this pattern. And Zoe's groundbreaking science does what generic advice can't do. They |
| 0:39.1 | look at your blood fat and blood sugar control and you've got microbiome to help you understand how |
| 0:44.8 | different foods affect your body so you can feel your best. Nailing your own nutrition can have huge |
| 0:50.5 | benefits on long term health as well as relieving more immediate problems like fatigue. So magnesium |
| 0:56.0 | supplements for example can help one person sleep better but they might have little effect on |
| 1:00.3 | someone else. And as Professor Tim said in our conversation personalized nutrition takes away |
| 1:06.5 | that trial and error and that very long process of trying to figure out what's going on inside |
| 1:10.8 | your body on your own. Zoe has been genuinely life changing for its members who've reported feeling |
| 1:17.3 | less tired after lunch and that the energy levels are far more consistent. Discover what eating for |

| 1:44.0 | older as the autumn of life. I've actually found it to be highly gratifying and we've actually |
| 1:48.6 | discussed the many benefits of age and the misconceptions of aging with neuroscientists, |
