Hello and welcome to another episode of Sigma Nutrition Radio. I am your host, Danny Lennon, head of Performance

Nutrition, here at Sigma Nutrition and Performance. This is episode 144 today, and this is a

solo episode in which I'm going to take a specific topic that has came via a listener question

and delve into some of the evidence

an awful lot but maybe hasn't been addressed full on and this actually came about from a question or received a while back on social media from

podcast listener Joshua Isaac.

So thank you for the question, Joshua.

with inflammation to begin with? And so when I wanted to try and tackle this question, I think

it was probably a nice segue into really getting behind even more context around inflammation

behind that because I think so often there's a lot of confusion around that term, not only

in in a

bad in what circumstances that come up how to address it and not only have to to to test for

it but then obviously with this being a nutrition based show we've often talked about potentially linking diet and inflammation.

But then so often people maybe take that too far, and we hear talk of anti-inflammatory diets and special type of maybe supplementation or foods to try and combat inflammation.

And then they're being touted as this kind of cure-all

thing that will take care of many disease states or where there's a lot of inflammation
