Inflammation happens to all of us at some point or another. It’s your body’s response to injury or damage. Whether you develop an infection or break an arm, your immune system triggers inflammation to begin the healing process. It’s a self defense mechanism. Contrary to popular belief, inflammation isn’t all bad but if it goes on for too long or you have too much, it can lead to health issues. On this episode Emily and I talk about how to test your level of inflammation, ways to lower inflammation and much more.
