In this talk, Dr. Kharrazian reviews the many pathways through which inflammation impacts the body. In a nutshell, inflammation is like throwing fuel onto the fire. Wherever you already have issues with pain or inflammation, an inflammatory diet and other triggers will simply worsen those conditions. Aging is another consideration — as we age we naturally become more prone to inflammation due to the gradual decline of the body's antioxidant systems. You will learn about these mechanisms, how to find triggers of inflammation, and anti-inflammatory and antioxidant strategies to mitigate the damage.
