Good Morning!The last couple of newsletters have talked about fighting inflammation, but how do you know if you even have any inflammation to fight? The signs of inflammation are pretty vast, which just goes to show how connected everything really is in the body. If you experience any of the following, chances are good that inflammation is playing a role: Achy/stiff joints GI issues (stomach upset, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, etc) Fatigue Skin issues (rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, etc) Irregular heartbeat or other forms of heart disease Insulin resistance/Type 2 Diabetes Restless leg syndrome Headaches/Migraines Asthma/Allergies Anxiety/Depression
Unfortunately, this list can go on and on and on. And, as you can see, each of these signs & symptoms represents a different bodily system, from the digestive system to the cardiovascular system, meaning inflammation can affect anything and everything. It’s important to keep in mind that inflammation doesn’t necessarily cause these issues (though it may in some situations) but is easily a contributory factor and can exacerbate many underlying issues. It may seem like inflammation is inevitable these days, but it doesn’t need to be. If you’re curious to learn more about a symptom you’ve been experiencing, I’d love to hear about it and help you get to the root of what’s going on. Stay well,
Bethany
