S2 E7: Is Inflammation Actually Making You Feel Like Shit?

Inflammation gets blamed for just about everything these days—sugar, seed oils, dairy, gluten, stress, alcohol… apparently even your salad dressing is out to get you.

But inflammation isn’t automatically bad. In fact, your body needs it.

In this episode of Stop Feeling Like Shit, Joe and Tiffany break down what inflammation actually is, the difference between acute and chronic inflammation, and whether you can really “feel” when your body is inflamed.

Then they play Inflammatory or Internet Bullshit? and rapid-fire through some of the biggest foods and habits blamed for inflammation online—from seed oils and sugar to gluten, alcohol, stress, and lack of sleep.

They also dig into what an “anti-inflammatory diet” really looks like, why eliminating entire food groups isn’t always the answer, and how wellness marketing can make eating way more complicated than it needs to be.

Because reducing your risk of chronic inflammation probably isn’t about fearing one ingredient—it’s about the boring stuff that actually matters: eating well overall, moving your body, sleeping, managing alcohol, not smoking, and addressing real health concerns with a healthcare professional.
