Concentration spans are getting shorter, and inflammation is not going away! In fact, it’s more rampant than ever. Here is my attempt at explaining it in 90 seconds for you.
Imagine grasping a condition so well, that when you understand it inside and out, and then address it, you can erase most chronic illnesses and bolster your immune system. So you do not have to fear any bug or virus.
Introducing: Inflammation. Aka “the silent killer..” Aka “What lies beneath”… all chronic illnesses.
What is it? This video explains all. And here is an excerpt from The Vitality Code (Aug 2023)”
“My previous book, The Vitality Secret (2016), revealed that chronic inflammation is the underlying cause of almost every chronic illness that exists today. Since 2015, I’ve helped my clients reverse a variety of symptoms of chronic inflammation, including, but not limited to, eczema, acne, rosacea, IBS, pre-diabetes, type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis, gout, migraines, obesity, low testosterone in men, chronic pain, brain fog, and depression.
The Western world has become increasingly toxic, leading us into a pandemic of sickness or, more accurately, a pandemic of chronic inflammation. Not only does chronic inflammation underlie virtually every chronic illness, aka pre-existing conditions,and comorbidities, it accelerates the aging process. It has aptly been dubbed inflammaging.
In this book, I will present to you a cutting-edge way to approach your health.
Sadly, most people live life suboptimally. Many are dependent on a “sick care” system where aging adults are prescribed a cocktail of life-debilitating, and Vitality-draining medications. The body does not get sick because of a pharmaceutical drug deficiency. While pill cocktails are a social norm, they are absolutely not a biological norm. The body is intelligently designed to heal itself when what stands in the way of good health is removed and we provide it with what it needs.”
DEFINITION
“You’re likely thinking: “What exactly is inflammation?” There are two types.
Acute inflammation occurs when you injure yourself. For instance, you sprain your knee. Your body warms up the wound causing it to swell. It fills up with specific fluids designed to heal the area, and it becomes painful. This ensures no further damage is done to the injury. This kind of rapid inflammatory response is normally short-lived.
Systemic inflammation is similar, but different! It’s when the immune system deals with invaders. The immune system does not recognize them. When it comes to “food,” a solid rule of thumb is: If it is fake, man-made with added chemicals, or preservatives, laced in pesticides and herbicides, fed antibiotics, pumped with hormones, farm-raised, the chances are your immune system will not like it and consider it an invasion — for your protection. A friend and ex-client recently asked me “what is a toxin?” I said: “Anything that is not in alignment with The Nature Codes.”
“If you do not recognize an ingredient, your body won’t either.”
#Inflammation
Your immune system will likely perceive that the body is under attack. Inflammation itself is a very healthy response. Without it, we’d die. It can be dangerous because when left unchecked or ignored (normally unknowingly because symptoms are often ignored), it lingers beneath the surface, worsening, until something drastic happens, seemingly out of the blue, like a heart attack or stroke. It can also be dangerous because you can have inflammation without a symptom telling you so, which is why I believe it is important to test regularly for systemic inflammation. I would argue it is one of the most important tests we can do – and rarely do.
Toxins come in many forms, and each can trigger an inflammatory response. Food is just one of many considerations. Healing the body normally requires treating the whole — a holistic approach — hence the Physical, Mental, Emotional and Energetic Pillars of Vitality presented to you in this book.
Chronic inflammation is known to be the foundation for almost every single chronic illness and disease including most skin conditions like eczema, acne and psoriasis, asthma, diabetes, depression arthritis, hypertension (high blood pressure), obesity, cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke), cancer, neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s (now dubbed type-3 diabetes) and Parkinson’s. That list is not exhaustive.
Chronic inflammation increases our sensitivity to pain, and it accelerates biological aging. This means inflammation makes you age faster. (It has been dubbed inflammaging.) Inflammation accelerates free-radical damage and suppresses healthy immune function. This is why you will likely know 50-year-olds who look 60 and 50-year-olds who look 40.
The great news is that systemic inflammation is reversible, and naturally. Anti-inflammatory drugs on the market normally treat acute inflammation, and some can actually cause systemic inflammation. The beauty about all of this, is that in time, you’ll have full faith in your own innate immune system and know that Nature makes no mistakes. In my opinion, the “Nature Codes” are superior to any medical intervention when it comes to chronic illness and disease.
When you do what is necessary to reduce or eliminate inflammation from your body, you’ll notice symptoms ease and hopefully disappear, hormones might balance, your energy will likely improve, and you’ll feel more optimized and Vital.
