“Patients know I am all about regeneration, so they requested I host this episode to help everyone gain a better understanding of inflammation and the many ways to keep it in check at home and naturally in order to avoid health challenges.” 

“In many cases, you can’t see it or feel it, but inflammation may slowly be damaging your body. Inflammation plays an essential role in our health, but too much of a good thing can wreak havoc on the body.”
