Break the Inflammation Cycle, Part 4: The Exit — Anti-Inflammatory Eating That Actually Works

This is the 4th and the final episode in the inflammation cycle: stress hijacks your cravings, wrecks your sleep, and pushes you toward quick fixes that make everything worse. Now it's time for the exit.

In Part 4 of "Break the Inflammation Cycle," Ashok and Meera break down anti-inflammatory eating—not as a restrictive diet, but as a direction. It's not about perfection. It's about adding the foods that calm your system and crowding out the ones that don't.

This episode covers: what chronic inflammation actually does to your body, the four pillars of anti-inflammatory eating (omega-3s, polyphenols, fiber, and fermented foods), sneaky inflammation triggers beyond obvious junk food, and how to build an anti-inflammatory plate without overthinking it.

You've got the knowledge. Now run your own experiment.
