  1. Lower Inflammation to Uncover Your Personal Triggers

    Season 1, Episode 90

    Show notes

    Why can inflammatory triggers be so difficult to spot when symptoms are already constant? Elizabeth Yarnell explains how a high baseline of inflammation can mask reactions to foods, products, and other exposures. She shares a detective-work approach to reducing variables by cleaning up foods and personal care products, helping calm the body and narrow the list of possible suspects. "Remember, every symptom is your body's way of communicating. We just need to learn the language."
