Inflammation can manifest itself in the form of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, depression, and more. Typically, inflammation has been wreaking havoc inside one's body well before it leads to noticeable symptoms. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Ryan Greene, an osteopathic physician with many years of experience in human performance, sports medicine, nutrition, and the most cutting-edge recovery methods. Dr. Greene is also the co-founder and medical director of Monarch Athletic Club, a medically centered health club. In today's conversation, Dr. Greene and I discuss the biggest drivers of inflammation, the difference between acute vs chronic inflammation, early warning signs of excess inflammation, how to measure your inflammation levels by analyzing certain metabolic markers, the best dietary approach to reduce inflammation, and much more.
