What is inflammation?
Inflammation is your body’s response to perceived threats. Your immune system sends white blood cells to address the issue (injury, bacteria, toxins). Chronic inflammation occurs when this response doesn’t stop, causing swelling, pain, and fatigue.
How is inflammation caused?

- Chronic stress
- Lack of sleep
- Environmental toxins

Everyone can experience inflammation, but some are more prone to chronic inflammation:
- People with autoimmune conditions
- Those with diets high in processed foods

- People who sleep less than five hours a night
- Those with genetic predispositions
