In this episode, Sam Cartwright provides a clear and practical overview of inflammation — a natural and essential process that helps the body respond to injury and infection. While acute inflammation plays a vital role in healing, chronic inflammation can become a silent driver of many long-term health concerns. Sam explains how chronic inflammation can contribute to many common conditions, from eczema to migraines, and even changes in mood and energy.

Learn how dietary and lifestyle patterns can influence the body’s inflammatory response, and how small, consistent choices can make a meaningful difference over time. Sam discusses the foods and environmental factors that may fuel the fire of inflammation, and shares his list of top ten anti-inflammatory foods to include in your diet every day, such as colourful fruits and vegetables, omega-3 rich sources, and antioxidant-packed herbs and spices. Inflammation isn’t always visible, but every meal and lifestyle choice is a chance to calm the fire.
