Podcast describes a five-part anti-inflammation plan and a 12-week study of 110 people

Do you wake up tired, feel bloated after meals, carry stubborn belly fat, and wonder if it's just aging? Dr. Axe explores how chronic inflammation may contribute and shares a five-part protocol used in a 12-week study of 110 people. He breaks down what to put on your plate, how to move, spiritual practices for managing stress, the supplements participants took, and a simple daily habit. He also discusses reported changes in gut, heart, and hormonal health, oxidative stress, and biological age—and explains how to measure your baseline inflammation and track progress.
