In this episode Kate Boyle interviews holistic nutritionist Katie Hardie about inflammation—what it is, how food sensitivities and a leaky gut drive chronic inflammation, and why stress and lifestyle choices matter.
They cover how to test and identify triggers, practical anti-inflammatory meal ideas, and why strength training and better recovery are crucial for long-term health.
Listeners will walk away with simple actions: prioritize real whole foods, temporarily remove common triggers (sugar, alcohol, low-quality dairy/gluten), add protein and colorful veggies, schedule short daily recovery time, and consider guided support to speed results.
