The Practitioner’s Toolkit for Inflammation: Acute, Systemic and Chronic Inflammation and the Strategies That Work
This episode equips clinicians with a practical, layered approach to identifying, modulating, and resolving inflammation—across acute flare-ups, chronic systemic inflammation and disease-specific contexts—using nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted supplementation.
Inflammation is not the enemy—but dysregulated, unresolved inflammation is the root of most chronic disease. In this episode, Chris Meletis, ND provides practitioners with context-specific tools, not one-size-fits-all anti-inflammatory protocols.
