my top 5 anti inflammatory habits ↴
my inflammation got soo bad during 2023 & beginning of 2024 due to stress & chronic nervous system disregulation!! So I made reducing my inflammation a big priority in 2024 🥹
Here’s what made the biggest difference for me:
1) blood sugar balance: Being mindful of how you eat carbs is key to blood sugar balance. Taking an apple cider vinegar shot before meals helps your body not absorb glucose as quickly reducing insulin spike. Insulin resistance causes major inflammation in the body.
Also eating greens first at meals, taking walks after eating, eating high protein & fats, and not skipping breakfast help!
2) daily detoxing: detoxing habits help keep your lymphatic system flowing & supports your liver. Proper liver function supports hormone balance & gut health.
I love dry brushing, jumping/rebounding, red light therapy, sauna, chlorophyll, oil pulling 1st thing in the morning, castor oil packs at night
3) managing stress: having unbalanced cortisol can create gut and hormone imbalances + lots of inflammation! Learn how to manage stress & anxiety + release tension & stored trauma in the body.
somatic healing, breathinggg, meditation, affirmations, therapy, slowing down, vagus nerve stimulation
4) prioritizing protein & healthy fats: eating more protein & fats instead of a lot of carbs will help keep your blood sugar more balanced & your gut less inflamed!
shoot for at least 100g daily which is about 30-40g per meal! Really make this a priority at breakfast
5) exercising consistently: exercise helps to balance cortisol & boost endorphins! It promotes blood flow which helps our lymphatic system. Doing low impact workouts doesn’t spike cortisol as much as high intensity
my favorite is low impact movement & strength training 4-5x weekly + walking

Inflammation can stem from various issues, including chronic stress and poor diet. Adopting anti-inflammatory habits can lead to better overall health and wellness. 1. Blood Sugar Balance: High blood sugar can lead to inflammation. To maintain stable glucose levels, consume a balanced mix of proteins, healthy fats, and fibrous carbohydrates. Using apple cider vinegar before meals can reduce blood sugar spikes. 2. Daily Detoxing: Engaging in detox practices such as dry brushing, sauna sessions, or oil pulling can optimize liver function and enhance lymphatic flow. These habits support hormone regulation and detoxifying processes in your body. 3. Stress Management: Finding effective ways to manage stress is crucial. Techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, and somatic therapies help reduce cortisol levels, mitigating inflammatory responses. 4. Prioritizing Protein and Healthy Fats: A protein-rich diet, coupled with healthy fats, can help balance blood sugar. Aim for at least 100g of protein daily, distributing intake across meals, especially breakfast. 5. Consistent Exercise: Regular physical activity promotes blood circulation and lymphatic health. Emphasizing low-impact workouts can prevent cortisol spikes while enjoying health benefits. Incorporate strength training and moderate walks into your routine to combat inflammation and support holistic well-being.
