Inflammation isn’t always loud. It doesn’t always look like a flare or a swollen joint. Sometimes it shows up as that low hum of feeling ‘off’, tired after eating, puffy in the morning, foggy by 3pm. The kind of off that becomes so normal you stop noticing it.
I’m not here to tell you to never eat any of this again. I’m telling you because awareness is the first move. When you know what’s in something, you get to choose.
Real food doesn’t need a label to convince you it’s good for you.
Use olive oil, butter, ghee, or tallow for cooking. Reach for fruit when you want something sweet. Choose whole, recognizable ingredients more often than not. None of this is about perfection, it’s about giving your body a little less to fight.
