Why Anti-Inflammatory Eating Isn’t Just a Trend (And How Busy Moms Can Make It Work)
Feeling tired, bloated, or “off”? 🤍
Let’s talk inflammation — because so many of the women and moms I work with are feeling it right now.
With changing seasons, holiday stress, less sunlight, and comfort foods in full swing, inflammation loves November.
But here’s the good news:
You don’t need a strict cleanse or expensive supplements to feel better.
Just small whole-food-focused changes that help your body work for you, not against you.
✅ What is inflammation, really?
Inflammation is your body’s defense system — it jumps into action when you’re sick or injured.
But everyday stressors like:
Too little sleep
High stress
Lots of ultra-processed foods
Low activity
Blood sugar swings
…can keep the body stuck in chronic inflammation mode, leading to:
• fatigue
• brain fog
• digestive discomfort
• joint aches
• slower workout recovery
And that’s the last thing we need heading into holiday season.
✅ The Anti-Inflammatory Basics (simple + doable)
No food rules. No restriction.
Just more of the foods your body loves:
🥬 Colorful veggies
🫐 Berries
🫘 Beans + lentils
🫒 Extra virgin olive oil
🧄 Herbs + spices (ginger, turmeric, garlic, dill)
🐟 Omega-3 rich proteins (like tuna + salmon)
🍠 Seasonal fall produce — sweet potatoes, squash, Brussels sprouts
Think Mediterranean-inspired, busy-mom-approved.
✅ Real-Life Anti-Inflammatory Strategies
✔️ Add-don’t-subtract mindset
✔️ Pair carbs with protein + healthy fats
✔️ Flavor = consistency — use sauces + herbs
✔️ Make “building block” ingredients once/week
✔️ Remember that FUN foods fit too 😊
