Inflammation is the body's repair signal. Acute inflammation is helpful. Chronic, low-grade, system-wide inflammation is the soil chronic pain grows in, and it's heavily influenced by what you eat. We've watched countless patients shave 30–50% off their baseline pain just by changing their nutritional inputs - without anything else changing.
The short list that consistently helps
- Three palm-sized servings of protein per day.
- Two to three handfuls of colorful vegetables.
- Healthy fats - olive oil, avocado, fatty fish.
- Less ultra-processed food and seed oils.
- Adequate water - bodyweight in pounds, divided in half, in ounces.
When to look deeper
If you've cleaned up your nutrition and pain or fatigue is still high, that's where our functional medicine programs come in - targeted lab work, gut and hormone analysis, and a structured plan. Most patients are surprised how much further they can get.
