Collection: What happens when you eat anti-inflammatory foods every day?

When I first began the anti-inflammatory diet, I was dealing with very specific health concerns. My goal was to lower inflammation throughout my body and reset my cortisol levels. At the time, I was experiencing daily anxiety and needed to calm my nervous system.

Week 1: A Surge of Energy

During the first week, I felt an incredible boost in energy. I had the motivation to exercise, practice yoga, and even perform better at work. The anti-inflammatory approach made me feel lighter, less bloated, and more focused.

Week 2: Why Carbs Matter

However, by the second week, I hit a wall. I realized I had cut out too many healthy carbs and natural sugars, which led to a crash in my energy levels. This is a common mistake when starting this diet.

Tip: Make sure to include balanced amounts of carbs, healthy fats, and natural sugars in your meals. These nutrients keep your energy stable and help you maintain the benefits of an anti-inflammatory lifestyle.

The Positive Effects

Once I adjusted my meals to include these essentials, the positive effects returned quickly. I experienced reduced bloating, steadier energy, and an overall sense of well-being.
