Today’s modern diet that is loaded with an overabundance of calories, additives in our foods, and pesticide contamination may be contributing to the rise in metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes, autoimmune disorders, increased food allergies, chronic systemic inflammation, and other autoinflammatory diseases.
Many have moved towards adopting an anti-inflammatory diet by incorporating Mediterranean-type eating patterns which comprise mostly of fresh vegetables, fruits, little to no red meats, and plenty of healthy plant-based fats that contain high levels of Omega 3 fatty acids. This type of diet provides great anti-inflammatory benefits and is great for helping the body reduce chronic inflammation.
Of the many components found in anti-inflammatory type foods, a few stand out as superfoods with regards to their ability to control and reduce inflammation. But first, let’s take a look at common foods that cause inflammation in the body.
Common Foods that Cause Inflammation:
1. Fast Food
2. Sugar
3. Processed and packaged foods
4. Gluten
5. Dairy
By adopting a holistic lifestyle, one can benefit by avoiding the foods that cause inflammation in the body. What’s even more fascinating to learn is that most of the remedies used to fight inflammation can be stocked in the kitchen.
There is a range of herbs and natural remedies that if included in the regular diet can help decimate inflammation. Best holistic anti-inflammatory foods include:
1) Turmeric:
Turmeric is known to possess a chemical called curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Curcumin works by limiting the production of molecules called cytokines, which are a significant cause of inflammation in the human body.
Turmeric is essential in fighting inflammation in people with arthritis. It can be consumed with tea and hot water. It is also available in the form of capsules, tablets, teas, etc.
2) Ginger:
Ginger has been known to cure chronic illnesses even before the age of modern medicine. Many of the gingers’ components have shown anti-inflammatory properties that limit the production of cytokines.
Components of Ginger like gingerol and zingerone may reduce the inflammation associated with kidneys, colitis, brain damage, and breast cancer. Ginger can also reduce inflammation and muscle soreness after intensive exercise.
3) Fish Oil and Avocado Oil:
Fish oil contains omega-three acids, which can decrease inflammation associated with heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and other conditions. Omega 3 also consists of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) And docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). DHA is known to reduce cytokine levels and improve gut health.
Eating fatty fish like mackerel, wild salmon, and sardines can help in providing the body with omega levels to fight inflammation.
Olive oil is renowned as one of the healthiest fat that is recommended for consumption. It reduces the risk of heart disease, brain cancer, and other severe health conditions. Extra virgin olive oils have far greater anti-inflammatory properties than refined olive oil, and thus are more recommended.
4) Purple Skin Fruits:
Fruits like blueberries and grapes have an antioxidant called Resveratrol. Resveratrol helps reduce inflammation in patients with heart disease, gastritis, insulin resistance, and ulcerative colitis. It is also known to help obese individuals maintain their blood sugar levels.
This antioxidant can also be found in red wine and peanuts, although the content of Resveratrol in red wine isn’t high enough to do the job.
5) Green Tea:
Green tea has a variety of health benefits to offer. However, its most significance comes in the form of its ability to fight inflammation. It has been known to disrupt functions that cause inflammation of the body. It is also known to have positive effects on inflammation in people with metabolic disorders.
6) Acai Berries:
Acai berries are the powerhouse of all berries with numerous documented anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. These amazing berries act as antioxidants, activate detoxifying enzymes, prevent cancer cell proliferation, induce cancer cell death, inhibit some of the beginning of the formation of tumors, and prevent cancer cell invasion.
7) Vegetables:
Leafy green vegetables like Collards, spinach, and kale contain a compound called quercetin. Quercetin helps to reduce the levels of inflammation in the body significantly. Beets, celery, broccoli, and bok choi are other examples of great anti-inflammatory vegetables that have numerous anti-inflammatory benefits and detox benefits as well.
8) Avocados:
Avocados are a wonderful and tasty source of healthy monounsaturated fats (MUFA’s) and contain antioxidants, reducing the body’s inflammatory response. In fact, the anti-inflammatory properties of avocados are so great that they may actually offset less healthy food choices. We’re not advocating adding avocado to your fast food burger with a gluten-filled bun!
Studies show the implementation of an organic diet to combat issues of chronic inflammation. Diets that are high in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats will work wonders in alleviating the dreadful symptoms of inflammation from the body.
● Start making your changes by eating at home instead of eating out.
● When you shop, buy around the edges of the grocery store to avoid buying boxed and canned foods.
● Switch to organic foods to avoid the inflammatory and cancer-causing effects of glyphosate and other pesticides that are found in non-organic foods. When you eat nutrient-dense foods instead of ‘filler’ foods that are processed, you’ll find that you aren’t as hungry and eat less. Remember that when it comes to proper nutrition, it’s about quality over quantity.

Not feeling well and looking for help with your condition, diagnosis, or symptoms that won’t go away no matter what you have tried? Our holistic biological health coaches can help you! Our coaches teach you how your body works, what the underlying cause of your condition or symptoms are, and how to fix and address them using long-term solutions that are data-driven and that work!
Our holistic biological health coaches have a deep understanding of advanced functional testing and genetics testing, along with much experience in complex cases.
Our biological coaching team works with you to empower and teach you how to understand and interpret your lab results, what your results mean, how they are connected to your health conditions or symptoms, and most importantly, what to do with the information, how to put protocols together based on your lab results, and when to reorder your various labs to track progress.
You will become your own healing master learning how to navigate the healing process, how to modify your protocols, when and how to detoxify your organs and cells from the toxins discovered on your lab results. You will learn the importance of tracking your assessment forms and symptom sheets and how to troubleshoot your healing process.
In addition, you have the opportunity to learn how to understand YOUR genetic blueprint – Our coaches are trained in the field of epigenetics and understand implicitly that YOU are in control of your own gene expression and how your genes either work for or against you. If you choose to add genetic testing into your program, your genetic blueprint information can be used not only to help drive your plan of action for healing, but also it can be used to understand your body’s unique nutrition, lifestyle, sleeping, eating, and physical activity needs are so that you can optimize once you are healed.
Get help from our functional nutrition coaches who understand that there is no ONE diet that is right for everyone. Our nutrition coaches work hand in hand with our biological coaches so if you need any lab work done or specific protocols that would require supplement protocols, you have a team working on your behalf and your nutrition coach would make recommendations for which other team coaches would be able to help you.
Your coaches will teach and empower you to learn how to determine and navigate your diet modifications which are decided based on your extensive intake forms, history, and your lab data that your coaches may want to order for you. Based on all of this information, they will teach you what foods to eat and not eat according to various conditions and why.
Your functional nutrition coach will help you learn what substitutes you can use when there are certain foods you may need to stop eating for a period of time, how to put your meals together based on your dietary needs per your lab data, how and when to incorporate gut repair protocols, and what lifestyle modifications you want to address based on your labs and your health conditions.
Nutritional coaching can be a great tool by itself or combined with coaching from our biological coaches. You can schedule with either our biological or nutrition coaches and they can help you get started and make recommendations as needed.
Many people who have successfully mentored with our nutrition coaches have had past issues such as:
Mindset, past and present traumas, and limiting belief systems are some of the biggest barriers to healing, so much in fact that gene expression and biological ‘engines’ of the human body can change for the worse because of it.
In the many years, we have been working in the field of holistic medicine, helping people who have tried everything else with no success or little success, we have discovered how great of an impact our thoughts, beliefs, and past and present trauma, and chronic stress can be to the human body, mind, and spirit.
The rate of recovery and healing for those who place emphasis on creating new neurological pathways to imprint new and healthy mindsets and belief systems in how they perceive themselves and the world around them is greatly improved when the psychological aspect of mindset and integration of mind, body, the spirit is addressed through repatterning of the mind and body neurology.
By removing barriers discovered from traumas, mindset, and conscious/unconscious patterns that are not congruent for healing, health, and vitality, you set yourself up for the best outcomes in your healing journey. Healing only occurs when the physical, emotional, and mental barriers to healing are removed.
Therefore we incorporate mind, body, spirit integration work into our programs and in doing so, we see exponential increases in positive outcomes with our clients. We have put together the most comprehensive ‘whole person’ approach in the world, and this is why our results are so successful.
Our Emotional Processing, Stress Release, & Neurological Repatterning coaches work with you to create new neurological connections, anchor new neurology, and habits, and show you how to become aware of any conscious or unconscious belief systems that may be holding you back from healing and total health.
You are welcome to try one or two appointments to see what you think. We typically recommend a minimum of 6 sessions to make an accurate assessment of how this type of modality is working for you.
Here are some of the modalities our Emotional Processing, Stress Release, & Neurological Repatterning coaches use for brain and body repatterning:
Breathwork is more than just a simple exercise of intentional breathing. Specialized breathwork techniques are used to facilitate major transformation and healing by encompassing a wide range of therapeutic practices that are extremely powerful in providing immediate relief for pulling people out of fight or flight (the amygdala hijack we teach about in Part 2 of our Mastering Trauma Masterclass).
This vagus nerve activation through breath work activates the rest/digest (parasympathetic nervous system), stimulates healing, reduces blood pressure, reduces the cortisol stress response, regulates hormone and blood glucose activity, and heart rate variability (the biological stress response). It rewires the body for self-regulation of the nervous system in a manner that optimizes the body and creates resilience in times of stress.
Yoga breath therapy allows you to disconnect from the mind chatter, mind racing, and negative self-talk and reconnect with your body your energy. From this elevated state of awareness, you are able to facilitate healing, growth, and expansion. And if you are looking for some expansion of your body/mind/spirit awareness, then this type of breathwork can be nourishing and can facilitate the next layer of peace, love, gratitude, connection, clarity, and insights.
In the many years, we have been working in the field of holistic medicine, helping people who have tried everything else with no success or little success, we have discovered how great of a damaging impact our thoughts, beliefs, and past and present trauma, and chronic stress (the fight or flight response) can be to the human body, mind, and spirit.
By becoming aware of how to regulate our own nervous system, and resolve traumas, mindset, and conscious/unconscious patterns that are not congruent for healing, health, and vitality, you set yourself up for the best outcomes in your healing journey. Healing only occurs when the physical, emotional, and mental barriers to healing are removed.
