Are you interested in inflammation?  Have you been worried about losing belly fat?  In this episode, we dive into learning more about the silent killer, inflammation, and our overall health. Today, I talk with Dr. Barry Sears. He is a leading authority on the dietary control of inflammation and its resolution. He is the author of more than 50 scientific publications. He holds 14 U.S. Patents in the areas of intravenous cancer drug delivery systems and the dietary regulation of hormonal responses for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. He has also written 19 books on dietary modulation of hormonal responses, including the #1 New York Times best-seller, The Zone. We discuss inflammation in the body, and what we can do about it. We discuss how to get into the Zone and stay in it, and why we need to pay attention to our bodies. We discuss the link between body fat and inflammation.

Questions I asked:
