Inflammation is often hidden or silent, something that we can\u2019t see or feel, but manifests itself as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, depression, and more. Typically, inflammation has been raging inside for a while before you even notice there\u2019s anything wrong. The three biggest drivers of inflammation are all lifestyle factors\u2014gut health, diet, and chronic stress.\nIn this episode of my new Masterclass series, I am interviewed by my good friend and podcast host, Dhru Purohit, about inflammation, what\u2019s causing it, and how to reduce it. We discuss the critical component of gut health and how 60-70% of our immune system is in our gut, as well as tests to identify inflammation in the body, foods to avoid, and the importance of restful sleep.\n\xa0\nDhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness industry.
