R1 Radio Eps 2 - Inflammation

In this episode, we challenge everything you thought you knew about inflammation. It’s not the villain it’s made out to be—in fact, it might just be the key to aging well, recovering faster, and staying READY in a chaotic world. We’ll explore why inflammation exists, how it works for (and against) us, and how to strike the balance between helpful stress and harmful overload. Whether you’re an athlete, a parent, or just trying to feel better in your body, this one’s for you. Thank you for subscribing.
