— Janet Carosella

So when you ask for food, spices and herbs that can help reduce inflammation other than turmeric, Janet, I would ask you to look deeper into what your overall diet looks like. Is it an anti-inflammatory diet? Now, I always have to bring this up, the nightshades because you have some joint pain. Some individuals are, are sensitive to nightshades, your tomato potato, eggplant and peppers. And when they eat that, they just, um, they get inflamed and their joints hurts. In my experience over the last, you know, over the decades, it really is more of a general inflammatory response based on either there's an offending food in your diet and it doesn't mean you that you've had it your whole life. What I am seeing, and I was surprised at like 15, 20 years ago, is I would start seeing a lot of women in their fifties and sixties who never had an issue with food at all of a sudden being not being able to handle, it's usually dairy or gluten or, you know, some other allergen, but it's those two are the, the top ones. Uh, and once we remove those, and I use this, uh, supplement called UltraInflamX from Metagenics, um, they're, they're able to decrease their level of inflammation, um, and Changing your diet if you need to change it. And then I would suggest working with, again, a naturopath or a functional medicine practitioner.
