Maintaining a healthy whole body inflammation response
Inflammation is one of the hot button topics that stimulates a lot of discussion. How can we explore the subject in an informative manner? There is a lot of confusion about inflammation and it’s role in human health. Is inflammation a cause or a result of dysfunction. Can it be both? Is inflammation a disease or a symptom, or is it a natural response to some dysfunction in our health? There are many thoughts and opinions on this and they don’t all agree. It is your challenge and responsibility to understand the role of inflammation in your unique case, and determine your best path.
In this interview, we will examine the MegaFood approach to inflammation. MegaFood has partnered with Dr. Andrew Weil and Dr. Tiereona LowDog to create a formula to address a healthy whole body healthy inflammation response. They have created a product called Extinguish. We will explore this product and the rationale for the formula. There are many products available to support a normal, healthy inflammatory status. MegaFood Extinguish is unique in it’s formulation and we will discuss each nutrient and it’s role in the formula.
It is critical to remember that the use of a supplement for inflammation is just one of many things you could or should do to address your health issues. Things such as lifestyle, diet, exercise, genetics, trauma, medical and so on, are different for each person, and your solution will likely be unique for you. Ask yourself, why do I have this problem? The more you understand your personal situation, the more likely you are to find ways of moving towards better health. A formula for inflammation support can be an important part of your solution, but should not be the only one. You must identify and address any underlying factors.
MegaFood has partnered with Dr. Andrew Weil and you can find his approach at his website where he has a discussion of inflammation and provides details on an anti-inflammatory diet and food pyramid. CLICK HERE to go to Dr. Weil’s Anti-Inflammatory Diet webpage.

My Opinion
My personal opinion is that in order to have a healthy inflammation response, you must have a healthy omega-3 to omega-6 ratio and balance in the body. Most Americans have too much pro-inflammatory omega-6 and too little anti-inflammatory omega-3. You must shift this balance for long term support. We have many interviews here on HealthQuestPodcast.com that discuss this in detail. Listen to Dr. William Lands and Dr. Doug Bibus for good foundational knowledge.
