Bonus: Eat To Lower Inflammation, with Dr. Prudence Hall

Bonus topic!Looking for a saner way to start the New Year? We pressed pause on big, brittle resolutions and asked Dr. Prudence Hall to map a simpler path: anti-inflammatory eating you can actually live with. The approach is grounded and flexible—eat from the land, lean on fiber-rich plants and clean proteins, and make healthy fats a daily habit. Along the way, we talk through realistic meals, smart beverage choices, and a short elimination test that lets you pinpoint your personal food triggers without guesswork.And yes, dark chocolate gets a thoughtful green light when it’s 72 to 85 percent cacao.Personalization is the throughline. If you suspect gluten, soy, dairy, or nightshades are stirring up bloat, joint pain, headaches, or afternoon crashes, try a focused two-week elimination and a single-day reintroduction to read your body’s signals clearly. No moralizing, no shame—just data you can use to build meals that make you feel steady and clear. Save this for your January reset and pick one upgrade to start: swap refined grains for wild rice, switch your cooking fat to extra-virgin olive oil, or trade an afternoon slump for matcha.Connect with Dr. Hall at drprudencehall.com.See you next week as we resume the series on How to Stop Being Your Own Worst Enemy!Support the show🌸 Liked this episode?
