The Body on Fire – Inflammation

10 Hidden Signs You Might Be Inflammed

Chronic inflammation doesn’t always announce itself loudly. Here are ten subtle yet powerful signs your body might be giving you :

• Chronic Fatigue
  • You’re always tired – the kind of exhaustion sleep doesn’t fix.
• Skin Problems
  • Acne, eczema, or rashes that don’t clear up
• Mouth Symptoms
  • Swollen or bleeding gums, mouth inflammation or persistent bad breath – oral health is often a mirro of systemic inflammation
• Poor Sleep
  • Restless nights or waking up tired – inflammation can disrupt circadian rhythms and melatonin production.
• Frequent Infections
  • Getting sick often or taking longer to recover.
• Brain Fog & Mood Shifts
  • Trouble focusing, forgetfulness, mental fatigue, or low mood.
• Unexplained Weight Gain
  • Especially around the belly, as inflammation disrupts metabolism and insulin sensitvity.
• Cravings for Junk Food
  • You regularly crave sugar, salty snacks or processed foods.
• Aches and Pains
  • Ongoing unexplained discomfort in the joints, muscles, or body.
• Digestive Issues
  • Bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhoea, or food sensitivities.

Reset Your Body

The good news? Inflammation is reversible. With the right support and lifestyle shifts, you can calm it down. Dr. Lynn’s Detoxification and Rejuvenation Programme (DRP)—trusted for decades—helps clear toxins, restore balance, and spark natural healing. It’s the perfect reset if you feel burnt out or stuck in recurring symptoms.

Everyday Anti-Inflammatory Habits

Alongside the DRP, these daily habits make a big difference:

• Eat whole, anti-inflammatory foods; cut processed ones

• Get 7–9 hours of quality sleep

• Stay active

• Manage stress with breathwork, nature, or mindfulness

• Support gut health with fibre and probiotics

• Consider supplements for extra support

Pro Tip: Ask your doctor about testing C-reactive protein (CRP) or homocysteine levels—key markers of hidden inflammation.

Foods That FAN the FLAME

Omega-6 Overload

Vegetable oils (soybean, corn, sunflower) are common in packaged foods and high in omega-6. Too much, with too little omega-3, can fuel inflammation.
Better choice: Boost omega-3s with flaxseeds, walnuts, chia seeds, and fatty fish.

Too Much Alcohol

Even small amounts stress the body, while excess disrupts gut health and fuels inflammation.
Better choice: Limit intake and hydrate with water, coconut water, lemon water, or herbal tea.

Trans Fats

Common in fried foods, margarine, fast food, and baked goods, trans fats are artificial and strongly linked to inflammation.
Better choice: Skip items with “partially hydrogenated oils” and use healthy fats like coconut or avocado oil.

Artificial Sweeteners

Some sugar substitutes can disrupt gut bacteria and may trigger inflammation in sensitive people.
Better choice: Use natural options like honey or stevia.
