What does living a healthier life really look like?
According to Dr. Flaxman, it starts with going back to the basics—fueling your body with intention and consistency.
A strong foundation begins with an anti-inflammatory approach to eating, focusing on whole, unprocessed foods that support your body rather than work against it.
One of the most effective ways to do this is by following a Mediterranean-style diet, rich in nutrients and known for supporting heart health, reducing inflammation, and promoting overall wellness. Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in brain function and inflammation control.
Dr. Flaxman also emphasizes the importance of maintaining muscle by consuming at least 60g of protein daily, helping your body stay strong, energized, and resilient.
She recommends incorporating at least two servings of fish per week, along with foods like olive oil, nuts, and leafy greens to help your body function at its best.
Healthy living doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s about making simple, sustainable choices every day that add up over time.
