It plays a role in everything from fatigue and joint pain to heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune conditions. And for many people, it’s quietly building long before symptoms appear.

If you’ve ever wondered what inflammation actually is and how everyday habits can influence it, this one’s for you.

Chronic inflammation doesn’t stay in one place.

Over time, it can quietly affect nearly every system in the body — from the brain and heart to digestion, joints, skin, and metabolism.

What makes it tricky is that chronic inflammation is often silent, building long before symptoms even show up. Daily habits like food choices, stress levels, sleep quality, exercise, and gut health all influence how inflammation shows up over time.

Understanding the whole-body impact is a powerful step toward prevention and long-term health.

Inflammation is the common thread connecting many chronic conditions — long before symptoms feel serious.

Heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, cancer… these don’t just appear overnight. They develop through ongoing, low-grade inflammation influenced by daily habits such as food choices, stress, sleep, movement, and gut health.

Dr. Tracey L. Stevens and nurse Marcia L. McCoy wrote the foreword for the new edition of the FAME book. They are both passionate about educating people about the impact inflammation has on our health and about using small, consistent changes to help calm inflammation and support long-term health.

Inflammation isn’t always the enemy — it’s how your body heals.

But when it sticks around too long, it can quietly drive fatigue, pain, digestive issues, brain fog, and chronic disease.

The tricky part?
Chronic inflammation often flies under the radar.

Small daily choices — what you eat, how you move, how you sleep, and how you manage stress — all shape your inflammatory response over time.

Understanding the difference between acute vs. chronic inflammation is the first step toward supporting your body’s natural balance ✨
