Chronic Inflammation

Did you know that fatigue, muscle aches, joint stiffness, and weight gain or loss can be common symptoms of chronic inflammation? While these symptoms can have many causes, chronic low-level inflammation is increasingly recognized as one potential contributor.

Inflammation is a vital part of the immune system’s response to injury and infection. However, when the inflammatory response goes on too long or shows up where it’s not needed, it can become problematic. This type of inflammation – called chronic low-level inflammation – has been linked to health conditions including heart disease, certain types of cancer, cardio-respiratory disease, diabetes, and obesity.

In this engaging, evidence-based webinar, you will learn relevant research related to the causes of low-level chronic inflammation and how lifestyle choices such as nutrition, movement, sleep, and reframing stress can protect us from this type of “inflammation gone awry.” Walk away with an action plan of 1-2 changes you can make in your daily life to minimize your risk of low-level chronic inflammation and improve your health and well-being.

This class will be recorded and a one-week link to the recording will be shared with all registered participants. To receive incentive points, attend at least 80% of the live session or listen to the entire recording within one week. Request disability accommodations and access info.
