Inflammaging No More: My Go-To Strategies for Aging in Reverse
Iโve been there, living with chronic inflammation that drained my energy, clouded my mind and left me feeling much older than my age. That persistent inflammation that steals your vitality, what biohackers call โinflammagingโ isnโt just some vague health buzzword. Itโs the fatigue, joint pain, skin flare-ups, brain fog and accelerated aging that so many of us have been told to accept as โnormal.โ But I discovered that it doesnโt have to be that way.
After years of struggling with unexplained symptoms, everything changed when I finally uncovered the root cause of my inflammation. Since then, Iโve dedicated myself to mastering the science and art of healing at the cellular level. Now, at the โOlistico Life Protocol: Biohack Your Biology & Reverse Your Age Retreatโ, I share these powerful tools and protocols with others who want to reclaim their health and vitality.
If youโre ready to start living an anti-inflammatory life, here are my top 12 go-to tips that you can begin using today:
1 Eat an Organic Diet and Upgrade Your Fats
Inflammation often starts with what we put on our plates. Herbicides and pesticides like glyphosate are major offenders, wreaking havoc on your gut and immune system. Choosing organic produce, grass-fed meats and wild-caught fish isnโt just a luxury, itโs essential. When it comes to fats, ditch the seed oils and processed vegetable oils loaded with inflammatory omega-6s. Instead, cook with organic cold-pressed avocado oil, extra-virgin olive oil, ghee or coconut oil to nourish your cells and calm inflammation.
2 Know Your Triggers
Everyoneโs body reacts differently. Common inflammatory triggers include gluten, dairy, alcohol and processed sugars, but your personal culprits might surprise you. Take time to observe how your body responds and consider an elimination diet or food sensitivity testing to pinpoint whatโs really causing your flare-ups.
3 Prioritize Protein
Clean, high-quality protein is your bodyโs building block for muscle, hormones, and cellular repair. Aim for a minimum of 80 to 120 grams a day to support strength and longevity. For women especially, maintaining muscle mass is a powerful anti-aging strategy.
4 Hydrate Wisely
Filtered water is a must, but adding 1 gram of mineral-rich salt like Baja Gold can elevate your hydration game. This helps flush toxins and unlocks your cellsโ ability to absorb water deeply.
5 Move Every Day and Lift Weights 2โ3 Times a Week
Movement is medicine. Gentle daily activity keeps inflammation down and targeted weight training builds muscle without over-exertion. Just 20 minutes of strength work a few times a week can make a huge difference in how your body ages.
6 Supplement with Intention
Certain nutrients are inflammation fighters. Vitamin C, vitamin D3/K2, glutathione and magnesium (glycinate or threonate) are foundational. Adding curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, or resveratrol can further calm inflammation and support joint health.
7 Support Your Gut
Your gut microbiome is your bodyโs inflammation thermostat. Feed it well with probiotic-rich foods like sauerkraut (in brine, not vinegar) and fiber sources like psyllium husk. A healthy gut means a balanced immune system.
8 Reduce Toxic Load
Everyday products can be major sources of inflammation. Swap out chemical-laden skincare, haircare, and household cleaners for clean, non-toxic alternatives. These simple swaps protect your hormones and reduce hidden inflammatory triggers. Make sure you have a high quality air filter especially where you sleep to combat VOCโs in the air.
9 Manage Stress
Stress is a major driver of inflammation. Practices like meditation, breathwork or simply spending time in nature reset your nervous system and help your body heal. Even a few minutes a day can shift your inflammatory balance.
10 Prioritize Sleep
Sleep is your bodyโs nightly repair shop. Deep, restorative rest is non-negotiable for reducing inflammation and supporting longevity. Create a calming bedtime routine, limit blue light exposure and keep your bedroom cool and dark.
11 Try Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting isnโt just a trendโitโs a powerful biohack to reduce inflammation and activate cellular repair. Even a 12 hour fast overnight can lower inflammatory markers and support gut health.
12 Sweat It Out with Sauna Sessions
Sweating through regular sauna use is a powerful way to lower inflammation and flush toxins from your body. Heat exposure activates your detox pathways, improves circulation and stimulates the release of inflammatory waste products. Whether itโs infrared or traditional sauna, this simple biohack supports cellular repair and boosts longevity.
Iโm living proof that reducing inflammation changes everything, from your energy and mood to your skin and longevity. At the retreat, weโll dive deep into each of these strategies so you can personalize them for your unique biology and create a clear picture to help you feel better, age slower and live more vibrantly.
