Episode 24: The Real Roots of Inflammation: Why Sugar, Grains, Alcohol (and the Wrong Fats) Are Keeping You Stuck

Sugar, grains, alcohol, and inflammatory oils might be the reason you feel stuck, swollen, or fatigued—even if you’re trying to eat “healthy.” In this episode, Prairie Francia breaks down the science behind modern inflammation, the importance of gut and lymphatic health, and how your body type plays a role in how you metabolize these substances. Learn the truth about hidden ingredients, sugar addiction, and the dangers of normalizing inflammation. It’s time to reset—lovingly and powerfully—with the Clean Body Reboot.
