5 Things I Did to Cure My Inflammation
1. A Healing Diet: Whole Foods, Low Carb, High Protein, Healthy Fats
My recovery started with food, but it definitely wasn’t a straight line.
Before I found what worked, I tried everything - low-fat diets, vegetarian plans, vegan eating, gut-cleanse diets, powders, supplements… nothing made a real difference.
In fact, I got worse.
What I eventually realised was this:
My body wasn’t lacking restriction…
It was lacking nutrition.
My gut lining was damaged.
My immune system was overwhelmed.
And the only thing that would allow it to repair was the most nutrient-dense food on the planet - real, whole food that the body instantly recognises and uses to rebuild.
Once I stripped everything back and focused on whole foods, low carbs, high protein and healthy fats, everything changed. I removed anything that harmed my gut — seed oils, sugars, processed grains, additives, gums, fillers, industrial oils — and replaced them with the foods humans have thrived on for thousands of years.
I built my meals around:
• eggs
• wild salmon and fish
• grass-fed beef and fatty meats
• avocado
• ghee, butter, olive oil
• dark berries and low carb season fruit
• fermented foods like sauerkraut
These foods reduce inflammation, stabilise blood sugar, repair the gut lining, and give your cells the raw materials they need to heal.
And this isn’t a “diet.”
It’s a way of living - a way of eating that allows you to think clearly, digest properly, and actually feel human again. A way of living that makes you thrive.
I’m currently working on full food guides that break down the best:
• proteins
• healthy fats
• carbs (the ones that support healing)
These guides are coming soon - simple, clear, and designed to help you build a healing lifestyle with confidence.
But for now, here’s the golden rule:
Use single-ingredient foods.
Organic where possible. Local if you can. Seasonal when available.
Choose foods your grandmother would recognise - foods without labels, boxes or ingredient lists.

2. Sunlight: Daily Natural Light Without Chemical Blockers
Sunlight became non-negotiable in my healing journey.
For years, I underestimated how powerful natural light is for the body. Morning sunlight isn’t just “nice” - it’s biology. It signals to your brain that the day has begun, resets your circadian rhythm, improves sleep quality, lowers stress hormones and boosts your mood instantly.
But one of the biggest reasons sunlight matters is Vitamin D.
Vitamin D is actually a hormone, not a vitamin - and it plays a role in:
• immune function
• inflammation control
• gut health
• mood
• respiratory health
• autoimmune regulation
People with gut issues, asthma or autoimmune conditions are often deficient without realising it.
The problem?
Most sunscreens and chemical blockers stop your skin from producing vitamin D properly. They prevent UVB from reaching the skin - which is exactly the wavelength required for natural vitamin D synthesis. When you block the sun, you block one of your body’s most important healing signals.
That’s why I chose natural, unfiltered sunlight.
I wasn’t “sunbathing” - I was giving my body the information it needed to function properly.
Of course, timing matters.
In the summer, I avoid the hottest parts of the day - there’s a reason for the old saying:
“Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun.”
Early morning and late afternoon light is safer, gentler, and more beneficial.
But if you live far from the equator, midday sunlight becomes more essential in the autumn and winter, because UVB levels are much lower. A short, intentional dose around noon can help maintain healthy vitamin D levels when the sun is weaker.
This isn’t about tanning, and it’s not about burning.
It’s about reconnecting with something humans evolved with - the natural light that regulates our biology.
A few minutes a day changed my energy, mood, sleep and immune system more than I ever expected.

3. Removing Toxins: Clearing the Hidden Stressors
One of the biggest breakthroughs came when I removed everyday toxins from my home.
I cut out:
• perfumes
• scented candles
• plug-ins
• incense sticks and liquids
• industrial cleaning products
These products contain compounds that irritate the lungs, skin and immune system.
Switching to clean, natural alternatives made a noticeable difference in my breathing, energy and overall inflammation.
Why does this matter?
Because many of these products contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), endocrine disruptors, microtoxins and irritants that:
• inflame the airways
• disrupt hormones
• trigger asthma
• irritate the skin
• stress the immune system
• worsen gut inflammation
When your body is constantly defending itself, it can’t heal.
The moment I cleared these out, I felt a shift - smoother breathing, fewer flare-ups, more stable energy and a calmer overall system.
But removing toxins isn’t enough - you need healthy replacements.
Here’s what I brought into my home instead:
✔ Soy or beeswax candles
No paraffin, no petrol-based fumes - just clean, gentle burning that doesn’t irritate the lungs.
✔ Natural essential oils
Used in diffusers or on the skin (diluted), these support relaxation, focus, immunity and mood without synthetic fragrances.
✔ Non-toxic soaps and body care
Simple, natural soaps that don’t strip the skin or introduce harsh chemicals.
✔ Tallow-based face creams
Nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory and deeply healing — closer to human skin than plant oils, and incredible for repairing damaged skin barriers.
✔ Natural laundry powders and detergents
No artificial scents, no residue on clothes, no chemicals rubbed into the skin all day.
Once I swapped these in, my environment became a healing environment - not another source of stress.
Removing toxins isn’t about being extreme.
It’s about reducing the silent irritants so your immune system can finally relax and focus on repair.

4. Intermittent Fasting: Giving the Body Space to Reset
Intermittent fasting became a powerful tool for my healing - not in an extreme or punishing way, but in a gentle, supportive way that allowed my gut and immune system to finally breathe.
At first, I kept it simple.
A 12–16 hour overnight fast. Nothing dramatic.
Just enough to give my digestive system the one thing it had been missing for years: rest.
Pretty quickly I noticed:
• less bloating
• smoother digestion
• better energy
• calmer inflammation
When your body isn’t constantly digesting food, it can redirect energy into healing, repair, immune balance and detoxification. Sometimes your body just needs space.
As I healed, I slowly progressed into slightly longer fasts - inspired by experts like Dr. Mindy Pelz (I’ll link her resources here for anyone who wants to dive deeper). She teaches the science behind fasting for hormones, gut repair, immunity and cellular clean-up.
As you extend fasting windows (still safely and gradually), powerful things happen:
✔ Ketones switch on
Around 16–18 hours, your body begins producing ketones - not just for energy, but for healing.
Ketones help reduce inflammation, stabilise the brain and support metabolic health.
They also signal the body to clean up old, damaged cells.
✔ The 24-hour “gut reset”
At around the 24-hour mark, your gut begins a deeper repair cycle.
Inflamed cells start to calm, damaged gut lining can tighten, and the microbiome gets a chance to rebalance without constant food input.
(You don’t need to fast this long often - even once every week or two can be powerful.)
✔ Immune system benefits (T-cell activation)
At certain fasting lengths, the immune system goes through stages of renewal:
• Old, ineffective immune cells begin to break down
• New T-cells start generating
• Inflammation signals drop
• The body becomes more resilient
This is your immune system upgrading itself.
✔ Autophagy — the body’s clean-up mode
Longer fasts encourage the body to clear toxins, damaged proteins, old cells and metabolic waste that contribute to illness.
Fasting is not about starving yourself.
It’s about resting your body.
Letting it reset, heal and find its natural rhythm again.
When combined with nutrient-dense whole foods, clean fats and stable blood sugar, intermittent fasting becomes a gentle, powerful tool that helps the body return to how it’s meant to function.

5. Reducing Stress: The Missing Piece No One Talks About
Healing didn’t fully happen for me until I learned how to reduce stress.
You can eat the cleanest food in the world, fast perfectly and remove every toxin - but if your nervous system is constantly in fight-or-flight, your body simply can’t heal.
Chronic stress drives inflammation more than most people realise.
It affects digestion, immunity, hormones, sleep, mood, and even how your gut lining repairs itself.
The key for me was understanding that stress reduction is deeply individual.
There isn’t one method that works for everyone - the magic happens when you find practices that you actually enjoy and can do consistently.
Here’s what made the biggest difference in my life:
✔ Meditation (especially Transcendental Meditation)
TM is one of the most effective forms for calming the mind, lowering cortisol and improving clarity.
Even 10–15 minutes twice a day can shift your entire nervous system.
I recommend this meditation below that I use and learn from ⬇️
✔ Simple, guided meditation apps
For beginners or on busy days, I recommend the Headspace app.
It’s easy, approachable, and helps you build the habit.
✔ Deep diaphragmatic breathing
Learning to breathe from the diaphragm instead of the chest switches you into parasympathetic mode — the state where healing actually occurs.
This alone can lower heart rate, reduce anxiety and calm gut inflammation.
✔ Grounding & nature exposure
Walking barefoot on grass, touching the earth, or simply being surrounded by nature regulates your nervous system instantly.
Forest, sea, parks - whatever you have access to works.
✔ Acupressure mat sessions
Lying on an acupressure mat for 10–20 minutes a day releases tension, improves circulation and triggers a calming response in the body.
✔ Strength training & gentle movement
Lifting weights, stretching, walking - all help channel stress, balance blood sugar and improve mood.
✔ Journaling and visualisation
Writing things down helps process emotions.
Visualisation trains the brain to create a sense of safety, which reduces inflammatory signals.
✔ Creating purpose and meaning in the day
Purpose regulates stress more powerfully than people think.
Even small daily goals improve motivation, energy and resilience.
When I combined these practices, my nervous system shifted from “survive” to “heal.”
And once that happened, every other step - diet, sunlight, fasting, removing toxins - finally started working at full power.
This is the piece most people overlook, but it’s often the one that changes everything.
