Dr. Bill Ferro - The Health Benefits of Reducing Chronic Inflammation

Author: Pete McCall & Glassbox Media November 26, 2022 Duration: 1:02:29
Time. Equipment. Not knowing what to do. These are all common excuses for not getting results from an exercise program; however, one important thing missing from this list, the issue of chronic inflammation. Inflammation is your immune system's natural response when fighting an outside invader like a bacteria or promoting the healing process after tissue has been injured. Acute, or short-term, inflammation is your body working to heal itself. Chronic, or long-term, inflammation can actually work against you and cause a number of negative health outcomes that could keep you from experiencing results from an exercise program. Dr. Bill Ferro is a chiropractor who realized that chronic gut inflammation was effecting many of his patients and keeping them from becoming completely healed. Dr. Ferro realized that helping his patients to first reduce inflammation in their digestive tract was a key component to helping them heal from their other health issues. As a result, he developed the Betr Health protocol to help his clients improve their health from the inside-out by reducing gut inflammation. It's important to note that among the many health benefits of reducing chronic inflammation are losing unhealthy bodyweight and improving results from exercise. The Betr Health protocol is so successful at helping individuals to improve their health by reducing chronic inflammation that is used by many health insurance programs seeking to improve the health of their members. Dr. Ferro discusses the negative health outcomes caused by chronic inflammation, shares how he created the Betr Health protocol and offers some simple suggestions for what you can to do reduce inflammation in your body. It's all about achieving better health by reducing inflammation on this episode of All About Fitness.
