About this event

FREE LIVE SESSION · TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 · 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM UK Calm the Inflammation The four-pillar practice from our published clinical trials One hour with Dr. Carlijn Wagenaar and Dr. Wendy Walrabenstein: the four pillars, where to start, and your questions answered live. What we’ll cover in the hour Why rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia and dozens of other conditions share one underlying thread, and what that means for what you can do The four pillars of The Inflammation Practice, Food, Movement, Relaxation and Sleep, and why they work better together than apart Why food is the place most people should start, and the changes that carry the most weight How a lifestyle approach sits in parallel to standard medical care What we learned running this with patients in the Netherlands, including the parts we didn’t expect Your questions, answered live Who this hour is for You live with arthritis or another inflammatory condition You’re doing everything your doctor asked and still feel it every day: pain, fatigue, no energy, stiffness You’ve tried cutting something out on your own and weren’t sure if you were doing the right thing You’d rather understand why something works than be handed a list of rules Who it isn’t for: anyone looking for a way off their medication. That’s not what this is, and we’ll explain why on the call. Who you’ll be hearing from Dr. Carlijn Wagenaar, MD, PhD Physician and researcher focused on why lifestyle works, including mechanisms like the microbiome that turn out to have a great deal to say about inflammation. Carlijn went plant-based overnight and has the athlete’s temperament to match. She will explain the mechanism, and why it isn’t magic. Dr. Wendy Walrabenstein, PhD Dietitian, registered in the Netherlands, with a PhD in lifestyle medicine. Wendy has spent years studying how the way we live shapes how we age. She is the one who will explain that 80–90% might be the sweet spot, and that a pastry in Copenhagen every now and then is not a failure. Together they built The Inflammation Practice, the four-pillar approach they developed and tested with patients in the Netherlands and published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. What you’ll know by the end of the hour A clear picture of where your inflammation is actually coming from One change you can make this week without reorganizing your life An honest answer about what a lifestyle approach can and can’t do What our own research at Amsterdam UMC found, explained in plain language
