Inflammation is the word on everyone’s lips in 2025 – from Goop founder, Gwyneth Paltrow to Zoe founder, Professor Tim Spector. And unlike some viral trends with limited scientific backing (think detox teas or ear seeding), inflammation – or rather, the anti-inflammatory diet – can meaningfully improve whole body health and longevity. We really are what we eat, and “chronic, systemic inflammation is a serious health concern that can be made worse, or better, with diet,” according to John Hopkins Medicine.
