Inflammation is increasingly recognised as a key factor behind many of today’s most common health concerns—from joint pain, digestive discomfort, and persistent fatigue to heart disease, autoimmune conditions, and metabolic imbalance. But what is inflammation really, and why does it so often become harmful in modern life?

Nutrition for Inflammation is an engaging and informative talk that brings clarity to this important topic. In a friendly, accessible way, we will explore what inflammation is meant to do in the body, why it becomes problematic when it turns chronic, and how everyday aspects of modern living—such as stress, poor sleep, processed foods, and constant demands—can quietly keep inflammation switched on.

At the heart of the talk is nutrition: how food acts as powerful information for the immune system, either fuelling inflammatory processes or helping to calm and regulate them. With a practical, balanced approach—free from fads or extremes—you’ll gain insight into realistic dietary and lifestyle shifts that can support long‑term health, resilience, and vitality.

The talk is led by Eva Chong, a naturopathic nutrition adviser based in Herne Hill. Originally trained as a lawyer, Eva trained in nutrition following her own breast cancer journey in 2020. She is passionate about empowering people to optimise their health and wellbeing through simple, sustainable changes to everyday diet and lifestyle.
