Tip from Dr. Barbara Sturm
"I like to take the time to meditate - it puts me in a good mental state and helps reduce cortisol levels, which lowers inflammation in the body and calms the mind. I love Deepak Chopra Meditation Series because it helps me to destress at any time of the day."

PRACTICE BREATH WORK
Practicing daily breathwork can help to increase energy, improve sleep, aid digestion and promote inner calm and mental clarity. If you’re new to breathwork, start with a simple practice like Box Breathing; Breathe in through your nose whilst counting to four, hold your breath for four and then, slowly exhale for four. Wait four seconds and then repeat 1-3 times.
RESTORE WITH RED LIGHT
Red light therapy is a non-invasive, anti-inflammatory treatment that uses low wavelengths of safe, red light to improve cellular function, helping to decrease inflammation, promote sleep and aid in muscle recovery post-workout. It’s also a useful anti-aging tool for the skin; regular sessions can boost collagen, repair damaged tissue and improve texture.
CATCH THE MORNING LIGHT
& BOOST YOUR MOOD
Spending time in natural light early in the morning helps to trigger the optimal cycle of cortisol release to make us alert in the day - and able to sleep better at night. Wrap up and step outside in the early hours of the morning (the first hour after you wake up) for 30-45 minutes, take some deep breaths and boost your body’s hydration with a glass of water or herbal tea.

NUTRITION
Changes to  diet have been shown in clinical trials to dramatically reduce inflammation. Dr. Barbara Sturm recommends eating an anti-inflammatory diet rich in fatty fish, avocados, green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, almonds, and nuts - and avoiding inflammatory substances such as alcohol, sugar and processed or fried foods.
MOVEMENT
Dr. Sturm's holistic approach to reducing inflammation throughout the body includes taking time to move every day. Movement is essential for releasing inflammation-reducing hormones in the body – studies have found that doing just one 20-minute cardio session a day can lower the body's inflammatory response.​
MINDFULNESS
Adopting mindful practices into your daily routine can be beneficial in helping promote inner calm; simple breathwork, forest bathing, sound baths and treatments such as red-light therapy have been shown to help reduce anxiety and depression, manage muscle and body pain and improve concentration and clarity.
SLEEP
Restful sleep is a vital part of an anti-inflammatory lifestyle and one of the most effective actions you can take to reset your brain and body health every day. A good night’s sleep helps regulate the immune system and promotes the release of cytokines, which are proteins that help fight infection and inflammation.
