“Each of us has a cup that we hold and can handle. Our cups fill with all sorts of exposures and stuff as we get older: illness, traumas, toxins, crappy food, bad air, toxic stress. These things are chronically inflammatory to our bodies – and inflammation is bad for our health. There will come a point when your cup will overflow or even tip over if all you do is put stuff in it.
