Anthea Holder – Chiropractor, Burwood East
As women, we often lead the way when it comes to family health. We want our kids, partners, and ourselves to feel vibrant, strong, and resilient. But hidden inflammation can quietly drain our energy, worsen aches and pains, and set the stage for chronic illness. The good news? Through simple, everyday nutrition choices, we can reduce inflammation and protect our family’s long-term wellness.
What is Inflammation?
Inflammation is the body’s natural defence system, but when it becomes chronic, it contributes to conditions like arthritis, heart disease, and even Alzheimer’s.

How Chiropractic Care Fits In
Nutrition is powerful, but it’s only one part of the puzzle. Chiropractic care helps reduce the physical stress on the body, improving nervous system balance, mobility, and recovery—all of which support the body’s ability to handle inflammation.
Conclusion:
By making small, consistent changes to family meals and lifestyle, you’ll not only reduce inflammation—you’ll be building resilience and energy for years to come.
