Can Joy Really Be Anti-Inflammatory?

August 13, 2025 • Alyssa K. Abrahamson • Episode 242

242. What if joy isn’t just a feeling, but your body’s most underrated anti-inflammatory? Tune in this week as I explore how joy, from everyday pleasures to extraordinary moments, can calm your nervous system, lower stress hormones, and support your body’s natural resilience. From laughter with friends to a moment of morning light, joy has the power to shift us from sympathetic fight-or-flight into parasympathetic rest, digest, and repair. You’ll learn a bit of the science behind joy’s anti-inflammatory effects, discover practical ways to invite more of it into your daily life, that invite you to prioritize joy as part of your healing and overall wellbeing.
