In 2026, we’re tackling chronic inflammation. Or so social media would have us believe. Almost daily, another creator appears on my feed sharing how she healed her puffiness, bloating and water retention with morning bone broth, grass-fed beef and protein pudding. Often, she shows me her now pancake-flat stomach and tiny portion sizes before trying to sell me an affiliate-linked gut health drink.
I find myself wondering: Is she battling inflammation, or an eating disorder?
