Calming Inflammation and Revitalizing Your Health"
Tired, bloated, brain foggy — but told there’s nothing wrong? It might not be stress. It might not be aging.
It might be inflammation.
You wake up exhausted, no matter how early you go to bed. You’re constantly battling fatigue, mood swings, digestive chaos, and unexplained aches — yet every blood test comes back “normal.” You’ve tried eating clean, working out more, even meditating… but something still feels off .
In The Body's Reset , wellness expert Kristy Jenkins reveals the missing link that could be silently undermining your health: chronic, low-grade inflammation — the invisible fire burning inside millions of people today.
This isn’t the kind of inflammation you can see — no swollen ankle or sore throat here. This is the sneaky, systemic kind that creeps in quietly, draining your energy, fogging your mind, bloating your gut, and wearing down your body over time. And it’s being fuelled by the very habits we think are healthy: processed “whole foods,” chronic hustle culture, poor sleep, and emotional burnout.
Through relatable storytelling, cutting-edge science, and practical strategies, The Body's Reset guides you through:
How modern life creates the perfect storm for inflammation
The surprising role of food, stress, toxins, and gut health
Decoding your body’s signals — from brain fog to bloating
A 7-day reset to calm inflammation fast and feel real relief
A sustainable lifestyle framework to keep the fire out for good
More than a diet or detox plan, this is a blueprint for reclaiming your vitality , one mindful choice at a time. Whether you're a high-performing professional, a busy parent, or someone who just wants to feel like yourself again, The Body's Reset offers a compassionate, holistic path forward.
Because healing doesn't come from chasing symptoms — it starts with understanding the fire within.

Foreword

I didn’t write this book from a pedestal. I wrote it from the floor—the kind of floor you end up on when your body gives out in the middle of an ordinary day. There was no dramatic diagnosis, no headline illness.

Just a slow unravelling: energy that faded without reason, a brain that couldn’t think clearly, a belly that bloated after everything, and a feeling deep in my bones that something wasn’t right.

And yet, every time I sought help, the answers were the same: "Your labs are normal." "You just need to manage your stress."

"Maybe it’s just aging."

But what I came to learn is that feeling awful in a thousand quiet ways isn’t normal. It isn’t aging. And it isn’t just stress. It’s inflammation. A word we hear, dismiss, and misunderstand.

This book is for anyone who’s ever felt gaslit by their own body. It’s for the high performers who can’t push through anymore. It’s for the parents who wake up already exhausted. It’s for the men who feel unmotivated and flatlined. The women who feel bloated, foggy, and unlike themselves.

You’re not lazy. You’re not weak. And it’s not all in your head.

Inflammation is real, it’s rampant, and it’s reversible. This is the book I needed when I thought I was falling apart. I hope it becomes a hand you can hold as you find your way back to yourself.

Introduction:

The Fog You Can’t Name

There’s a strange moment that happens to a lot of people right before they start to heal.

They sit in a quiet room—a doctor’s office, a living room, a parked car—and they say something like: "I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but this isn’t me."

It’s not dramatic. It’s not an emergency. But it is the beginning of something big.

Because to say, "this isn’t me" is to recognize, for the first time, that your body has started living its own separate life. One that drags behind. One that misfires. One that feels heavy, uncertain, and unfamiliar.

Maybe you’re tired all the time, no matter how much you sleep. Maybe your stomach hurts after everything you eat. Maybe your face looks puffier than it used to.

Maybe you used to feel sharp and motivated and now you’re just trying to make it through the day.

You’re not alone. This story is everywhere.

In corporate offices, in grocery store aisles, in gyms, in bedrooms. People are quietly struggling in bodies that don’t feel like home.

And yet, when you finally make it to a doctor or a practitioner, the script is the same.

Your bloodwork is fine. Your weight isn’t that high. Maybe it’s stress. Maybe it’s age. Maybe you should try yoga. Or magnesium. Or a vacation.

The problem is, you’re not looking for a spa day.

You’re looking for a reason. Something that connects all these loose ends. Something that explains why you can’t think, digest, sleep, move, focus, or feel like you used to.

That "something" is inflammation.

Not the kind you get from a sprained ankle or a fever. But the kind that lives in the background, day after day, quietly interfering with your body’s ability to function. It doesn’t scream.

It whispers.

It whispers things like: fatigue, cravings, bloating, brain fog, anxiety, joint pain, weight gain, skin flare-ups, low motivation, poor sleep.

We’ve been conditioned to treat those symptoms as separate issues. But they’re not. They’re signals. And they’re connected.

This book is about making those connections.

It’s not a diet book. It’s not a lecture. It’s not a quick fix.

It’s a conversation—the one I wish someone had with me before I spent years collecting symptoms that didn’t add up.

Inflammation is the missing link. It’s also the good news. Because once you understand it, you can work with your body instead of constantly fighting it.

So if you’re tired of wondering why you don’t feel like yourself...

If you’ve tried eating cleaner, working out more, sleeping longer—and still feel off...

If you know deep down that something needs to change...

Then you’re in the right place.

Let’s pull back the curtain and begin where all healing begins:

With the question no one is asking you.

What if it’s inflammation?

Chapter 1:

What If It’s Inflammation?

Let me tell you a story — one I’ve heard a hundred times, maybe even lived a few times myself.

Picture this: A guy in his forties. He's got the whole package — good job, loving wife, two kids, a life that looks pretty perfect from the outside. But inside?

He’s barely holding on.

He wakes up exhausted no matter how early he goes to bed. Coffee is practically a food group for him — three cups by noon just to feel like a real person.

By mid-afternoon, he hits a wall. Tired, foggy, irritable. He pushes through work on sheer willpower and caffeine. When he gets home, he’s too drained to connect with his family or enjoy anything.

And the worst part?

He has no idea why this is happening.

He went to the doctor. Bloodwork looked normal. Blood pressure?

Good. Weight?

Fine. So what’s wrong?

“Maybe it’s stress,” they said. “Take a vacation.”

Or maybe testosterone. Or a better diet.

Nothing really stuck.

Now let me tell you another story — this time about a woman in her early thirties. She works out, eats clean (or tries to), takes supplements, does Pilates twice a week.

She wants to feel good. But every single afternoon, she bloats like she’s five months pregnant. Her face puffs up, her brain turns to mush, and she can’t focus. She’s tired but wired. Her skin breaks out along her jawline.

Her moods swing. Her period is all over the place.

She also saw her doctor. “Everything looks fine,”

they told her. “Try cutting dairy?”

She did. Nothing changed.

These stories might sound familiar. Maybe because you’ve lived one of them. Maybe both. I know I have.

And if these sound like your life — or someone you love — I want to help you understand what’s really going on.

It might not be stress.

It might not be aging.

It might not be "just life."

It might be inflammation.

Not the Kind You Can See

When most people hear the word “inflammation,” they think of something obvious — like a swollen ankle after a sprain or a sore throat that won’t quit.

That’s called acute inflammation — and it’s actually a good thing. It means your body is doing its job — protecting you, healing you.

That kind usually comes and goes fast.

But there’s another kind. The sneaky kind.

This one doesn’t come with redness or swelling. You can’t see it. You can’t point to it.

But it’s there — simmering quietly under the surface, wearing down your energy, digestion, mood, and sleep.

I call it the invisible fire .

Because it burns without smoke, without warning, and often without any sign that something’s wrong — until everything feels off.

While your regular doctor might say your labs are “normal,” functional medicine folks dig deeper.

They look at things like high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), ESR, or homocysteine levels — markers that show low-level inflammation your standard blood test might miss.

Understanding this invisible fire is the first step toward feeling like yourself again.

Your Body Is Trying to Tell You Something

Inflammation isn’t a disease — it’s a process. A response. And when it becomes chronic, it messes with your whole system.

Your gut starts acting up. Foods that used to be fine now make you bloated or gassy.

Your blood sugar goes haywire — you crash after meals, crave carbs, feel shaky by 3 PM.

Your brain gets foggy.

You forget words, lose focus, feel anxious for no reason.

Your joints ache. Your skin flares. Your hormones go rogue.

Your nervous system stays on edge — you can’t relax, can’t sleep, always feel like you’re bracing for something.

This is inflammation. It’s not dramatic, but it’s powerful. It’s not loud, but it’s persistent.

Why No One Seems to Get It

Here’s the hard part: Most doctors don’t look for this kind of slow-burning inflammation unless it turns into something diagnosable — like diabetes, hypothyroidism, or depression.

So if you’re not officially diabetic but you crash after eating…

If you’re not hypothyroid but your metabolism feels broken…

If you’re not depressed but you’ve lost your joy…

They’ll probably tell you you’re “fine.”

And being told you’re fine when you clearly aren’t? That’s beyond frustrating. It makes you question everything — your instincts, your feelings, even your sanity.

But here’s the truth: your body isn’t betraying you. It’s trying to get your attention.

The question is — are you ready to listen?

What It Actually Feels Like

Inflammation shows up differently for everyone.

For some, it’s digestive chaos — bloating, gas, constipation, heartburn.

For others, it’s brain fog and fatigue — waking up tired, forgetting things, zoning out mid-conversation.

For someone else, it’s acne, mood swings, insomnia, joint pain, or weight that won’t budge no matter what they try.

It’s not just one symptom. It’s the pattern. It’s the way all those little things pile up until they start to drown out who you really are.

Think of it like static on a radio. Each symptom is like a tiny distortion. Alone, it’s annoying. But together?

They turn your favourite song into noise.

That’s what inflammation does. It distorts your signal — your energy, your clarity, your peace.

And the goal isn’t just to silence the noise. It’s to clear the static so you can hear the music again — the rhythm of your life, your joy, your true self.

Why This Is Happening Now

Inflammation isn’t new. Our bodies have always dealt with it. But the way we live today makes it almost impossible to avoid.

We eat foods our grandparents wouldn’t recognize.

We sit too much, scroll too long, sleep too little.

We rush through our days without breathing deeply or drinking enough water.

We live disconnected from our bodies, our rhythms, our needs.

Our systems weren’t built for this pace. They weren’t designed for endless stimulation, artificial light, or constant digital input.

And so, they respond the only way they know how — with inflammation.

They whisper warnings. Then shout. Until finally, you stop and listen.

So… What Do We Do About It?

First, stop thinking it’s all in your head.

Second, start paying attention — not just to the symptoms, but to the lifestyle habits that created them.

Because healing inflammation isn’t about miracle cures or strict perfection. It’s about creating a life your body no longer needs to defend itself from.

That means:

Eating foods that calm instead of trigger.

Moving in ways that support instead of punish.

Prioritizing rest, hydration, and quality sleep.

Learning how to shift out of survival mode and into calm.

No, you don’t need to live on turmeric lattes and salmon. You don’t have to quit your job or meditate for hours.

You just need to make space for healing — and that starts with understanding what’s really going on.

The Good News

Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Once you realize your body isn’t broken — it’s inflamed — you can meet it with compassion, curiosity, and care instead of frustration and guilt.

And here’s the beautiful part: your body wants to heal. It’s wired to. It just needs the right environment.

This book is your roadmap — not toward perfection, but toward restoration. Toward reclaiming your energy, clarity, and joy.

We’ll talk about food, but this isn’t a diet.

We’ll talk about rest, but this isn’t about being lazy.

We’ll talk about change, but not the kind that demands you overhaul your whole life overnight.

This is about getting your life back — one small, clear signal at a time.

Let’s start tuning in.
