Description

A radical new vision of human health and illness revealing the hidden but most significant cause of death in the world today Inflammation has traditionally been thought of as the body's response to injury and foreign microbes. But as the threats we face have evolved, what if it were now the root cause of modern disease? New science has revealed low-level, smoldering inflammation, simmering quietly and undetected, behind everything from heart disease and cancer to mysterious autoimmune conditions. Hidden inflammation even weakens our immunity, increasing the likelihood that our immune system will mount an overwhelming, inappropriate attack against infections such as COVID-19. In this beautifully written story of scientific discovery by a doctor at the forefront of this field, A Silent Fire brings together the science of immunology, nutrition and the microbiome to explain what we know of this elusive phenomenon. With fascinating case studies, Ravella debunks common myths about 'anti-inflammatory' lifestyles - adding or eliminating any one food, for example, is not a cure-all - and reveals how we can live not only long, but well.

Author Biography:

Dr. Shilpa Ravella is a transplant gastroenterologist and an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Medical Center, where she oversees the care of rare-disease patients who have undergone intestinal and multiple-organ transplantation. Unlike other solid organ transplants, the intestines are not sterile - the germs that live in the gut are also transplanted - and so Dr. Ravella's expertise lies in the interactions between food, the gut microbiome and the immune system, especially the potential of nutritional therapy to prevent and treat disease. Dr. Ravella speaks and writes regularly on food, health and wellness. She has written for a variety of media, including the Atlantic, New York, Slate, Discover and USA Today and her TED-Ed lesson, 'How the Food You Eat Affects Your Gut' has garnered over two million views.
