Inflammatory Food Pattern Self-Check

Inflammatory Food Pattern Self-Check (Diet Inflammation Check) · 13 questions · 3 minutes

Chronic low-grade inflammation is increasingly recognized as a contributor to depression, anxiety, fatigue, and cognitive difficulties. Your diet is one of the most powerful levers you have for managing inflammation. Foods high in sugar, refined grains, processed meats, and industrial seed oils tend to promote inflammation, while fruits, vegetables, fatty fish, healthy fats, and fermented foods help reduce it. This self-check is not a clinical assessment or diagnosis. It is designed to help you reflect on your overall dietary pattern and identify areas where small changes might support both your physical and mental well-being.

This self-check helps you explore whether your eating habits may be contributing to inflammation that could affect your mood, energy, and overall health. It takes about 3 minutes to complete. After answering all 13 questions, you'll see your results with practical insights.
