A Silent Fire

Shilpa Ravella - The Story of Inflammation, Diet and Disease

Shilpa Ravella is a transplant gastroenterologist and an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Medical Center. In her book, A Silent Fire she looks at inflammation, often undetected and often in seemingly healthy people and the links between inflammation, diet, disease and microbes and how all this affects our health.

“Inflammation is the body’s response to injury and foreign microbes. But what if it were also a potential root cause of modern disease?”
