Hi, I’m Elena Ben
Holistic Nutritionist, autoimmune warrior & the heart behind Anti-Inflammatory Eats.
For years, I lived with symptoms that didn’t make sense: brain fog, constant bloating, aching joints, and waves of fatigue that made me feel like a shadow of myself. I saw doctors, took tests, and heard a lot of “everything looks normal.” But deep down, I knew something was off.
Things began to shift when I started exploring the power of anti-inflammatory foods and gentle lifestyle changes. I didn’t transform my life overnight. I began paying attention to what I was eating, how I was sleeping, and how I was taking care of myself.
That journey led me here.
Why I Started Anti-Inflammatory Eats
Anti-Inflammatory Eats is more than just a blog. It’s a space for healing, clarity, and comfort. Whether you’re living with chronic inflammation, navigating autoimmune issues, or just want to feel better in your body, I’m here to walk alongside you. Gently. Nourishingly. With joy.
I combine science-backed nutrition with real-life practicality so you can feel empowered and confident about what goes on your plate.
What You’ll Find Here
- Simple, delicious anti-inflammatory recipes
- Weekly and monthly meal plans to guide your routine
- Food lists and grocery tips to simplify shopping
- Lifestyle and wellness practices that support long-term health
I believe food should be powerful, but also comforting, realistic, and enjoyable. No perfection. No pressure. Just progress.
A Few Things About Me
- I’m a Certified Holistic Nutrition Consultant with a focus on anti-inflammatory wellness.
- I live in Asheville, North Carolina, surrounded by mountains, fresh herbs, and slow mornings.
- My kitchen is always stocked with turmeric, lentils, blueberries, and a scribbled recipe notebook.
- I love handwritten grocery lists, herbal teas, and cozy meals that feel like hugs.
My Philosophy
“Food is medicine, but it should also be joyful, beautiful, and nourishing.”
You don’t need to overhaul your entire life to start healing. You just need the right tools, a little inspiration, and a supportive space. I hope this blog can be that for you.
Let’s Heal Together
You don’t need to change everything all at once. Start where you are. Try one new meal. Add a veggie to your plate. Make one small swap today. Those simple steps? They matter.
You deserve to feel well in your body. I’m here to help you get there.
Let’s Stay Connected
If you’re new here, I recommend starting with the 7-Day Anti-Inflammatory Meal Plan. It’s a great first step to see how simple and effective this way of eating can be.
