JACKSON, Mo. - Missouriar -- The Anti Inflammatory Lifestyle, the first book from periodontist Dr. Roger Parkes, is now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover, and eBook formats. Drawing on more than four decades of clinical experience, Dr. Parkes offers adults a practical, science-based approach to understanding chronic inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and the lifestyle factors behind them.

Over the course of his career, Dr. Parkes worked with patients facing arthritis, digestive disorders, and other inflammatory conditions. He became increasingly concerned by how often medication was used to manage symptoms without addressing their root causes. What began as conversations about diet and lifestyle evolved into an approach that has helped hundreds of people reduce their reliance on medication and reclaim their health.

"I was amazed at the medications doctors were prescribing for digestive problems, arthritis, and other inflammatory diseases," said Dr. Parkes. "I began discussing natural approaches with patients. Even small changes to diet and lifestyle have produced life-changing results, and that's what this book is meant to share."

The Anti Inflammatory Lifestyle moves beyond generic advice to "eat better and exercise more," explaining the biological mechanisms behind chronic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction. Drawing on current research and decades of clinical observation, Dr. Parkes offers a practical roadmap covering nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and fasting, all aimed at helping the body heal itself.

Topics covered in the book include:

• The hidden role of chronic inflammation in modern disease
• How to improve metabolic flexibility and support healthy blood sugar
• Building an anti-inflammatory way of eating without restrictive dieting
• Optimizing sleep, stress, and healthy cortisol rhythms
• Strengthening gut health, immune function, and cellular repair
• Creating sustainable habits for lifelong wellness

The book is written primarily for adults and seniors managing inflammatory conditions or looking to increase energy, improve metabolic health, and take a more proactive role in their long-term wellness without relying on fad diets or quick fixes.
