Say Hello

Dr. Seaman has been writing about chronic inflammation for over 25 years. He wrote the first published scientific article about how diet can induce inflammation and promote pain. His articles about pain, inflammation, diet, and obesity have been referenced by researchers at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Harvard Medical School and many other universities in the United States, as well as universities in Canada, Brazil, Europe, Middle East, India, Australia, Russia, and other Asian countries.

In 2016, Dr. Seaman wrote a book for the general public entitled The DeFlame Diet. The focus of this book is how to measure and reduce chronic inflammation through dietary means. It is the most detailed book on this topic that is written for the general public. Thereafter he wrote an additional four books:

Weight Loss Secrets You Need to Know
The DeFlame Diet for Breast Health and Cancer Prevention
The DeFlame Diet to Stop Your Joints, Muscles, and Bones from Rotting
The DeFlame Diet for Immune Health

All of the books are available on Amazon or for volume pricing at DeFlame.com.

Meet The Expert

What makes you an expert on The Paleo Diet?

My area of interest is how nutrition influences the expression of pain and inflammation, which I have been studying since 1987.

Describe the impact The Paleo Diet has had on you (and/or your family's) life?

My first exposure to the concept occurred in the early 1980s when I read Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Dr. Weston Price. Then, in the late 1980s, I came across Dr. S Boyd Eaton’s original article in the NEJM about paleolithic nutrition. This was the same time that I realized how dietary fatty acids and polyphenols can modulate inflammation. A little over 10 years later, I contacted Dr. Cordain after reading his articles about the inflammatory potential grains/legumes, which helped to substantially reorient my thinking about diet and inflammation. I have been a fan and promoter of The Paleo Diet since that time.

What does “healthy living” mean to you? And what do you like to eat when you go to the movies (i.e. what’s your favorite cheat food)? 

To me “healthy living” involves lifestyle choices that keep our inflammatory markers within the normal range, the most important being diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management. My favorite cheat food is pizza. Fortunately, we can now get pizza made with cauliflower instead of gluten-rich dough.

What do you enjoy doing when you are not writing for The Paleo Diet? 

My favorite activities are golf, surfing, and working in my yard.
