Avoid Anti-Inflammatories When Prioritizing Long-Term Adaptation

Do not use anti-inflammatory interventions when the goal is long-term adaptation rather than immediate relief, because they can block adaptation signals. This includes drugs/supplements and icing strategies used for acute relief.

“You could do something like take an anti-inflammatory, whether this is a supplementation or a drug, or maybe this is ice. Oh, cool. That's great. That will enhance your recovery in this moment. That'll make you feel better today, probably tomorrow. But what we know is that blocks the signal for adaptation.”
