FRIDAY 5 - Markers Of Inflammation You Don't Want To Miss If You Have Autoimmune Disease

In this FRIDAY 5 episode of "The Autoimmune RESET," VJ Hamilton explores key markers of inflammation from a functional medicine perspective.

VJ dives into the roles of C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), and Homocysteine in indicating both acute and chronic inflammation.

VJ explains how genetic variations in IL-6 and TNF-alpha can predispose individuals to higher inflammation levels and discusses the importance of tracking symptoms even when these markers are normal.

VJ also cover how localized inflammation, such as in the gut, can be detected using calprotectin. Learn how understanding these markers can provide a comprehensive view of your health and guide effective holistic management strategies.

Tune in for valuable insights into maintaining a balanced lifestyle and reducing inflammation naturally.
