Key Points
- Chronic inflammation can silently damage blood vessels, disrupt hormones, and impair metabolism without obvious symptoms, often leading to serious diseases over time.
- Functional medicine emphasizes the importance of detecting early inflammation through specific blood markers like HSCRP, fasting insulin, ferritin, homocysteine, and liver enzymes, which are often overlooked in conventional healthcare.
- Addressing root causes such as blood sugar dysregulation, gut inflammation, chronic stress, toxin exposure, and nutrient deficiencies is crucial in reversing chronic inflammation and preventing disease.
