Stress and Inflammation

Chronic stress triggers the release of glucocorticoids, leading to elevated blood sugar levels that the body struggles to utilize, resulting in inflammation and various health issues. Even seemingly healthy individuals may harbor hidden infections or biotoxins that exacerbate inflammation, contributing to serious conditions like hypertension and heart disease. Key lab markers, such as fasting insulin and high sensitivity C-reactive protein, provide critical insights into underlying inflammation and metabolic health.
