TL;DR
Chronic low-grade inflammation links to cardiometabolic risk and aging phenotypes. What labs reveal.
Inflammaging in plain terms
Low-grade inflammation rises with age, adiposity, poor sleep, and metabolic disease. hs-CRP is a common screening marker, though not specific to any one cause.
Elevated inflammation prompts clinicians to search for treatable drivers rather than defaulting to supplements.
Intervention hierarchy
Weight management, sleep, exercise, and metabolic control often reduce inflammatory markers before exotic protocols.
Prescription therapies may be added when a licensed healthcare provider finds them clinically appropriate.
Longevity pathway
Healthspan planning starts with diagnostics and a conversation about your goals, not product selection.
General education. Persistent unexplained inflammation warrants medical evaluation.
