Your Inflammatory Markers Are Normal”—But That Doesn’t Mean You’re Inflammation-Free 🚨
Just because your CRP (C-Reactive Protein) or ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) comes back normal doesn’t mean inflammation isn’t impacting your health.
Here’s the thing: conventional tests like CRP and ESR are designed to detect systemic or high-level inflammation, but they can miss low-grade, chronic inflammation or inflammation that’s localised to specific areas, like your gut, joints, or even your brain.
If you’re experiencing symptoms like:
⚡️ Fatigue
🧠 Brain fog
🤕 Joint pain
🔥 Persistent discomfort
…it’s worth digging deeper, even if traditional blood work looks fine.
🔬What else can you test?
GI Effects: To assess gut health and detect inflammation linked to the microbiome or conditions like leaky gut.
DUTCH Test: To evaluate hormonal imbalances, such as oestrogen dominance or low cortisol clearance, which may be driving inflammation.
Homocysteine Levels: High levels can signal an inflammatory response & increased cardiovascular risk
Omega-3 Index: Low omega-3s = less ability to fight inflammation
Autoimmune Markers: Sometimes, inflammation is tied to autoantibodies that routine tests don’t catch.
🔎 The truth is, symptoms often tell a clearer story than standard markers.
If you’re feeling “off,” listen to your body—it’s trying to tell you something.
Inflammation might be flying under the radar of routine tests, but it’s still impacting your health.
