[03:06] Defining Inflammation: Acute Inflammation Vs. Chronic Inflammation
- First off, there are good and useful inflammations. Acute inflammation is where you get injured from a sprained ankle, for example, the swelling there is good; it's the first step in healing.
- Acute inflammation is not what we are talking about today.
- The enemy is chronic inflammation.
- This inflammation is almost always caused by something in your environment getting into your body.
- This leads to chronic inflammation in your body while it is trying to cope with the everyday insult of the toxins.

[09:50] Metabolic Health: Inflammation, Obesity, And The Concerns Around Dairy Products
- Up until about year five, children drink milk regularly and are able to process it well.
- However, around the age of five, our biochemical machinery starts to shut off the ability to break down lactose.

[18:30] Shocking! Another Inflammatory Food That May Surprise You
- A food that many people think is healthy, but is surprisingly inflammatory, is nuts.
- Even though nuts are looked at as a healthy snack, they are actually very carb-heavy and can slow down your weight loss.
- Cutting nuts out of your diet may seem restrictive, but not meeting your goals and being able to do whatever you want to in a day physically is really what is restrictive.

[23:23] Why The Carnivore Diet Is Beneficial For Reducing Inflammation
- The carnivore diet, by definition, is the lowest carbohydrate diet you can eat. It is as close to zero carb as you can get.
- It also eliminates all the other foods that people could potentially be allergic to, such as the proteins in dairy or the phytochemicals in plants.
- Dr. Berry believes that meat and eggs are the least inflammatory foods on the planet, not including water.
- Meat is also the most nutrient-dense food on the planet, especially if you add organ meat to your diet.

[31:28] Essential Lab Markers To Get When Assessing Your Inflammation
- For inflammation, good markers to get are CRP, whether it's high sensitivity or cardiac, sed rate and ESR are great. Another is homocysteine, as well as the ferritin level.
- Many people think ferritin is just a marker of iron deficiency, but it is way more than that.
- If a patient is over 35, these are all lab markers that should be checked to tell the doctor so much about their metabolic health.
- Without these labs, someone could be walking around with pre-diabetes, undiagnosed hyperinsulinemia, hypertriglyceridemia, etc. This is crucial information to determine their metabolic health.

[36:48] Are Statins Always Necessary When Cholesterol is Elevated?
- If a patient has good levels otherwise, has never had a heart attack, and has a CAC score less than 1000, there is no research showing that they would benefit from taking a statin.
- If the patient has had a heart attack in the past or has a CAC above 1000, they may benefit from a low dose.
- Elevated cholesterol can become “background noise” or not a sense of concern if you have transformed your health overall.
