What’s Causing Inflammation?

What's causing Inflammation

This is going to be controversial—but necessary to say:

👉 Chronic inflammation is not a root cause of disease.

We can detect inflammation on blood tests, but that doesn’t mean we’ve found the actual cause.

So the real question is:
What’s causing inflammation in your body in the first place?

🔥 That’s the key—and uncovering it requires detective work tailored to each individual. That’s where Functional Medicine comes in.

What’s Causing Inflammation? Common Hidden Triggers:

To give you an idea, here’s a partial list of some of the possible causes of chronic inflammation: 

1️⃣ Infections

Persistent infections—bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic—can evade the immune system and keep your body in a constant state of defense.

2️⃣ Toxin Exposure

Even low-level exposure to environmental toxins or irritants can activate your immune system and contribute to chronic inflammation.

3️⃣ Poor Diet

Diets high in refined sugars, seed oils, or trans fats increase inflammatory markers in the body. A whole-food, anti-inflammatory diet can help reverse this.

4️⃣ Hormone Imbalance

Low levels of estrogen or testosterone can increase inflammation and risk of disease. Hormone balance plays a key role in immune function.

5️⃣ Gut Health Issues

A compromised gut lining (aka leaky gut) allows toxins to pass into the bloodstream, triggering systemic inflammation.

6️⃣ Obesity & Visceral Fat

Excess fat around the abdomen acts like an organ, releasing inflammatory compounds and disrupting your metabolic health.

Don’t Settle for Generic Labels

Being told that “chronic inflammation” is the cause of your symptoms is only half the story.

👉 There’s always a deeper cause.

To truly heal, you must ask: “What’s causing inflammation in my body?”
