How to Reduce Chronic Inflammation: Tests That Help and Habits to Change (Part 2)
18m | Sep 15, 2026How do you reduce chronic inflammation, and which tests actually help measure it? In this second episode of the series, Dr. Mike Hauman provides a clear "reset" for managing chronic inflammation, focusing on the most useful tests, what to stop doing, and what to start doing to lower your inflammatory burden.
Dr. Mike discusses the most validated general blood marker—high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)—and cautions against expensive, unproven specialty tests that often lead to confusion rather than clarity. He outlines the key habits to stop, including self-diagnosing from vague symptoms, relying on ultra-processed foods, and using NSAIDs as a long-term strategy. He then offers actionable steps to start, from adopting a Mediterranean-style eating pattern and moving your body regularly to regulating stress and treating underlying medical conditions appropriately.
This episode also includes a simple two-week reset plan to help you take your first faithful steps toward reducing inflammation. If you're ready to move from fear and confusion to a practical, evidence-based approach, this reset is for you.
Tune in for grounded guidance on managing chronic inflammation wisely.
