:) I love the questions - they help us improve!

You are correct that there are sources of inflammation that are not lifestyle related, but many of the drivers of inflammation are indeed lifestyle related.

I really like this article on the drivers of inflammation: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-019-0675-0

I particularly like Figure 1

I also thought I would share our blog on lifestyle interventions associated with decreased inflammation levels:

Curcumin is one of the main ingredients of (e.g.) Indian cuisine. Does it mean that the nation is comparatively less inflamed?

Historically? Yes, actually.

There has been a surge in, for example, IBD in India recently [1], but by and large India did not have many of the inflammatory disease issue we had for decades. They had plenty of other diseases, but I wouldn’t be surprised if all the curcumin helped stave off certain inflammatory conditions.

I'm not against using it, but isn't technically using garlic, curcumine a sort of natural medication, more then a lifestyle change? They are both aryuvedic methods. Curcumine for sure.

Also as someone with an AI condition the baseline inflammation levels from lifestyle are important. If I eat lots of junk food it'll trigger my AI even with medication.

I'm excited by your company, and will certainly be checking it out. Are there options for more regular testing? I'd like to establish baselines on my week to week or even day-to-day. I just dont want to figure out a lab to do my own testing.

Best of luck!

Hi! Yes, you can test more frequently. Once you choose a plan, you can add as many more tests as you like at that same cost per test.
