Summary

You might feel fine.
But chronic inflammation could still be running the show — silently disrupting your hormones, energy, digestion, mood, and metabolism.

This episode pulls back the curtain on:

Why chronic inflammation is the hidden driver behind so many frustrating symptoms (and major diseases)
What you can measure — from blood to stool — to actually track it
The difference between CRP and hs-CRP (and why it matters way more than you think)
What your body fat, cortisol, gut health, and mitochondria have to do with inflammation
And most importantly: what you can do this week to lower inflammation and feel better fast

If you're tired of chasing symptoms — and ready to get to the root — this is for you.

0:00.0	If you want to be more consistent, you're in the right place. I'm Elizabeth Benton. Welcome to
0:07.1	Consistent, a podcast by Primal Potential that is for all of you who feel frustrated by your lack of
0:13.3	progress or overwhelmed by all the change that you want to make in your life. Here, we stop frantically
0:20.5	chasing new habits and start
0:22.6	strategically building a structure of consistency. Let's get into it.
0:29.1	Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the primal potential podcast. Today, we are talking about
0:35.8	something that deserves far more airtime. It is the silent
0:42.5	cause behind much, if not most, chronic disease and mental health challenges like depression
0:50.5	and anxiety. And a lot of people are missing it for many reasons, either because
0:56.9	it is silent or because they're not looking for it in the right way, in the right places.

1:48.7	it is rarely, if ever, out of the blue, it's just that we weren't looking in the right place
1:54.2	for the right thing. Not that you are ignoring symptoms, and I think that's why inflammation
1:58.8	is such an important conversation. A lot of times chronic inflammation is totally silent. And when we look at things like cardiovascular
2:07.1	health, a lot of the standard tests that are done when you go in for your annual physical and they
2:12.9	check your blood pressure and they do a typical annual lab panel. It's not going to show inflammation
2:20.8	the way that we have the ability to see inflammation. And no, I've had this conversation with a
