Hidden inflammation is at the root of all chronic illness—conditions like heart disease, obesity, diabetes, dementia, depression, cancer, and even autism. So if inflammation is at the root of most modern diseases, how do we find the causes and get the body back in balance? First, we need to identify the triggers and causes of inflammation. Then we need to help reset the body’s natural immune balance by providing the right conditions for it to thrive.
In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I am talking about inflammation, how it’s linked to everything from obesity to all of the chronic diseases of aging, and how to combat it.

I don’t use sugars at all
I have a few pressing questions, if anyone can help, please. I’m asking because I periodically have joint pain but can’t get any decent information from my doctor. I really would like answers but don’t know how to find out. Thanks in advance.
1) How do you know if you’ve got inflammation? If my CRP is less than 1, does that mean that I don’t have inflammation in my body?
2) About 20 years ago, I had "Reactive Arthritis" following tonsillitis. Every joint was absolute agony – for more than a year – but every blood test was normal and no inflammatory markers were ever shown to be present. How is that possible and is a CRP test therefore meaningless?
3) Finally….I’ve had tendonitis in my shoulder for a decade. Now my elbow and thumb are also very painful. On the basis that anti-inflammatory pills (eg Ibuprofen) are very effective for the pain, should I conclude that it’s caused by inflammation? And, if the answer is yes, would that suggest general inflammation throughout my body or could it be confined just to the areas mentioned?
Can you inflammation caused RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS please. My mother is following all these health tips. Stopped sugar and processed diet more than 10 years ago but has inflammation that won’t go away 😢 What can you recommend for someone with very limited mobility can’t do exercise
Very good videos
How can i know if i have chronic inflammation? Through blood work ?
I have a very healthy lifestyle but still riddled with inflammation
I am on a low carb diet …eat less than 25 gm carbs..I am Peromenopausal and get so much Inflammation in Gums and I don’t know what to do. Have been to the Dentist many many times.
All videos usually compare American with the whole world as if u have a lot of population.
I wonder if fructose is connected with Grave’s disease. #hyper-thyroid
Is glucose safer than fructose ?
We eat no sugar, no refined food or oils or professed foods but eat keto. My hub has been doing weights and Pilates, daily walking. Then bam. Hip and lumbar osteoarthritis so much pain he can’t exercise 😩. He has no pain drugs that work on him or our 2 daughters. We need low inflammation diet
Don’t give advice while you’re sick
What’s is considered moderate exercise?
So is Lyme EBV microtoxins
Please dr Hyman, stop confusing sugar and starch, they are not one and the same, the difference being fructose, fructose is a poison, glucose is a precious nutrient
Wait, I don’t see it in your notes…….What is the stuff to take to heal the gut? 10 day detox diet is that a book? no link for it in notes.
Black seed oil…cold pressed…
This is too simple and easy, I will definitely try this………. till now I am using Planet Ayurveda’s Orthovita Oil that’s too work really good
My body has been in a flare for so long. Excessive, gas, bloating, pain, puffy face, acne popping up, body aches and pain, rosacea, and asthma. Additionally, im always so exhausted, and the brain fog is crazy. I can’t lose weight no matter how I eat and workout. I feel like a hot mess and want to just feel better.
You really need to get to the point. Ya it’s bad. Now talk about treating it. Amazing how you spend more time talking about the cause and not the treatment
Thank you for your work 👏🏼
Diet: Excess sugar, starch, high-fructose corn syrup, refined oils, and processed foods.
Lifestyle: Sedentary habits and stress exacerbate inflammation. Regular, moderate exercise and stress management (e.g., meditation, yoga, cold/heat therapy) can reduce it.
Toxins: Pesticides, heavy metals, and harmful chemicals in food, skincare, and household products.
Microbiome: Poor diets disrupt gut health, causing toxins to leak into the bloodstream, triggering systemic inflammation.
How can I stop stressing over it if I already have many inflammation factors like roundworms (which I try to get rid of), bad microbiome, autoimmune conditions, Herpes 6 and Epstein barre virus and I’m highly anxious person 😢I’m scared that before I eliminate all these negative factors it can lead to sth dangerous
Fake sugars ?
I don’t eat anything with sugar in it except apples if you call that sugar. I love apples. Is there any way around that?
I can just look at most people and see if they have chronic inflammation
Im 38 but feel 68 its the sugar. And i gotta stop my body feel bad stiff like ive been hit by a bus. 😢 im start over this new year.
My hero
What can we do to increase our focus when working without having sugar then? I sometimes need soda because it gives me focus to sit at my desk and work. Coffee gives me too much anxiety so I can’t drink it for focus.
I woke up with pain on my left body my arm my neck and left shoulder i can’t sleep for 15 days
My salivary glands have been swollen and my throat burns what can I do
Ebstein barr virus. Carbon monoxide. Both are issues for me.
Thank you so much,Dr. Mark Hyman!
Thank you, I’ ve learnt so much from you over the years!
Whatever reflux issue you were having while making this video is extremely distracting! Wanted to hear the content but had to stop because of your health issue. Was inflamation the cause?
Dr. Hyman is for the people! ❤
I hear so many people when they talk about diet recommend nuts and fish. What if you are allergic to both of those things as I am I have severe asthma and I have been allergic to these things on my whole life and has been hospitalized many times from getting nuts in my mouth or eating fish. What do you recommend for someone like me?
Wow you talk fast. Please slow it down so we can hear your words.

There were times I felt the worst, with anxiety, blooded, stressed, weak, it was all during a time I was eating a lot of sugar every day.
