Understanding Root Causes of Inflammation
Inflammation can spike during the perimenopause years resulting in symptoms of fatigue, joint pains and new diagnosis of autoimmune conditions. As estrogen declines, inflammation rises, leading to an increased level of cytokines- chemicals in the immune system that drive chronic inflammation. At Sayana Medical, we investigate multiple factors that can trigger and maintain inflammation:
- Gut dysbiosis and intestinal permeability
- Food sensitivities and allergies
- Environmental toxins and exposures
- Chronic infections or immune dysregulation
- Stress and hormonal imbalances
- Nutrient deficiencies
