C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
C-Reactive Protein (CRP) - This test measures the level of CRP in your blood to identify inflammation and monitor conditions like bacterial infections, rheumatic fever, arthritis, heart attacks, and cancer. It's also used to check inflammation levels after surgery. However, it's important to note that this test might not pick up small increases in CRP that could indicate a higher risk of heart disease.

As a naturopathic physician, former Chief Scientific Officer of a nutraceutical company, and member of MADE SAFE’s Scientific Advisory Board, I bring a discerning eye to clean beauty and high-quality supplements. I look beyond the label, to ingredients, formulation, and the science behind them. My recommendations consider when and how to use supplements, potential interactions with medications, and how everything fits into your care.
