Episode notes

Are you concerned about how stress, diet, and lifestyle choices could be impacting your long-term health? In this episode, we delve deep into the science behind chronic inflammation and its role as a predictor for many diseases. Discover how measuring biomarkers such as SUPAR (Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor) can offer groundbreaking insights into aging, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, and even mental health.

Jesper Eugene Olsen, a biochemist with over 28 years of experience, has pioneered research in chronic inflammation, transforming how we understand its impact on our immune system and overall health. Through his research and development of the SUPAR test, Jesper provides a proactive approach to assessing your biological age and risk factors for chronic diseases.

“Chronic inflammation isn't just a symptom; it's a predictor of how fast we age and our risk for numerous diseases.” - Jesper Eugene Olsen

In this episode, you will learn:

How chronic inflammation is measured and its correlation with diseases like cardiovascular issues, diabetes, and even mental health.
The role of SUPAR as a predictor for aging and how it provides a window into your immune system's activity.
The lifestyle factors—such as diet, smoking, and exercise—that contribute to chronic inflammation and how adjusting these can reduce risk.
How stress, whether from lifestyle or significant life events, contributes to chronic inflammation and what you can do about it.
The relationship between chronic inflammation and fast-aging cells, and how tracking biomarkers can help with prevention.
