Wow, there's a doctor fishbowl? I would like to see that! Is there one doctor swimming around in it or a school of doctors swimming around? What do you feed them? Amazing!!!
@@koof1776 No, not a member "of that individual group" or any group, I just enjoy watching fish! Some of them are probably doctors, lawyers and teachers!
Wonderfully informative! This is my favorite cardiologist on the internet! I last got CRP tested in 2020, mine was great at 0.3 units (low risk for systemic inflammation). This discussion reminded me to add the high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) to my annual tests for 2023. My Story: I am male, age 66, a retired chief scientist from one of the most stressful corporate technical-leadership jobs in the US (rocket industry), yet, I take no more pills. 5 years ago I consciously dropped statin for cholesterol and dropped metformin for "pre-diabetes" (in my case the statin lowered my cholesterol but raised my blood sugar! What I later learned about statins was eye opening) Without statin my cholesterol is still above the US guidelines, yet all my cardiovascular markers (hs-CRP, Coronary Calcium score, Apo-B, sd-LDL, Lipoprotein a, etc.) are all "normal". And, with my current lifestyle my blood sugar is also normal (HbA1C about 5) -- no "pre-diabetes". ... Unfortunately, most physicians in US today are pill-peddlers, they cling to demonstrably flawed studies that set guidelines, do not take the time to keep up with new knowledge and are beholden to the big-pharma lobbies. And most are too scared to go off-script from their outdated training lest they be sued. So, I now actively manage my health with sensible food (one meal a day) regular walks with my wife, and yoga at gym. (And still inventing aerospace components for fun in my retirement.) I have been doing annual blood tests for many years and plotting all the metrics ... Thankfully, with sensible lifestyle and taking charge of my own health all my biomarkers are good with Zero meds. It can be done.
Excellent video which has come too late for me. I'm a 72 years old male and just diagnosed with multi level intermittent claudication and heart failure.Right now I am trying my best to stay positive. Thank you for this information.
I don't drink enough water, don't sleep good and enough, have a stressful job, generally not too happy and do not eat well. You nailed it I'm in trouble. Dr. Gupta as always great lecture.
I appreciated every word you shared from "the science" to testing, cultural differences etc. My very favorite part was the very last few minutes when you you said what hsCRPers can do about these flagged or elevated numbers: eat well, (more fruits and vegetables), hydrate, get better sleep, exercise , reduce exposure to toxins, add more happiness, joy, better relationships, reduce stress. AMEN. Keep up the fine work!
A few years ago I went to see a doctor and mentioned CRP. The doctor was surprised that I was familiar with the word. She laughed it off but I insisted on getting tested. Turned out my CRP was off the charts. (80). Many thanks to Dr. Gupta for bringing CRP out of the closet. Like an ambulance, CRP is always around when bad things happen. The problem with treating heart disease and hypertension is that little is known about underlying causes. My CRP level did come down for unknown reasons but remains relatively high.
This was very helpful in understanding CRP. I am African American with a CRP of 3.19. It's a little scary realizing I'm at high risk for a future cardiac event, but with knowledge comes power & I'm going to do what it takes to bring that level down. Thank you for this informative & educational video.
To sum up your advice, Anti-inflammatory agents that nature provides us: 1. Eating good healthy food 2. Keeping well hydrated 3. Getting good sleep 4. Reducing stress 5. Getting plenty of exercises 6. Avoiding toxins 7. Being happy, joyful as much as possible because happiness and joy are very anti-inflammatory and keeps us well
@@driftwud1978 Any foods that are not available 10,000 years ago are bad such as: alcohol, drugs, sugar, seed oils, refined carbs, processed foods, industrial raised animals, food additives, GMOs.
I switched to a low carb ketovore lifestyle nearly 5 years ago. I have always had higher cholesterol with good ratios, but still high. I used to be on a statin, but when the guidelines changed it wasn't recommended at that time. Before I went low carb, I always had a high hs crp around 3 -and felt actual pain with inflammation, especially after eating grains and sugars. All these years later, my hs crp is 0.5 and CAC is zero with one measuring "scant'. My cholesterol is still high, much higher I see, than when I ate plant based, unprocessed, organic. I now eat a lot of saturated fat, olive and avocado oil (no seed oils or grains/sugar). My AIC decrease from over 6 to 5.4. My HDL average is 85; triglycerides are 90 average; LDL - over 200 (!), c peptied average with insulin fasting at 11. I'm striving to bring that number down to 6. All my other labs, including thyroid are fine. A CGM (continuous glucose monitor) shows I stay 100% in range but I still worry over morning fasting levels being in the pre diabetic range. Spikes are all less than 170 for meals though, and it returns to baseline under 140 within 2 hours. I'm intrigued by the lean mass hyperresponder studies with LDL levels in the carnivore community, I wonder if you have had the opportunity to read this new study? I'm a 57 year old woman on no medications. My goal is to stay inflammation free with lifestyle and watch the rest fall into place. I've come to believe that inflammation markers are vital to know, and if I had the means to only monitor one lab, it would be hs crp.
What a gift you are, Doctor Sanjay! The information you provide, delivered by such a handsome personable young man is truly a gift. I hope what goes around comes back around to you tenfold. It is in giving that we receive and I hope it's true for you. Love you, Doc.
Have you entertained the concept that for some people the giving is the reward? Try it. Don’t give if your doing so to get back something. Give when the giving is the reward itself and when you can be free of any expectation of what the gift will accomplish. If that means you never give then take a look at that.

Dr. Gupta you are a wonderful medical educator. Someone commented that you are a gift. I agree that you are a gift to humanity. Hope you keep the videos coming. Thank you.
Just want to say what a lovely cardiologist, I'm seeing a gastroologist as I was rushed in to hospital, because of inflammation, and aneamia, the consultant is trying to find out why iv these issues as didn't have a gi bleed, he thinks it could be something like rumatoid arthritis,or infection, I'm 62yrs of age, I lost my dad at 67yrs to a heart attack, I'm disabled, so have limited mobility, try to eat good foods, don't smoke or drink, am on daily painkillers has iv a lumber sacral injury and underlying spondelithesis, good hearing what you had to say about inflammation.so enjoyed hearing you put this in layman's terms,us patients can understand. Your patients are lucky to have you, from jayne walton, of bristol. Bestwiishes to you.
Are Doctors, specifically Cardiologist, educated in this and if so, why is it not discussed and treated with the patient? AFIB brought me to Google and Dr. Gupta. Everything I've learned, I've learned from him. Thank you, Dr. Gupta, for your education, your great communication skills and most of all, your willingness to share them with us. They are truly a gift.
You are amazing and have relived so much of my anxiety after watching your videos….your intellect and knowledge should be shared with everyone who doesn’t get this information from their doctors….Bless you and your ability to speak in layman’s terms…I have been seeking answers for a long time…I happened upon you on UTUBE and I will definitely be following and sharing your expertise with everyone I know….
So informative, not rambling at all. We are very lucky you take the time to share your knowledge with us...thank you so much. I'm glad i saw this tonight. Im going in for ablation treatment in a couple of weeks so will work at getting my inflammation down. I just noticed it was 3 on my last bloods in March. Thanks again 🫂 🙏
Your ramblings, as you called it, are very informative and helpful. I appreciate your experience and insight into understanding what my CRP level could mean. Thank you and please continue to educate.
Dr. York, your communication style is superb -educational, direct, great metaphors, and not alarmist - thank you for bringing your gift here, in your obviously well thought out video presentations! Not to mention the SCIENCE and clinical knowledge that you bring to bear . . . we (I, for one) benefit from the practical essence of human health: Sleep, Stress, Nutrition, Happiness, . . . everything that is known to reduce our bodies inflammation and inflammatory response. Please know that I learn much from each episode, in this case I've learned (with my autoimmune condition) that my mediocre and/or hard to pin down rare doc visits/labs have more often than not overlooked hsCRP. I will pay closer attention from now on! Thank you for your amazing offerings here on yt.
I was born in 1965, my blood pressure is 110/70 and my C~Reactive Protein = 0.7. I have had a lifelong Keto lifestyle (before it had a name) I eat steak most nights and lots of veggies but no fruit, bread, cereal or grains. 🙏🏻👱🏻♀️❣️
I have been listening to your talks, not ramblings for five years. I am so thankful for what you do and I hope you do it forever. You are helping millions of people because not only the ones that listen to your talks, but they also go on to inform other people what they’ve learned from you and on and on. Cheers from Connecticut USA
thank you for sharing your knowledge. my mum is currently in the ICU, battling severe sepsis and peritonitis after her bowel perforated. i was told her crp has come down a hell of a lot since she was first hospitalised but it’s still over 200. i pray she gets through this 🙏🏻
I had an emergency last 2july 2021❤️but all I hear that my Toponin is high and need a stench, but at end I didn't do it. So I found out that Toponin can be lower by eating healthy and lots of nitrate oxide /beets supply. Now after 3weeks I'm doing good. Thanks God 😇Dr. Sanjay Gupta are right on point. God bless him🙏🙏😇
If it’s high troponin levels you are talking about, then that usually means a heart attack has already happened. If you didn’t get the stent, hopefully you are doing okay now.
Thankyou again.... after 30 years of pondering.... MY diagnosis was correct....tv is potentially the pandemic and communication with someone who talks to you about what YOU need to talk about is vital to feeling happy... and being happy in turn keeps you less ill. Thankyou...... thankyou thankyou thankyou, Dave
A great video. Thank you. Because of your video, I made an appointment with my PCP to have my hs-CRP measured to detect whether I have chronic inflammation or not, because the greatest driver of chronic disease and aging is inflammation. My other inflammation marker, Sedimentation Rate (ESR), is within normal limits (14). Thank you for this very educational video. I also watch your great videos on P.O.T.S.
Thanks again for a clear, balanced and interesting presentation of very useful information. I love your channel and appreciate so much the effort you put into keeping us informed. I think that knowledge from someone as caring, informed and enquiring as yourself is the best medecine.
It is very helpful and not 'rambling' in any way. You are increasing good knowledge of people and hence making them more capable to handle their condition. Thank you! Keep up the good work!
Lovely to chance on your page. I've learnt soo much watching about 5 of your videos in a roll this morning. Im a newly qualified nurse in a cardiac ward. Thanks so much.
I’ve just been given a crp marker of 4. Had to find out what exactly that means. V helpful video… so articulate and informative. Thank you. Thank you 🙏🏼
How kind Mr O'grady - thanks you! Thank you for your support- it would mean a tonne if you’d consider subscribing to the channel. Also I try and do some regular broadcasts via WhatsApp on +44795131008
I had raised CRP for years. Questioned Dr. did not get any answer. Now I have a stent and I have diabetes. I have become so much educated and can raise smart questions and also educate others. Thanks Dr Gupta. Bless you.
@@Jenny-doglover but u have a stent ??? My hs crp test is 9.6 im so scared and cholesterol is high doctor put me on lipitor so high crp can cause a heartattack
@@genesisj9349 yes I had a stent last year. That is the whole issue. I am 56yrs old no family history of heart disease. Always looked after my diet. I am a nurse so not a sedentary lifestyle. Do not smoke or drink. So the Drs never worried about my heart. I still wonder how did this happen.
I love this explanation, thank you so much. Since I have elevated Lp(a), I had been tracking my hs-CRP, and I didn't know that healthy peope can belong to a subset of high CRP levels.
If Dr. Gupta were a doctor in Canada, all of this information would likely cost him his medical license. We tend to take the license from science-based doctors here. We prefer obedience over scientific accuracy. I am grateful to have access to all of this moderately technical information. THIS is the future of medicine - once our governments lose their monopoly.
And the "plandemic" really showed the world what following "science" has become...Thankfully we still have access to these wonderful doctors here on RUclips and elsewhere...
Thank you Dr. Gupta! Everything you have shared, brings so much understanding about what is happening in my body. Appreciate and have so much respect for you. Your videos are not that long. Most Doctors are busy, I understand that, so if information would be shared, we wouldn't leave the doctors office with more concerns. I've decided to ask more questions and help my dr. Understand me. Thanks so much.
It can be caused by a wide variety of conditions, from infection to cancer. High CRP levels can also indicate that there's inflammation in the arteries of the heart, which can mean a higher risk of heart attack.👍
I had sudden all over body pain and bumpy irregular heartbeat, my CRP came back 14mg/L I’ve had a bumpy heart since my Pfizer booster last year which has caused me anxiety. Thank you for your ramblings, this one is particularly helpful to me.
I had similar result, racing heart, etc. I had a heart ablation prior to getting booster in Dec.21 and heart went crazy, actually had Covid when getting booster not aware of it...things have not been right since. My CRP came back 4.1 recently and doc says it is out of range and cholosteral has well..
Ten minutes in, he finally talks about actual CRP numbers that would be considered high, or less elevated, and low numbers. This is the first RUclips video where actual numbers are discussed instead of vague words like “elevated.” Some people have a CRP of 3 and their doctors want them to go on statins. Others are stating their CRP levels are 14, 24, 50 and the like, and their doctors do not have them on statins. I wonder whether these RUclipsrs ever Eda the comments and try to understand what it is people want to know and then maybe address it more directly and specifically in the next video.
doctor! not only are you very intellagent, kind and caring, but have a heart for helping people. You can easily be a model, you are blessed with good looks as well 😊 Can you take magnesium and potassium with blood pressure meds. i use amlodipine 10mg
Thank you for the very informative session. I was challenged in the recent placement in Hospital in the Home area to deal with people with serious infectious diseases and being questioned for the markers of inflammation. I wish I had known the high sensitivity CRP as well as the test does not answer the ultimate cause and where the health issues was triggered.
My doctor does a full inflammation panel and not just CRP. Lpplac2.. myeloperoxidase and microalbumin-creatinine. In addition to oral glucose tolerance test with insulin survey. This will show your real risk but sadly most doctors don't bother with these tests end insurance usually doesn't cover them
I needed to hear this today. I have an abnormally high hs-CRP which is quite scary. I have been guided towards an arthritis diagnosis but this doesn’t seem correct since my joints are not in pain and I have great range of motion. This video makes more sense. I will make an appointment with a cardiologist to further investigate. Thank you for blessing us with your knowledge and expertise.
I'm working with a functional medicine Dr. And she says if it's not better in 6 months then we will get more aggressive. Right now I'm exercising more, less alcohol, turmeric and less stress.
Thank you very much for this video - and so many others. I found you while looking for information on bradycardia and ended up watching several of your videos. Very understandable and this discussion of CRP is fascinating. I intend to discuss it with my physician soon. 6:20
Thank you for explaining this so we'll! I've had a stroke last year and high blood pressure is now my hourly companion. If ones genetics is the problem, guilty as charged. My father died at 49 of a heart failure and stroke and his brother died of a stroke too.for years I was told because.l.am a woman and didn't smoke I needn't worry....surprise!!!at 69 I'm alive but sick.yuck!!!your video gave so much real information
Over and over again you stress the importance of lessening the body’s inflammation and the importance of being happy, having exercise, good nutrition, reduced stress, sleep etc. I think I am getting it.😄
It would be good to talk about the inflammatory Homocysteine from digesting methionine from meat, and the quenching with folate B6/12/1-3 with magnesium and other minerals.

How u are bringing crp level down
Get your CAC score. That can tell you if you have plaque buildup around your heart. 😁👍
Avoid carbs
Sauna use 3-4x a week of at least 20 min has proven to lower cardiac issues if that’s a concern for you.
Actually, CIMT id a better test yo detect soft plaque.CAC tells you only whether there’s calcium accumulated in your coronary artery.
I lowered my CRP significantly using bromelain. Hopefully this along with my much improved diet will help my artery plaquing.

Anti-inflammatory agents that nature provides us:
1. Eating good healthy food
2. Keeping well hydrated
3. Getting good sleep

7. Being happy, joyful as much as possible because happiness and joy are very anti-inflammatory and keeps us well

I had raised CRP for years. Questioned Dr. did not get any answer. Now I have a stent and I have diabetes. I have become so much educated and can raise smart questions and also educate others. Thanks Dr Gupta. Bless you.
How high was ur crp
Levels?
@@genesisj9349 Hi. I do not remember the exact figure. But was mildly raised for a number of years. But a few numbers above the normal.
@@Jenny-doglover but u have a stent ??? My hs crp test is 9.6 im so scared and cholesterol is high doctor put me on lipitor so high crp can cause a heartattack
@@genesisj9349 yes I had a stent last year. That is the whole issue. I am 56yrs old no family history of heart disease. Always looked after my diet. I am a nurse so not a sedentary lifestyle. Do not smoke or drink. So the Drs never worried about my heart. I still wonder how did this happen.
@@Jenny-doglover maybe stress? What were ur symptoms when u went in the er
Thank you , Dr Sanjay Gupta❤
Thank you for always incorporating how lifestyle affects our health !
Very informative! Sanjay Gupta you are a very kind and caring man full of knowledge and an expert at getting that knowledge across to people. 😊
Oh my you’re sooo handsome and smart. I’m a nurse in cardiology love ur Videos
🤔...😏😏😏
That you again Bubba?
Joy and keeping away from bad vices is good advice. Can you imagine if this wsd taught to children in schools. Thanks Doc
I love this explanation, thank you so much. Since I have elevated Lp(a), I had been tracking my hs-CRP, and I didn't know that healthy peope can belong to a subset of high CRP levels.
Always appreciate your insight. It would be very positive if the majority of physicians were as objective as you are.
You are a caring and refined person. Thank you for doing this .
Very detailed information thank you Doc for taking the time to explain so patiently.
This video is important for long Covid
If Dr. Gupta were a doctor in Canada, all of this information would likely cost him his medical license. We tend to take the license from science-based doctors here. We prefer obedience over scientific accuracy.
I am grateful to have access to all of this moderately technical information. THIS is the future of medicine - once our governments lose their monopoly.
Same in the US! Its allabout money
And the "plandemic" really showed the world what following "science" has become...Thankfully we still have access to these wonderful doctors here on RUclips and elsewhere...
Thank you so much Dr. Gupta for this informative video , you are always kind .. God bless you 🙏
I was planning to have this test done, and your video popped up! Thanks for the information!
Thank you Dr. Gupta! Everything you have shared, brings so much understanding about what is happening in my body. Appreciate and have so much respect for you. Your videos are not that long. Most Doctors are busy, I understand that, so if information would be shared, we wouldn't leave the doctors office with more concerns. I've decided to ask more questions and help my dr. Understand me. Thanks so much.
It can be caused by a wide variety of conditions, from infection to cancer. High CRP levels can also indicate that there's inflammation in the arteries of the heart, which can mean a higher risk of heart attack.👍
I had sudden all over body pain and bumpy irregular heartbeat, my CRP came back 14mg/L I’ve had a bumpy heart since my Pfizer booster last year which has caused me anxiety. Thank you for your ramblings, this one is particularly helpful to me.
I had similar result, racing heart, etc. I had a heart ablation prior to getting booster in Dec.21 and heart went crazy, actually had Covid when getting booster not aware of it...things have not been right since. My CRP came back 4.1 recently and doc says it is out of range and cholosteral has well..
How are you now Dean? @@deannkennedy1795
@@deannkennedy1795 What did you do? Did anything change? I'm 3.9 right now.
Wonderful 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Dr. Gupta for this video!!!!!!
What a kind and caring doctor. Sending you a great blessing.
A lot of good knowledge reporting facts.
The ending comments were in line with healthy lifestyle.
Thank you!
Thank you for educating us on this important information. ❣️
Thank you Doctor! I wish you were my doctor. Just perfect 🙏🏼☺️
You da best, Doc.
Question: Can tumeric and nitric oxide help in addressing da infilamation?
Ten minutes in, he finally talks about actual CRP numbers that would be considered high, or less elevated, and low numbers. This is the first RUclips video where actual numbers are discussed instead of vague words like “elevated.” Some people have a CRP of 3 and their doctors want them to go on statins. Others are stating their CRP levels are 14, 24, 50 and the like, and their doctors do not have them on statins. I wonder whether these RUclipsrs ever Eda the comments and try to understand what it is people want to know and then maybe address it more directly and specifically in the next video.
Thank you from NYC thumbs up.
Easy to understand your explanations
Oh my god I’ve had a high CRP for the last 6 years and my doctors don’t seem to care about it which worries me
?
Tell us about the lifestyle changes you undertook to help yourself.
Take magnesium
I have it for many years. My doctor says that I am asymptomatic???
Look to your B12@
Thank you. Inspiring and positive words. I need to take better care of me.
So interesting! Awesome information Dr. Gupta! Have a wonderful day!
doctor! not only are you very intellagent, kind and caring, but have a heart for helping people. You can easily be a model, you are blessed with good looks as well 😊
Can you take magnesium and potassium with blood pressure meds. i use amlodipine 10mg
Please continue this line of analysis related to inflammation 👍🏻
God bless you for not being symptoms medicating doctor and informing people of natural alternatives!
And very helpful ' ramblings' they are too !
Thank you for the very informative session. I was challenged in the recent placement in Hospital in the Home area to deal with people with serious infectious diseases and being questioned for the markers of inflammation. I wish I had known the high sensitivity CRP as well as the test does not answer the ultimate cause and where the health issues was triggered.
My doctor does a full inflammation panel and not just CRP. Lpplac2.. myeloperoxidase and microalbumin-creatinine. In addition to oral glucose tolerance test with insulin survey. This will show your real risk but sadly most doctors don't bother with these tests end insurance usually doesn't cover them
exactly
Really? How often does your doctor do this for you?

@@greggray3741 Dr. Ford Brewer, wish he was my PCP, lol!
The best video explaining CRP 👌 thank you 👍 😊
Thanks for taking time to explain CRP.
Greetings and many thanks for all the explanation dear Doctor. You are a gem. Thank you so much!
Joy is anti inflammatory
Thank you so very much for this thorough explanation of CRP. Very helpful.
Very informative.. you are such a sweet person. God bless you always.
Thank you for your informative videos. You are a blessing to humanity.
I needed to hear this today. I have an abnormally high hs-CRP which is quite scary. I have been guided towards an arthritis diagnosis but this doesn’t seem correct since my joints are not in pain and I have great range of motion. This video makes more sense. I will make an appointment with a cardiologist to further investigate. Thank you for blessing us with your knowledge and expertise.
What is your score?
@@robkoering2702 latest results indicate a score of 10.5. Did you have a similar experience?
@@janetmo my score is 7.6. All other bloods fine.
I'm working with a functional medicine Dr. And she says if it's not better in 6 months then we will get more aggressive. Right now I'm exercising more, less alcohol, turmeric and less stress.
Thanks for a clear picture of what elevated CRP means...
Thank you very much for this video - and so many others. I found you while looking for information on bradycardia and ended up watching several of your videos. Very understandable and this discussion of CRP is fascinating. I intend to discuss it with my physician soon. 6:20
What was the feedback
Thank you for explaining this so we'll! I've had a stroke last year and high blood pressure is now my hourly companion. If ones genetics is the problem, guilty as charged. My father died at 49 of a heart failure and stroke and his brother died of a stroke too.for years I was told because.l.am a woman and didn't smoke I needn't worry....surprise!!!at 69 I'm alive but sick.yuck!!!your video gave so much real information
Listening to your voice is joy
Looking at him is even better! Very handsome.
Thank you for all that you share , it's greatly appreciated
So glad you are still doing your videos!!!!!! 😅
Over and over again you stress the importance of lessening the body’s inflammation and the importance of being happy, having exercise, good nutrition, reduced stress, sleep etc. I think I am getting it.😄
Outstanding teacher, thank you. 🌹
5 years ago you were talking abuot the enzyme qe can measure for inflammation amd here we are, we can measure it now.
Please feel free to ramble more....love it!
It would be good to talk about the inflammatory Homocysteine from digesting methionine from meat, and the quenching with folate B6/12/1-3 with magnesium and other minerals.
Thank you for the elucidation. My education continues.
Thank you Dr. Gupta. You make this very easy to understand.
