How to reduce chronic inflammation.
In this brief talk, the speaker recounts an anecdote about an employee at Upgrade Labs who, despite following a bullet‑proof, animal‑protein‑rich diet, could not lower her elevated C‑reactive protein (CRP) levels. After a month of intensive cryotherapy—using the larger cryotherapy equipment at Upgrade Labs rather than simple cold plunges—her CRP dropped noticeably. The speaker uses this story to argue that avoiding meat is a misguided approach to chronic inflammation. Instead, they recommend practical, evidence‑adjacent changes: cutting out fried foods, limiting exposure to bright light at night, and avoiding darkness in the morning. These adjustments, combined with occasional cryotherapy, are presented as a more effective strategy for managing chronic inflammation.
