Inflammation – Fastest Ways to Reduce It Naturally

Inflammation – Fastest Ways to Reduce It Naturally with Integrative Solutions

Introduction: Why Inflammation Needs a New Approach

Chronic inflammation is at the root of many modern health issues—from joint pain and fatigue to autoimmune diseases and even accelerated aging. At Patients Medical in New York City, we don’t just suppress inflammation with medications—we address why it’s happening.

Our integrative model blends functional medicine, nutrition, detox support, and hormonal balance to help you reduce inflammation quickly and naturally.
We treat the whole person—not just the inflammatory markers.

What Is Inflammation?

Inflammation is your body’s natural response to injury, infection, or toxins. In the short term, it’s healing. But when it lingers, it becomes chronic and harmful—contributing to pain, fatigue, gut issues, and more.

Two key types of inflammation:

  • Acute Inflammation: Short-lived response to injury or infection
  • Chronic Inflammation: Long-term, low-grade inflammation linked to poor lifestyle, stress, toxins, and gut imbalance

What Is Inflammation?

Common Symptoms of Inflammation

If you’re living with chronic inflammation, it may show up as:

The sooner inflammation is addressed, the faster healing begins.

Root Causes: Why Are You Inflamed?

Our functional medicine approach investigates what’s fueling your body’s inflammatory response. Common contributors include:

  • Sugar, processed foods, and seed oils
  • Food sensitivities and leaky gut
  • Environmental toxins: mold, pesticides, heavy metals
  • Chronic stress and elevated cortisol
  • Poor sleep
  • Hidden infections (Lyme, EBV, Candida)
  • Hormonal imbalances (thyroid, cortisol, estrogen/testosterone)
  • Sedentary lifestyle or overtraining

 

Diagnostic Testing We Use

At Patients Medical, we use advanced testing to identify inflammation and uncover its root causes:

High-sensitivity CRP, homocysteine, ESR

Food sensitivity testing (IgG/IgA)

Stool analysis and microbiome testing

Organic acids and toxin panels

Heavy metal testing

Hormone panels: cortisol, thyroid, estrogen/testosterone

Inflammatory cytokine profiles

Gut permeability ("leaky gut") tests

Integrative Treatments to Quickly Reduce Inflammation

Nutritional Therapy

The fastest way to calm inflammation is with food. We design personalized anti-inflammatory nutrition plans that may include:

  • Whole foods (vegetables, lean proteins, healthy fats)
  • Mediterranean or Paleo-style diets
  • Elimination protocols (AIP, gluten-free, dairy-free)
  • Intermittent fasting to reduce inflammatory load

 

Nutritional Therapy

IV Vitamin Therapy

IV infusions bypass digestion and deliver nutrients directly to your cells. Fast-acting anti-inflammatory drips may include:

  • High-dose vitamin C
  • Glutathione
  • Alpha-lipoic acid
  • B-complex
  • Magnesium

Herbal & Nutraceutical Support

Evidence-based supplements help reduce inflammation naturally. Common options include:

  • Curcumin (from turmeric)
  • Omega-3 fatty acids
  • Resveratrol
  • Quercetin
  • Boswellia
  • Magnesium
  • Vitamin D

All dosed and monitored by a functional medicine physician.

Stress Management

Since cortisol drives inflammation, stress reduction is a key part of fast relief. We offer:

  • Mindfulness meditation
  • Acupuncture
  • Nervine herbs (ashwagandha, holy basil)
  • Breathing and grounding practices

Hormone Balancing

Hormones like cortisol, insulin, and estrogen impact inflammation. We address:

  • Adrenal fatigue
  • Estrogen dominance
  • Thyroid imbalance
  • Insulin resistance
    We use bioidentical hormones and targeted natural support as needed.

  • Metabolic reset
  • Fat burning vs. calorie restriction
  • Hormonal balance for sustainable fat loss

  • Heavy metal chelation
  • Infrared sauna therapy
  • Liver support with herbs and nutrients

Real Case Study: Sarah’s Rapid Inflammation Turnaround

Sarah, age 38, came to us with joint stiffness, brain fog, and overwhelming fatigue. Despite a clean diet, her labs revealed:

  • Elevated CRP and homocysteine
  • Mold toxicity
  • Leaky gut
  • Low vitamin D

Her 8-week protocol included:

  • Anti-inflammatory nutrition
  • Glutathione and vitamin C IVs
  • Mold detox protocol
  • Gut repair supplements
  • Acupuncture for adrenal stress

In just two months, her CRP dropped from 8.6 to 1.2, her joint pain resolved, and she returned to work full time with renewed energy.
