Listen to the interview of Dr. Jockers with Dr. Peter Kan as they
give a sneak preview of the much anticipated Chronic Inflammation
Summit and mention a few topics that will be discussed by
renowned experts in chronic inflammation. In this interview, he
talks about the impact of blood sugar on the immune system when
there’s an imbalance of production in the body. He also talks
about blood sugar-related hormones like insulin and cortisol and
how an imbalance in the production of these hormones can be
detrimental to immune function.


 


“A blood sugar of 120 or more will reduce the phagocytic
index by 75%, basically crippling the immune system and the
ability to break down pathogens.”


-Dr. David Jockers
