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."
