Targeting Systemic Inflammation
Reducing overall inflammatory burden is crucial for addressing
neuroinflammation [143]:
● Anti-inflammatory dietary patterns such as the
Mediterranean diet have shown benefits [144]
● Identifying and addressing chronic infections reduces
inflammatory triggers [145]
● Managing autoimmune conditions helps reduce overall
immune dysregulation [146]
● Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) may help actively
resolve inflammation [147]
Environmental Detoxification
Addressing environmental triggers is essential for long-term
improvement [148]:
● Comprehensive mycotoxin testing and treatment may be
necessary in cases of mold exposure [149]
● Heavy metal assessment and appropriate detoxification
protocols can reduce toxic burden [150]
● Reducing ongoing chemical exposures helps minimize
immune triggers [151]
● Supporting natural detoxification pathways enhances the
body's ability to clear toxins [152]
Oxidative Stress Reduction
Neuroinflammation is closely linked to oxidative stress in neural
tissues [153]:
● Glutathione support is particularly important for neural
protection [154]
