Inflammation & Immune Panels
Acute inflammation is how you heal a cut. Chronic inflammation is the same machinery left switched on for years, and it is one of the most commonly missed drivers in medicine.
Who this is for
Patients whose symptoms span several systems at once — which is usually the signature of something systemic rather than several separate problems.
Chronic inflammation is a driver, not a diagnosis. The panel is where the search starts, not where it ends.
What the program includes
Inflammatory markers
hs-CRP among others, measured properly rather than inferred from symptoms — so the question of whether there is systemic activation gets an actual answer.
Immune markers
Testing that looks for immune reactions standard panels do not capture, including where the immune system is dysregulated rather than simply weak.
The gut connection
When the gut's mucosal barrier is damaged, its tight junctions loosen and particles leak into the bloodstream, where the immune system attacks them. Gut testing is often run alongside for that reason.
What the results lead to
Where inflammation is confirmed, treatment can include peptides that modulate immune response rather than broadly suppress it — BPC-157, TB-500 and KPV among them.
How this program runs
Foundational Assessment — $599
A full biological picture before anything is prescribed: symptoms, history, goals and comprehensive bloodwork, reviewed by Dr. Varano.
Membership — $279 / month
Ongoing clinical oversight, direct clinician messaging between visits, and protocol adjustments based on how you actually respond.
Your protocol
Built to your labs and your goals, then re-checked and adjusted as your numbers move. Nothing here is a fixed script.
Current program pricing is listed on the specialty treatment plans page.
What we track
Inflammatory markers are re-run through treatment, because 'feeling better' and 'inflammation resolving' are not always the same thing and it is worth knowing which one is happening.

Questions patients ask us
What is the difference between acute and chronic inflammation?
Acute inflammation is a vital, temporary defense that resolves once a threat is neutralized, like healing a cut. Chronic systemic inflammation occurs when the immune system stays switched on.
How does gut trouble lead to full-body inflammation?
When the gut's mucosal barrier is damaged, its tight junctions loosen and microscopic particles leak into the bloodstream. The immune system attacks these particles as invaders, driving systemic inflammation.
How do peptides address inflammation differently?
Because they mimic sequences the body already produces, peptides act as signaling molecules that can modulate the immune system and support tissue repair rather than broadly suppressing immunity.
Which peptides are used for chronic inflammation here?
The clinic highlights BPC-157, TB-500, and KPV as compounds that can help modulate immune response, repair damaged tissue, and restore balance in the body.
How is specialty testing different from a standard lab panel?
It is meant to detect hidden drivers such as heavy metal exposure, gut imbalances, immune reactions, and cellular aging that routine labs may not capture.
