Elevated ESR (14 mm/hr) and hs-CRP (5.26 mg/L) suggest chronic inflammation, which can impact metabolism and hinder weight loss. This could be due to stress, gut health issues, hormonal imbalances, or underlying medical conditions.
A few dietary and lifestyle changes may help:
Anti-inflammatory Diet: Increase omega-3s (fatty fish, flaxseeds), turmeric, ginger, berries, and green leafy vegetables. Reduce processed foods, sugar, and refined oils.
Gut Health Support: Include probiotics (curd, buttermilk) and fiber-rich foods.
Manage Stress & Sleep: Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which can cause inflammation and hinder fat loss. Prioritize 7–8 hours of sleep and relaxation techniques.
Next Steps
Rule out conditions like autoimmune disorders, insulin resistance, or gut dysbiosis through further investigations.
Consider thyroid panel, fasting insulin, and vitamin D/B12 levels for better clarity.
If weight loss is the primary concern, a personalized anti-inflammatory diet plan may be beneficial.
Health Tips
Avoid extreme diets or over-exercising, as they can increase inflammation.
Stay hydrated and include herbal teas like chamomile or green tea for added benefits.
Would you like a customized diet plan to help manage inflammation and support weight loss effectively?

Hi
Good afternoon!
Do you mean ESR?
Both of them indicate infection or inflammation, but the exact cause. Please check with your doctor once.
Weight loss can be hard without addressing underlying inflammation. Do you have any other hormonal issues?
