is there something akin to a continuous glucose monitor but for inflammatory biomarkers? it would be so dope to be able to watch your body respond in real time to the foods you eat the way you can with a cgm

The closest thing I've seen is the antioxidant index from Samsung's latest Galaxy Watch: https://www.mobihealthnews.com/news/samsung-debuts-galaxy-wa...

It specifically measures carotenoids through the optical heart rate sensor -- you mostly get carotenoids from eating vegetables, and they do reduce inflammation.

Came here to asks this. This could unlock a super powerful feedback loop towards fantastic health.
