What Is Inflammation?
Is your body’s natural response to injury or infection. When acute, it helps the body heal. But when inflammation becomes chronic, it turns into an internal stressor, creating damage at the cellular level. Unfortunately, chronic inflammation often flies under the radar, driven by factors like:- Poor nutrition (high-sugar, processed foods)
- Lack of movement
- Stress
- Environmental toxins
- Poor sleep habits
- Hormonal Imbalances
- Poor detoxication
3 Ways Inflammation Leads to Fat Gain
Inflammation sets off a cascade of hormonal changes that directly impact body fat:1. Insulin Resistance
Inflammation impairs the body’s ability to use insulin effectively, leading to elevated blood sugar and increased fat storage.2. Elevated Cortisol
Chronic stress and inflammation drive up cortisol, a hormone linked to abdominal fat accumulation.3. Leptin Resistance
Inflammation can interfere with leptin, the hormone responsible for regulating hunger and metabolism, causing increased cravings and decreased satiety.Signs You May Have Inflammation-Driven Weight Gain
You don’t need a lab test to know your body is inflamed. Some common symptoms include:- Stubborn belly fat
- Fatigue or brain fog
- Joint pain
- Digestive issues
- Difficulty losing weight despite effort
