You may have heard how we all experience some levels of inflammation in our bodies.

And how in small doses, inflammation is completely normal.

Now you know how inflammation in the body can also cause disruption to all of our major organs, and even prevent us from releasing extra weight.

But it’s not all bad news...

Research is starting to pile up showing how consuming anti-inflammatory foods, performing anti-inflammatory movements and loving mindset exercises could...

• Reduce adult acne...nobody likes looking in the mirror to see bumpy, blotchy skin staring back — Well, it’s time to tame the fires and experience a smoother, healthier complexion.

• Ease aches and pains in the joints... if “leaping” out of bed in the morning sounds more like an olympic sport than pure joy, you’re going to LOVE how keeping inflammation in check can work WONDERS for how your body feels.
• Balance stress hormones... Cortisol is known as the “stress hormone” and like everything in the body, it serves a purpose. But when it’s out of balance, you can’t sleep, you feel antsy, and focus suffers. Keep reading to see how you can FEEL calmer… and sleep better… with a few simple movements I love doing DAILY!
• Increase energy... No more mid-day slumps for you… with balanced inflammation, energy levels are maintained in a more natural way, so you don’t need to rely on a bottomless cup of coffee to keep that pep in your step!
• And so much more

Did you know that inflammation also affects your weight no matter how many
(or how little) calories you consume?

That’s right, here are…

3 ways Inflammation makes and KEEPS you fat

#1 Inflammation Begins In Fat Cells

Did you know inflammation actually starts in your fat cells?

This means the more fat you carry, the more inflamed you may be. It’s a cycle which begins in your fat cells themselves.

This happens because as glucose (sugar) is delivered, your cells produce extra reactive oxygen species — I see these as little enemies of a healthy body — which causes inflammation within your cells. 

This inflammation expands fat cells like an overfilled water balloon, making them appear “puffy” and larger than they really are!

Not Good!

#2 Inflammation Prevents Fat From Breaking Down

Next, inflammation creates insulin resistance. You may already know that insulin both inhibits the breakdown of fat cells AND stimulates the creation of body fat. 

In other words, it tells your body to stop burning fat while making it MORE efficient at creating fat, by converting fatty acids and glucose in your blood into fat.

It’s a cycle that, if left unchecked, could lead to more serious health concerns.

#3 Inflammation Makes You HUNGRY, even if you’re eating “clean!”

As if that weren’t enough already, inflammation also makes you HUNGRY by causing your hypothalamus (in your brain) to become resistant to leptin. ¹⁵

Leptin is a hormone that helps regulate your appetite and metabolism. When Leptin is present, you simply don’t get hungry.

Unfortunately, when there is excess fat in the body, this fat secretes MORE leptin than your cells can handle, and your brain stops receiving Leptin — and without Leptin, you get hungry!

The result is a plummeting metabolism and an increasing appetite.

I’m sure you agree this is NOT an optimal combo.

To sum that up...

Inflammation turns food into fat...and makes you “HANGRY”!
