The Details
Chronic inflammation acts like a slow internal “static” that interrupts your body’s normal metabolic communication. When inflammatory markers like CRP rise, your cells become less responsive to insulin — meaning glucose has a harder time getting into cells where it’s supposed to be used as energy. This often leads to higher blood sugar, higher insulin levels, and more fat storage over time. Poor sleep, chronic stress, frequent sugar intake, ultra-processed foods, and an overload of inflammatory oils (like some refined seed oils) all contribute to this cycle. The result is a metabolism that becomes less efficient — burning fewer calories at rest, sending stronger hunger signals, and struggling to recover after meals or workouts. Inflammation also damages the mitochondria (your cellular engines), which can leave you feeling tired even when you’re eating “enough.
