#17: Chronic inflammation could be why your muscles aren't growing (part three)


Listen Later

If you're choosing effective, early-phase loaded exercises, not over-training or under-training, and you're STILL not seeing muscle growth, chronic inflammation could be why.

Chronic inflammation can lead to muscle wasting, fatigue, pain, and more. It could be a reason why you're working out, but not seeing great results.

In this episode, Dr. Shannon discusses what contributes to chronic inflammation in the musculoskeletal system: stress, overuse, trauma, and dehydration/nutritional deficits.

She discusses why these four things can happen, and how to address them to ultimately see better results.
