Let's talk about that frustrating weight loss plateau. Trust me, I've been there – measuring every morsel, sweating through workouts, and still nothing on that digital demon sitting on your bathroom floor.

But here's the thing – what if I told you it's not your fault? What if your body is actually doing exactly what it's designed to do when it thinks it's under attack?

That's right. We need to talk about inflammation – the hidden fire keeping your body in full-on defense mode.

Picture your body as a smart fortress. When inflammation rises, your fortress raises the drawbridge. Your cells go, "Nope! We're not letting go of resources because we're under siege!" And just like that, fat-burning goes into hibernation.
