Ep. 103 Part 2 Inflammation, Detox, and Fat Loss Resistance | What Chronic Inflammation Actually Means

Text us to let us know what you want to hear on the podcast!Inflammation gets blamed for everything, but very few people actually understand what it is, what it is doing, or why it matters so much for metabolism, detoxification, and fat loss resistance.In part 2 of this series, Jessica and Jillian break down what chronic inflammation actually means at the physiological level. This episode explains why inflammation is not just a symptom like puffiness, bloating, joint pain, fatigue, fluid retention, or scale spikes. It is an immune process. And when that process stays active for too long, it changes the entire internal environment your body is trying to function inside. Inside this episode, they walk through the difference between acute inflammation and chronic low-grade inflammation, why the liver plays such a central role in this conversation, and how inflammation can disrupt insulin signaling, thyroid output, mitochondrial function, water balance, digestion, recovery, and overall metabolic responsiveness. They also explain why so many women misread inflammation as fat gain and respond by dieting harder, training harder, and creating even more stress on an already overwhelmed system. You’ll also learn how detoxification actually works through Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III pathways, why bile flow, bowel movements, hydration, minerals, and drainage matter just as much as liver support, and what a smart Flush phase is actually designed to do. This is a clinical conversation about reducing inflammatory burden, improving elimination, and creating a body that is more stable, more responsive, and far better prepared for long-term fat loss and healing. If you have ever felt puffy, inflamed, stuck, reactive, exhausted, constipated, or frustrated that your body is not responding the way it used to, this episode will help you understand why.Reviews are everything!
