Obesity, Fat Tissue, and Inflammatory Arthritis: What’s the Connection? with Dr. Sarah Stombaugh

Adipose tissue (body fat) isn’t just “stored energy”—it’s biologically active and can release inflammatory signals. For people living with inflammatory arthritis (like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and lupus), that matters because it can influence pain, fatigue, disease activity, and sometimes even how well treatments work.In this video, Dr. Isabelle Amigues explains the intersection of overweight/obesity and inflammatory arthritis—without shame, and with a focus on what’s actually helpful.We cover:Why fat tissue can contribute to inflammationHow weight can affect joints, symptoms, and functionWhat this can mean for arthritis outcomes and treatment responsePractical, compassionate next steps to support metabolic health and reduce inflammation#InflammatoryArthritis #RheumatoidArthritis #PsoriaticArthritis #AnkylosingSpondylitis #Lupus #AutoimmuneDisease #Rheumatology #Inflammation #AdiposeTissue #Obesity #MetabolicHealth #JointPain #ChronicIllness #HealthWithoutShame #HolisticHealth #TreatToTarget📌 Like, comment, and subscribe for more community driven and rheumatology-based content!
