Chronic inflammation can affect far more than one painful joint or area i. Your spine.

When inflammation lingers, it can begin to influence multiple systems in the body.

It can contribute to:

* muscle loss and weakness
* joint pain and cartilage breakdown
* a more sensitive nervous system
* insulin resistance and blood sugar changes
* fatigue and poor sleep
* cardiovascular disease

It can also make weight regulation more difficult, especially when inflammation and insulin resistance begin to reinforce each other.

The hood news is that many of these biological processes are modifiable.

Your body is constantly repairing, rebuilding and regenerating. Movement, sleep, nutrition, metabolic health, and treatment of the underlying cause of inflammation can all influence your biology.

Over the next several posts and videos, I’m going to discuss how chronic inflammation affects different systems in the body, how you can start recognize when it could be affecting you, and what may help shift the biology towards a healthier outcome.
