Not Seeing Progress? It Might Be Hidden Inflammation
Not Seeing Progress? It Might Be Hidden Inflammation
You’re eating clean. Training hard. Doing everything “right.” Yet, the scale won’t budge, your energy feels off, and those fitness goals seem just out of reach. If this sounds familiar, the culprit might be something less obvious than your workout routine or diet: chronic inflammation.
At DexaFit West Houston, we’ve seen countless clients, under the guidance of Dr. Gregory Burzynski, discover that hidden inflammation—especially the kind caused by visceral fat—can silently sabotage their progress.
What Is Chronic Inflammation and Why Should You Care?
Inflammation is your body’s natural response to injury or infection. When it becomes chronic, however, it acts like a slow-burning fire inside, damaging tissues and disrupting normal bodily functions. This ongoing inflammation can:
Impair your body’s ability to recover after workouts
Disrupt hormone balance critical for metabolism and mood
Increase stress hormones like cortisol, which promotes fat storage
Contribute to insulin resistance, a precursor for diabetes
Slow down your metabolism, making weight loss more difficult
The Hidden Danger of Visceral Fat
Not all fat is created equal. The fat you can pinch on your belly is subcutaneous fat, which isn’t as harmful as visceral fat, the fat that wraps around your organs deep inside your abdomen.
Visceral fat is especially problematic because it:
Increases cortisol, the body’s stress hormone, leading to stubborn fat gain
Disrupts hormone balance, throwing off signals that regulate appetite and energy
Impairs recovery, making muscles take longer to repair after exercise
Slows metabolism, reducing the calories you burn at rest
At DexaFit West Houston, Dr. Gregory Burzynski uses precise DEXA scans to identify visceral fat and develop personalized strategies that enhance your metabolism and support long-term health.
Why You Might Not See Progress Despite Your Efforts
You’re dedicated to your workouts, sticking to your nutrition plan, yet progress stalls. Here’s what chronic inflammation and visceral fat could be doing behind the scenes:
Elevated cortisol levels make it harder to lose fat, especially around the midsection
Impaired hormone signals can cause cravings and reduce motivation
Increased inflammation slows muscle growth and repair
Metabolic slowdown causes your body to store fat instead of burning it
Ignoring these factors could keep you stuck in a frustrating cycle.
