E06: The Gut–Inflammation Loop: Why Your Health Is Stalling

In this deep-dive episode of The Holistic Fat Loss and Fitness Podcast, we uncover the hidden driver behind stubborn fat, poor recovery, and persistent joint pain: gut inflammation.

Sam and the team unpack the misunderstood world of gut health, breaking down what actually causes leaky gut, how systemic inflammation hijacks your energy and fat-burning potential, and why most people don’t even know it's happening.

You’ll learn:

• What happens when your gut lining breaks down (and why stress, poor sleep, and food choices matter)

• How inflammation triggers fat storage, blocks recovery, and disrupts hormones
• Key inflammatory messengers like TNF-a, IL-6, and what they’re doing to your body
• Common foods that silently destroy your gut lining—and the simple swaps that repair it
• Why sleep, stress, and food are your first line of defence against chronic inflammation
• A practical roadmap to reduce gut inflammation through food, recovery tools, and daily habits

This isn’t just about digestion. It’s about getting your entire system working with you, not against you. Whether you’re struggling to lose belly fat, waking up sore every day, or just feeling “off,” this episode will give you the clarity you need.

Over 40 and still feeling inflamed, tired, or stuck – no matter what you do?

You’re not broken. But your plan probably is.
