Certain Genetic SNPs increase risk for storing fat

We cannot control the genes we are given, but we can change how genetic SNPs are expressed by focusing on diet, lifestyle and gut health.  When looking at pro-inflammatory pathways there are several SNPs that can make burning fat more difficult.

Fat Cells

Fat cells are more than just storage compartments,  they are metabolically active messengers.  These messenger molecules are called adipokines.  In general, fat cells secrete pro & anti-inflammatory adipokines to manage inflammation.

Excess Fat

When we have excess fat, the inflammatory response becomes disrupted, increasing inflammatory molecules.  So, not only can poor diet choices increase inflammation & fat cells, but fat cells themselves can increase inflammation making it difficult to burn fat.

Gut microbiome to the rescue

Gut bacteria moderate inflammation, providing an anti-inflammatory response.   If you are struggling with excess adipose tissue, a healthy gut is a great way to improve your fat burning.
