Episode Description from the Publisher

In today's episode, I'm answering some of the most common metabolic health questions I hear from people who feel frustrated, exhausted, and stuck — even though they're trying to "do everything right." We're diving into the real root causes behind fatty liver, high triglycerides, stubborn weight gain, cravings, blood sugar instability, and rising blood pressure — and why insulin resistance is often at the center of it all. Inside this Q&A Instagram Live, we discuss: ✨ What I would focus on FIRST if someone had fatty liver, high triglycerides, high blood pressure, and 50 pounds to lose ✨ Can insulin resistance exist even if your glucose levels look "normal"? ✨ The biggest breakfast mistake I see people making — especially when it comes to blood sugar and cravings ✨ Why nighttime cravings happen (and what they may be telling you about your metabolism) ✨ Whether walking after meals is REALLY as powerful as people claim for blood sugar control ✨ How meal timing, sunlight, sleep, movement, and insulin all work together to influence metabolic health If you've been told to simply "eat less and move more," but your body still feels inflamed, exhausted, and resistant to change, this episode will help you better understand what may actually be happening beneath the surface.
