On today's episode, Luis explores the way that the body stores fat, rather than the identity that can arise from it. Even though there are negative health impacts from too much fat being stored, the process is a natural, biological, animal instinct for survival, is a healthy response to the ingestion of refined carbs and sugars.

Learning which foods affect insulin can help to shift the body from fat storage to fat usage mode. But beyond just food, stress and trauma play a role: both cause adrenaline, which also causes glucose spikes, and tells the body to store sugars as fat.
