Optimal Metabolism

This episode was originally recorded as part of my Insulin Reset Facebook & Instagram LIVE series, where I go live weekly to teach the truth about insulin resistance, hormones, and metabolic health.

In this powerful session, I unpack:

• The REAL reason your cholesterol and triglycerides are high

• How fatty liver actually develops (hint: it's not from eating fat)

• Why statins may lower numbers but don't solve the root issue

• The overlooked roles of insulin, chlorogenic acid, and liver overload

• How the Feel Great System (Unimate + Balance) can support your body in reversing these patterns naturally

What happens when a doctor leaves his practice, but finds his true mission? In today's episode of Optimal Metabolism, I'm joined by Dr. Kenny Harless—a retired chiropractor whose second act is nothing short of transformational. Through his own health journey and the discovery of the Feel Great System, Dr. Kenny has found new purpose: helping others reverse insulin resistance, regain energy, and restore hope.

We dive into why he left the conventional model, the breakthroughs he's seeing in his clients and the leaders he is training, and how this new chapter has brought not only healing—but financial freedom and deeper faith. This one's for anyone who feels like it's "too late" or that nothing is working. You're going to love this conversation.

💡 What We Cover:

• Dr. Kenny's journey from chiropractic care to metabolic healing
• Why conventional care wasn't cutting it—and what changed everything
• Personal and client transformations through the Feel Great System
• The role of faith and legacy in his second act
• How healing others has opened unexpected doors financially and spiritually
