The Invisible Forces Making You Insulin Resistant


Listen Later

You can eat well and still struggle with insulin resistance.
In this episode, we explore why.

Most conversations about metabolic health focus on food and willpower. But your metabolism is responding to far more than what’s on your plate.

Light exposure, prolonged sitting, chemical inputs, air quality, and sleep disruption all send powerful signals that shape insulin sensitivity, energy levels, and fat storage — often without you realizing it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why insulin resistance isn’t just a food problem
  • How light at night disrupts metabolic signaling
  • Why sitting all day slows glucose disposal—even if you exercise
  • How everyday chemicals act as endocrine disruptors
  • Why “clean eating” sometimes isn’t enough
  • Simple environment upgrades that support metabolic health

This is a reframe away from discipline and toward design.

Your metabolism isn’t broken.
It’s adaptive.

Listen to learn how your environment is training your biology — and how to change the signal.
