Light Up Your Metabolism

Why Winter Wrecks Blood Sugar (Unless You Do This) | Episode 293


Listen Later

Winter isn’t the problem — ignoring it is.

In this episode of the Light Up Your Metabolism Podcast, Dani breaks down why blood sugar issues often get worse in the winter — even if you’re eating “healthy” and sticking to your usual routine.

Most of us were taught to manage blood sugar with macros, carbs, and willpower. But when you ignore seasonal and circadian biology, winter can quietly disrupt insulin sensitivity, cortisol rhythms, hormones, sleep, and metabolism.

In this episode, Dani explains how shorter days, less sunlight, artificial lighting, out-of-season foods, early workouts, and constant productivity create the perfect storm for blood sugar dysregulation — and what winter is actually designed to support instead: repair, metabolic cleanup, and rest.


❄️ Winter Blood Sugar Masterclass (Live + Replay)

If you want to go deeper and learn exactly how to apply this, Dani is hosting a Winter Blood Sugar Masterclass designed to give you clear, practical steps for supporting your blood sugar during the darker months — without relying on willpower or starting over in January.

In this class, you’ll learn:

  • How to get morning light in winter (even when it’s cold or cloudy)
  • Grounding strategies that don’t involve freezing
  • How to use cold exposure safely for blood sugar and thyroid health
  • Heat and infrared strategies to support metabolism and energy
  • How to light your home to support melatonin and cortisol
  • Best times of day to eat and work out in winter
  • Seasonal eating strategies to support fat metabolism and blood sugar stability
