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.
