Transform approach: fix multiple levers together

In this conversation, we break down what true metabolic health actually means, and how to restore it. We explore how metabolism becomes dysregulated, what truly improves insulin sensitivity, and why many common “health” approaches unintentionally make the problem worse.

Drawing from both the science and our hands-on experience working with 200+ individuals inside the Transform program, we share the core lifestyle and nutrition principles we use to help people regain energy, stabilize blood sugar, and rebuild metabolic flexibility. This includes practical, actionable steps around food, movement, recovery, and stress (without hacks, extremes, or quick fixes.)

You’ll hear real-world patterns we’ve observed, the most common mistakes that keep people stuck, and what actually works when the goal is long-term metabolic health, not short-term results. Whether you’re navigating insulin resistance, stubborn weight gain, or simply want to better support your metabolism as you age, this episode will leave you with clarity, direction, and a more sustainable framework for health.
