Episode notes

Danielle "Dani" Hamilton is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and a renowned blood sugar expert specializing in using a unique, holistic approach to optimizing metabolic health. Her journey into this specialized field was fueled by her personal battle with PCOS, hypoglycemia, acne, and weight loss resistance, which she successfully reversed after learning that blood sugar issues and metaboic issues were at the root.

After working with clients for several years and helping hundreds reverse their metabolic issues like insulin resistance, there were others who continued to struggle, despite doing "everything right." Encouraged to dig deeper, Dani turned to nature for answers and discovered the incredible power of light, water and magnetism to help optimize not only metabolic health, but every single aspect of health. Lit up by the sun's healing powers, she now uses a circadian and quantum approach as a foundation for helping her clients heal.

Dani is on a mission to help the world get back to nature to heal their blood sugar, uplevel their energy, and feel great. She is the host of the top 50 Nutrition Podcast, Light Up Your Metabolism. She is also the creator of the transformative "Blood Sugar Mastery Program."
