It is not random, and it is not inevitable. (01:55)Q: My doctor says my labs are normal. Why do I still feel off?A: "Normal" is defined by a population that's already metabolically sick. You can have values in range and still be on a trajectory toward disease. (06:23)Q: Does blood sugar really matter if I don't have diabetes?A: Yes. Glucose spikes damage the lining of every blood vessel in your body; heart, brain, kidneys. Long before any diagnosis is made. (08:17)Q: Is it too late to reverse this?A: No. Metabolic dysfunction is reversible, and the most powerful tool you have is something you're already doing every day: eating.
