Wellness Solutions Chat Your body runs on two different fuels — fat and glucose — and most people are unknowingly using the wrong one. In this episode, Dr. Steve Hughlett breaks down why your body was designed to burn fat as its main energy source, and what happens when you run on glucose (sugar and carbs) instead. Spoiler: it's not good. Over time, too much glucose leads to weight gain, low energy, damaged blood vessels, and type 2 diabetes. Dr. Steve walks you through exactly how your body processes each fuel, why fat keeps you full for hours while carbs leave you hungry and crashing, and how insulin quietly stores fat on your body every time you eat the wrong foods. You'll also learn why eating fat does NOT make you fat — and how to start shifting your body back to fat-burning mode without starving yourself or giving up food you love. This episode is your first step toward steady energy, a healthier weight, and feeling like yourself again. Ready to take the next step?
