1 in 3 Americans are insulin resistant and it's silently killing them from the inside.
What most don't realize is you can reverse it in 3 to 6 months without a single medication.
Here's the exact protocol on how to do it (bookmark this):
8 Warning Signs of Insulin Resistance
1. Excess belly fat 2. Brain fog 3. Constant hunger 4. Low energy 5. High inflammation 6. High blood pressure 7. High blood sugar 8. High Triglycerides
It's a sign of high glucose and high insulin.
Your cells ignore insulin's signal to absorb glucose thus your body pumps out more insulin to compensate.
The result is fat storage, chronic fatigue, brain fog, and type 2 diabetes.
The good news is this is fixable with the right systems.
If you need to get your shit together in 2026, read this:
1. Stop being easily offended. If you’re easily offended you’re easily manipulated.
2. Get your body lean and healthy. Getting in shape is the lead domino that makes your entire life better.
3. Treat food as fuel for the brain and body. Put garbage in and you get garbage back. Put high quality foods in and you’ll improve your energy and mental health.
4. Sleep is your waste removal system. Prioritize it like your life depended on it.
After 20+ years of health coaching, here is every fat loss tip I could come up with:
1. Take 5 grams of creatine for the muscles. Take 10-15 grams of creatine for the brain.
2. To build muscle lift weights 3x a week, hitting each muscle at least 2x. Every session, add more reps or weight. Aim for an FFMI of 18.5-22 (men) or 15.5-18.5 (women)
3. To lose weight, eat at a calorie deficit of 500 or slightly higher depending on how much you have to lose.
4. Focus on 2 numbers: Calories and protein. For protein aim 30-60 grams a meal and a total of .7 to 1 gram per lbs of bodyweight.
5. Eat 3 nutrient-dense meals according to your circadian rhythms. No snacking. This improves energy and automates hunger.
Things I've learned becoming a dad at 40 years old:
1. Your health becomes the most important thing in your life. If you want a chance to see your kids grow up you need to take care of your body.
2. Lifting weights becomes a non-negotiable. This will be the difference between independence and the nursing home.
3. You can be 40 years old and feel like in your 20s if you do the right things for your body.
4. You never know how important good health is until you lose it.
5. Having children will light a fire under your ass and increase your capacity to earn.
6. Kids make you feel younger. The ability to see things through your child's eyes and how they embrace curiosity is a great way to ignite your desire to learn new things.
