What do cravings, brain fog, and high blood pressure have in common?
Research suggests nearly 9 in 10 American adults fall short of optimal metabolic health. Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Brittney Zeedik to talk about what they see as the root, insulin resistance, and why it shows up as high blood pressure in one person and brain fog in another.
And that advice to keep snacking through the day? It may be working against you.
Brittney is an Insulin Resistance Coach. After losing her father to colon cancer, she came to see his psoriasis, high blood pressure, and gut trouble as warning signs nobody had connected. Dr. Katie fasts every month, who started out a skeptic until one ketone reading made her look twice.
If fasting leaves you shaky, if cravings run your day, or if your cholesterol results never quite make sense, this one’s for you. You’ll learn what insulin is doing inside your cells, why Dr. Katie looks past total cholesterol, and three simple habits you can start today.
