Episode Description

If you're eating clean… exercising… and still struggling with blood sugar, cravings, or stubborn belly fat — this episode may change how you see your metabolism.

Because your blood sugar isn't just influenced by what you eat.

It's influenced by when you see light.

In this episode, I break down:

  • How morning light sets your insulin sensitivity for the entire day
  • Why artificial light at night increases cortisol and blood sugar
  • The connection between melatonin and metabolic health
  • Why high morning glucose can be a cortisol issue — not a carb issue
  • How circadian rhythm disruption drives insulin resistance
  • Simple daily shifts that can dramatically improve metabolic health

Most people focus on food.

But your hormones follow rhythm — and rhythm follows light.

If your cortisol is elevated at night and suppressed in the morning, your metabolism feels chaotic. You may feel tired but wired, wake at 3AM, crave sugar, or struggle with weight loss even when your labs look "normal."

The good news? Circadian rhythm can be reset.

In this episode, I walk you through the practical steps to:

✔ Anchor your morning cortisol properly
✔ Support melatonin production at night
✔ Improve insulin sensitivity naturally
✔ Stabilize blood sugar without extreme dieting

Your body isn't broken. It may just be out of rhythm.
