Blood sugar tells you how much fuel is present.
Insulin sensitivity tells you whether your body can use it.

It’s possible for blood sugar to look “normal” while insulin is working overtime behind the scenes.

This short snapshot helps you understand how responsive your system is right now, without guessing.

Fatigue, stress sensitivity, brain fog… these are not personality traits.
They’re adrenal warning signs most people miss.

This week on ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Navaz Habib and I talked about the early patterns of adrenal dysfunction and why symptoms appear long before the labs.

If you want a clearer way to assess what’s really going on, I created a free guide:
A Practitioner’s Guide to Supporting Adrenal Dysfunction

Inside you’ll find:
• A full adrenal assessment scorecard
• Physical signs checklist
• Lab testing guidance
• Herbs, nutrients, and recipes for adrenal repair

If your people are tired, wired, or burning out… this is for you.

Healing depends on rhythm, not restriction.

Your body rebuilds when it has predictable windows of rest from digestion.
The 12-hour break is not fasting as punishment.
It’s timing as support.

This guide explains how a simple overnight break can support steadier energy, better hormone signaling, and deeper repair.

Before you say a word, your nervous system is already leading the room.

In this conversation with Dr. Navaz Habib, we explore something most practitioners were never taught:
your state becomes the client’s state.

If you walk in rushed or activated, they feel it.
If you arrive regulated, they settle.

Sometimes the most powerful intervention isn’t a protocol.
It’s a pause.
A breath.
A moment of co-regulation.

Food doesn’t just give you energy.
It gives your body information.

Some foods support focus, clarity, and steady energy.
Others quietly drain capacity, even when they look “healthy.”

The first gift in the Metabolic Reset Series is a simple guide to foods and beverages that support brain function without pushing or relying on caffeine.

This isn’t about rules.
It’s about noticing what actually nourishes you.

What if the real reason people don’t heal has nothing to do with diet, supplements, or willpower…
and everything to do with low vagal tone?

The vagus nerve is the body’s healing switch. When it’s “offline,” digestion slows, inflammation rises, blood sugar becomes unstable, and even emotional eating becomes physiologically harder to control.

In this week’s conversation with Dr. Navaz Habib, we break down how the vagus nerve drives metabolism, gut function, immune balance, and recovery—and how simple practices like breathwork can shift your entire physiology in minutes.

Swipe through to learn why this hidden pathway may be the missing link in your toughest cases.

The episode drops this Wednesday at ReInventHealthcare.com.

Most people think chronic fatigue, post-viral symptoms, or prolonged immune dysfunction just “linger,” like they’re stuck with them forever.
But what if the problem isn’t fatigue itself — it’s how the immune system is stuck?

In this week’s episode, we talked about reactivated infections, immune depletion, mold exposure, and nervous system dysregulation — and how these patterns drive persistent symptoms.

To take that next step, I’m sharing a free guide that breaks down practical immune modulation strategies you can use right now — whether it’s for yourself or the people you care for.

Are You Struggling With Constant Fatigue, Weight Gain, and Brain Fog?

It’s frustrating, isn’t it? You eat clean, exercise, and yet, your body feels like it’s working against you. You’re doing all the right things, but the results just don’t show.

Here’s the thing: effort without the right feedback leads to stagnation.
Many of us are told that our lab results are “normal,” but that doesn’t mean they’re healthy. What if your “normal” is actually a red flag, hidden in plain sight?

This is where your health journey gets interesting—the tests that can truly change the game are the ones that go beyond the basics, revealing how your body is handling energy, stress, and blood sugar behind the scenes.
Stop guessing. Start knowing.

Most people try to fix their health by adding more.

More effort.
More rules.
More supplements.

Real change often comes from removing interference.

Today I'm teaching a learning lab focused on five everyday habits that quietly block energy, weight regulation, and long-term vitality.

These habits aren’t extreme.
They’re just mismatched with how the body actually works.

If you’ve ever felt like your body is resisting you, this conversation will bring clarity.

Most immune conversations are still stuck in the war model:
fight harder, suppress faster, attack stronger.

But the immune system isn’t a soldier—it’s an intelligent communicator.

In the latest episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Alison Grimston and I explore a different lens:
how true healing begins when we stop battling the body and start understanding the signals behind autoimmunity, inflammation, and chronic illness.

This is about modulation, not domination.
Listening, not silencing.

Chronic fatigue isn’t the diagnosis.
It’s the signal.

This week I’m sitting down with UK physician and functional medicine practitioner Dr. Alison Grimston to explore what’s really driving long-term fatigue, Long COVID, and the “mystery” cases that never seem to resolve.

We talk about reactivated infections, mold exposure, immune depletion, nervous system stress, and why standard testing often misses the true drivers.

This conversation will change how you think about chronic illness — and what it takes to support real healing.
