When you begin your metabolic health journey, a few simple nutrients can make a huge difference.

* Magnesium (especially glycinate) helps with muscle cramps, sleep, and energy.
* Electrolytes support hydration, reduce headaches, and balance blood sugar.
* An A.D.K. complex rounds out your foundation for stronger bones, better absorption, and improved metabolic function.

These aren’t quick fixes, but they’re tools to help your body transition more comfortably and effectively as you reduce carbs and balance insulin.

After a concussion, your brain struggles to use glucose, its main source of energy. That’s why you might feel foggy, tired, or slow to think.

But the good news is your body has a built-in backup fuel: ketones.

They’re clean, efficient, and can help your brain power through recovery by reducing inflammation and restoring energy when glucose can’t.

Fuel matters. Especially when it comes to your brain.

Our amazing Insulin IQ coach, Carlie Wendel, breaks down a recent 2024 meta-analysis comparing animal protein vs. plant protein and the results are pretty eye-opening.

Across 18 randomized controlled trials, researchers found that animal protein supports about 20% greater muscle growth than plant protein — thanks to higher levels of leucine, the amino acid that literally flips your muscle-building switch.

Carlie reminds us that if you’re serious about maintaining strength and muscle as you age… it might be time treat your meat as medicine.

Did you know there is a fat that actually protects your cells?

They’re called plasmalogens, special fats that keep your cells healthy, support your metabolism, and help your body respond better to insulin.

Low plasmalogen levels are linked to insulin resistance, inflammation, and slower energy production. But you can support them naturally with omega-3s (like salmon), eggs, and nutrient-rich whole foods.

Your body has a hidden shield, a microscopic layer called the glycocalyx, that protects your blood vessels, your gut, and even your metabolism.

When it’s healthy, blood flows smoothly, nutrients move where they should, and your cells respond better to insulin. When it’s damaged by high blood sugar or inflammation, your metabolism starts to suffer.

Protecting your glycocalyx means protecting your whole body with stable blood sugar, good nutrition, and consistent movement.
