The workshop explores the central role of insulin in metabolic health, highlighting that insulin dysregulation—not just blood glucose—is a key driver of many chronic conditions. It explains how insulin resistance develops silently due to factors like stress, poor sleep, and dietary habits, often leading to fat storage and abdominal obesity. The discussion also covers circadian rhythm influences on insulin sensitivity and the impact of gut health on metabolic function. It emphasizes that insulin resistance can occur even in lean individuals and stresses personalized nutrition over generic diet plans.
