A 56-year-old woman came to me frustrated.

“I barely eat. Just lunch and a small vegetable dinner. Why isn’t my HbA1c improving?”

She thought she was doing everything right.
She was making it worse:

In my clinic, the question is always the same: “What’s the fastest way to reverse insulin resistance?”

The answer isn’t dieting.

It’s leg strength.

Here’s the physiology most doctors never explain:

FATTY LIVER is now more common than OBESITY.

Most people who have it feel completely fine. That’s exactly why it’s dangerous.

Here are the 10 questions I answer in every Fatty Liver consultation (Questions your doctor doesn’t fully answer):

Alcohol causes memory loss in your LIVER.

It forgets how to burn fat.
First for hours. Then for years.

Here’s how alcohol quietly drives insulin resistance in ways most people never connect:

Most people are obsessed with calories.

That’s why they’re tired, inflamed, and stuck.

Calories are not the main driver of metabolic health.

Here are 5 things that matter far more than calories:

Chronic inflammation is ageing you 10 years ahead of schedule.

It’s not genetics, bad luck or getting old.
For most people, it's what you're eating every day.

I reverse inflammatory patterns in high-performers weekly. Here’s the food protocol that actually works:

There are people with diagnosed Type 2 diabetes. And there are people who never test anything.

This thread is for the invisible middle: tired every morning, powered by coffee, exhausted by 6 pm.

Your labs are “normal.” But your metabolism isn’t.
Here’s why

I see high-performers try everything: keto, CrossFit, “balanced” diets, cold plunges.

They win for 6–8 weeks... then snap back.
They’re trying to get healthy while running a metabolically broken system.

Here’s the 3-level framework that makes change stick:

Water timing controls your metabolism more than water volume.

Yet most people drink water randomly and wonder why fat loss, energy, and sleep never improve.

This is how circadian-aligned hydration upgrades your metabolism:

The ability to enter KETOSIS predicts longevity better than weight.

Yet 99% of people can’t do it.

Not because of carbs, but because their metabolism is broken.

Here’s how to retrain it:

After reviewing hundreds of executives with “normal” cholesterol but sky-high inflammation, I found a pattern.

The culprit wasn’t genetics.

It was their “healthy” diet.

Here are the 7 foods silently driving inflammation.

Your pancreas ages before you do.

And by the time your fasting glucose rises, you’ve already been declining for years.

I’m Dr. Sumit Sharma. I help high-performers reverse metabolic dysfunction their labs “miss.”
Here’s what most doctors never explain:

In my clinic, the No.1 reason people age faster, grow weaker, and become insulin resistant isn’t carbs.

It’s under-eating PROTEIN.

Here are 10 signs your body is running out of building blocks and quietly breaking down:

Most high-performers aren’t unhealthy because they’re lazy.

They’re unhealthy because they’re too disciplined in the wrong direction.

Here’s what I see every week in clinic: 10 habits that look productive but quietly damage metabolism & drive insulin resistance:

You don’t fix insulin resistance with hacks.
You fix it with boring daily actions done consistently.

No keto. No starvation. No gym obsession.

Here are 5 daily habits that quietly repair insulin sensitivity:

Most people think fasting insulin just predicts Type 2 diabetes early.

It does far more. It tells you:
• Are you misdiagnosed?
• Can you actually reverse this?
• Do you still have beta-cell reserve?

Here’s why fasting insulin reveals your metabolic destiny:

Most people’s weight-loss journey looks like a crypto chart.

Up 5 lbs. Down 3. Up 7. Down 2.

The person who actually transforms their body: Boring. Predictable. Compounding.

The difference isn’t genetics. Its strategy:

Your cholesterol is “perfect.”
Your blood pressure is normal.
You exercise. You eat well.

Yet your heart attack risk may still be high.

Most doctors miss ONE blood marker:

Nothing sabotages fat loss, sleep, and energy faster than an unregulated nervous system.

High CORTISOL. Low HRV.
A metabolism stuck in SURVIVAL mode.

Most people spend years chasing the wrong variables. Here’s what actually controls your results:

Meet C15:0 - a fat most people have never heard of.
Yet it may be one of the most important discoveries in metabolic & cellular health in decades.

This isn’t wellness hype. It’s cellular biology backed by peer-reviewed science:

I'm Dr. Sumit Sharma. 21 years in medicine.

The patients who worry me most are the successful ones who say: "I'm not stressed." Money's good. Family's good. Business is growing.

And their fasting insulin is 14.
Let me explain what's really happening:

I reversed insulin resistance in my clients by changing ONE variable: MEAL timing.

Not calorie counting. Not macros. Not supplements.
When they ate determined whether they stored fat... or burned it.

Here’s the metabolic mechanism most doctors miss:

10 things that make you feel healthy but keep your metabolism broken.

I see patients do these religiously while HbA1c, fatty liver & visceral fat don’t budge.

Here’s why the system loves them and why they don’t fix you:

There’s a trend I hear constantly on client calls:

“Just eat less. One meal a day.”

It worked in your 20s. After 40, it quietly demolishes your metabolism.

Here are 5 reasons calorie cutting fails at midlife and what actually works instead:

Afternoon crashes aren’t normal.

They’re not an age problem.
They’re not a “busy life” problem.
They’re not a motivation problem.

They’re a metabolic signal your body is struggling to produce stable energy:

Most metabolic programs fail not because the plan is wrong, but because the person executing it is running a childhood survival pattern.

This is what I see daily in clients with sugar addiction, stress eating & resistance to change:

I see this pattern in people with Type 2 diabetes for 5–7 years.

They’ve tried strict DIETS, FASTING, the GYM - yet remission won’t happen.

What nobody tells them: their pancreas is tired and needs a bespoke strategy:

After 21 years in medicine, I’ve learned something most health content won’t tell you:

The same diet, fasting plan, or supplement can produce opposite results in different people.

Not because of discipline. Because your biology is different. Here’s the science:

In my clinic, most of my patients who feel tired by mid-morning, crash after lunch, or crave sugar at 4pm

have one thing in common: unstable blood sugar.

Here’s how glucose swings silently wreck energy, and how stability fixes it:

Billions go alcohol-free in January.

Up to 70% succeed.

Most don’t realize this one change may be the fastest metabolic upgrade available, NO DIETING required.

Here’s why Dry January works so reliably:

Two people join the same gym after a bad blood report.

Same class. Same trainer. 5 days a week.
Six months later: One is transformed.
The other is exhausted & quietly thinking of quitting.

The difference was never discipline. (here's why)

I've noticed a typical pattern for years in my Monday clinics.

More bloating. More reflux. More abdominal pain. More "something feels off."
It's not random. It's weekend gut torture.

Here are 10 habits quietly inflaming your GUT (and how to fix them):

Metabolically healthy people don’t rely on motivation, willpower, or luck.

They follow a few boring habits that protect their metabolism for decades.

Here are 10 habits of metabolically healthy people and why they work:

You lose 8kg. You gain 10kg.
Your glucose stabilises, then spikes again.
Sleep improves, then 4 am anxiety returns.

I see this yo-yo pattern constantly in high performers.
Here’s why it happens and why most coaches miss it:

Most doctors equate weight loss with health.

A 155-lb woman with insulin 12, triglycerides 180, hsCRP 8 is “normal weight.”

She’s also metabolically broken.

Weight ≠ health. Biomarkers do:

The most profitable metabolic investment isn’t fixing your insulin resistance.
It’s preventing it in your family.

Here’s why my 90-day program involves your spouse & home environment, so insulin resistance dies permanently:

Bloating is the #1 gut symptom I see in clinic.

Most people are told to eat clean or cut foods. Yet ~75% don’t improve.
Because bloating isn’t a diet problem, it’s a system failure.

Here’s what actually causes bloating (and how to fix it):

I’ve reversed insulin resistance in hundreds of clients in 90 days.

Not with calorie counting. Not with more exercise.

But by understanding 10 insulin facts your doctor never explains.

Here’s the blueprint:

“High cholesterol helps you live longer.”

Sounds exciting.

It’s also a classic example of how half-truths go viral and science gets distorted.

Here’s what the data actually says (Insights from Dr. Peter Attia & team):

People say: “My metabolism slowed because I’m getting older.”

Metabolism doesn’t collapse with age.

It downshifts due to specific, fixable biological changes.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Every week, I see patients told: “Everything is normal.” While slowly marching toward Type 2 diabetes.

34 years old. HOMA-IR: 3.4 Trig/HDL ratio: 5.1 “His glucose was ‘normal.’ His pancreas wasn’t.”

Here’s how to read your own blood report before it’s too late:

Your grandmother’s thali is mocked as “carb-heavy.”

My grandfather ate the same thali for 90 years.
Never diagnosed diabetic. Never on medication. Never dependent on care.

The problem wasn’t the thali. It was what we replaced it with:

I’ve helped hundreds of patients reverse insulin resistance.

Here are 10 weight-loss myths keeping people metabolically broken.

(Some are still taught in clinics. Even your doctor believes #7.):

If motivation fixed fatigue, coffee would’ve cured everyone by now.

Chronic low energy isn’t a mindset problem. It’s a biological signal.

I see high performers doing everything “right” and still exhausted.

Here’s what most doctors miss:

Fitness coaches say: optimise diet, macros, training.

Neuroscience says: chronic stress slows metabolism & trauma locks fat storage.

Both are right. Both are incomplete.

And that’s why ~80% of people stay stuck:

Most people choose between 2 bad options:
• Strict fasting → crashes energy, unsustainable
• Eating “normally” → zero metabolic reset

There’s a 3rd option that delivers ~80% of fasting’s benefits with far less suffering. It’s called a fasting-mimicking diet (FMD):

Almost 1/3 of my clients hate GYMS.

Hate the culture. Hate the noise. Hate the time.

Yet their fasting insulin drops from 12–14 → 2.5–3.5 mIU/L in 90 days.
No gym.

Here’s how we target visceral fat instead:

Falling testosterone is why many middle-aged men feel weak, tired, foggy, and stuck.

Belly FAT. Poor SEX. More DISEASES. More MEDS.

Here are the 5 hidden destroyers of testosterone & how to reverse them naturally:

Ashwagandha is the most studied adaptogen in both ancient medicine and modern science.

That’s why I included it in my metabolic health supplement.

Here’s how it impacts metabolism, stress resilience & longevity:

Millions lose WEIGHT every year...and gain it back.

In my clinic, I hear this question constantly:
“How do I keep fat off without regaining it?”

The problem isn’t discipline. It’s how weight loss is done:
