Most people think of blood sugar and heart disease as separate problems, but Dr. Brian Mowll shows how they are really part of the same cardiometabolic story. Fact is, only 6.8% of American adults enjoy optimal cardiometabolic health and this interview connects the dots between insulin resistance, stubborn belly fat, high blood pressure, and your real risk for heart attack and stroke.

Dr. Mowll explains why only a tiny fraction of Americans have true cardiometabolic health, what "skinny fat" really means, and why that extra couple inches around the waist might be more serious than you think. We also talk about intermittent fasting, the key differences between men's and women's fasting needs, and why a consistent 12-hour overnight fast is a smart starting point for almost everyone.

You'll Learn:

What Cardiometabolic Health Means

Root Cause of Heart Disease

How Insulin Resistance Develops

Hidden Dangers of the Dad Bod

Foods That Hijack Satiety Signals

Tools to Track Your Metabolism
