Derek Henderson-Transform Your Health Today I help families take back control of their health by addressing one of the most overlooked drivers of weight gain, fatigue, and chronic issues—high insulin.

When insulin stays elevated, the body is stuck in fat-storage mode, no matter hard you try!

🧬 What if the key to improving your triglycerides isn’t just about eating less fat?

We tend to focus heavily on cholesterol and LDL when discussing cardiovascular health.

But there’s another number on your lipid panel that deserves attention:

👉 Triglycerides.

And one dietary component that deserves a closer look is soluble fiber.

If I wanted to GAIN weight…FAST, I’d do these 5 things.

Sounds crazy, right?

But think about it…

If your goal were to make it easier to gain body fat and disrupt your metabolic health, here’s what I’d do……

🧠 Your gut and your brain are in constant communication.

Are you giving them the right fuel?

We often think about gut health as simply digestion.

But the gut-brain axis is a complex, two-way communication network involving the gastrointestinal tract, nervous system, immune system and the trillions of microorganisms living in our gut.

And one of the most overlooked pieces of the equation is insoluble fiber.

What if we stopped asking only, “How do we manage the pain?” — and started asking, “What might be contributing to it?”

This question has become personal for me.

Earlier in my career, I sold spinal cord stimulators for chronic pain.

These devices can be valuable tools for appropriately selected patients, and I saw firsthand that they could provide meaningful pain relief.

But I also learned an important distinction:

Relieving a symptom is not always the same as addressing the factors contributing to the symptom.

Look at what happened to America’s metabolic health over the last few decades.

These maps tell a story that is hard to ignore.

What was once concentrated in a relatively small number of states has progressively spread across the country.

And this isn’t simply a story about weight.

🍵 What Can 30 Days of Matcha Do for Metabolic Health?

We often think of green tea as a simple beverage—something we drink for flavor, hydration, or perhaps a little caffeine.

But a small 30-day study of a proprietary matcha powdered drink raises an interesting question:

Could regular matcha consumption be associated with measurable changes in body composition and cardiometabolic markers?

What if stubborn weight isn’t just about calories… but about what’s happening underneath the surface?

One piece of the puzzle that deserves more attention is chronic, low-grade inflammation.

Inflammation doesn’t automatically cause weight gain—and obesity itself can promote inflammation—but research shows a strong relationship between inflammation, insulin resistance, appetite regulation, metabolic dysfunction, gut health, and sleep.

Here are 5 connections worth understanding……

What would happen if you stopped eating “sugar” for 30 days?

But let’s clarify something first…

I’m not talking about eliminating every carbohydrate.

I’m talking about taking a 30-day break from added sugars and highly refined/ultra-processed carbohydrate sources—things like sugary drinks, candy, pastries, refined breads, many cereals, and highly processed foods.

And the science gives us some interesting reasons to pay attention.

🥑 The “Powerhouse” Food Sitting in Your Kitchen

What if one of the most nutrient-dense foods in nature is already sitting on your kitchen counter?

The avocado.

I don’t consider avocado just a topping for toast or guacamole.

It’s a whole food packed with monounsaturated fat, fiber, potassium, folate, and other micronutrients.

And the combination of healthy fat + fiber is especially interesting for metabolic health.
