What Is the Best Diet to Boost Metabolis...

Reverse insulin resistance permanently
About this episode

In today’s episode, we uncover the powerful connection between food, metabolism, and insulin sensitivity. Robby breaks down how the types of calories you consume—not just how many—can dramatically influence your energy levels, weight, and blood sugar control.

You’ll learn:

  • Why fat slows metabolism—and how to avoid hidden fat traps in everyday foods

  • How plant-based, high-carb meals can rev up your metabolism and improve insulin function

  • The science behind the thermic effect of food and how it impacts fat loss

  • Why protein with carbs is better than protein with fat

  • The exact steps our client Joaquin took to lose 35 pounds and reverse early signs of neuropathy

Plus, we explain how to put this knowledge into practice—even if you’re just getting started or feel overwhelmed. Whether you’re living with type 2 diabetes or simply want to improve your metabolic health, this episode is packed with actionable strategies.
