Remote work might feel like freedom, but your biology disagrees. In this video, I break down how your work-from-home setup is hijacking your hormones: crushing testosterone, spiking cortisol, and wrecking insulin sensitivity. I’ll show you exactly how posture, light, movement, and meal timing secretly control fat gain, energy crashes, and libido drops... and how to take back control without quitting your job or starving yourself. This is about biohacking your environment to work for you—not against you.
