Are you doing everything right — dieting, training, sleeping — but still can’t lose weight, fix your energy, or break the burnout cycle?
In this episode of The Superhuman Blueprint Podcast, Drew Griesel sits down with hormone expert Dr. Nayan Patel, Pharm.D., to expose the hidden biochemical disruptor sabotaging millions of people: insulin — and why chronic stress, bad sleep, and modern living are pushing it into toxic territory.
Dr. Patel breaks down the truth behind metabolic resistance, stubborn fat, low energy, thyroid disruption, mood issues, and the hormonal chaos affecting both men and women today.
You’ll learn how cortisol, insulin, testosterone, progesterone, thyroid hormones, and even glutathione interact — and why most people never get proper testing or guidance.Whether you're frustrated by weight plateaus, feeling inflamed and exhausted, or confused by hormone therapy options, this episode gives you science-backed clarity and real solutions.
What you’ll learn:
🔥 Why insulin is the most toxic chemical your body overproduces
🔥 The REAL reason you can’t lose weight (even with strict diet & exercise)
🔥 How stress and cortisol quietly destroy hormone balance
🔥 The connection between thyroid issues, insulin resistance, and “mystery symptoms”
🔥 Men’s declining testosterone: lifestyle vs. prescriptions
🔥 Women’s cycles, perimenopause, and why so many are misdiagnosed
🔥 The truth about bioidentical vs. synthetic hormones
🔥 Why glutathione is the missing link for energy & detox
🔥 How lifestyle changes can outperform most prescriptions
🔥 The roadmap to reclaim metabolic health and hormonal balance
If you want to understand your body at a deeper level — and finally break the cycle of fatigue, weight gain, burnout, and hormonal chaos — this episode is a must-watch.
