Shanna Hussin has taught me so much about metabolic health. My doctor gave me a prescription to deal with my cholesterol. Never asked me to measure my waist, never mentioned anything about insulin resistance, intermittent fasting, ignored my triglycerides results on my blood work. I am 3/4 the way on my 90 day reset. I’ve lost almost 20 lbs. 4 inches from my waist. I can’t wait to see my new blood work that I’ll have done after the 90 days. Thank you Shana for all of your education and ... more

Shana is so knowledgeable and does an amazing job breaking down complex topics into practical lifestyle changes that truly make a difference. I always come away feeling informed, encouraged, and motivated to make healthier choices. If you’re looking t... more
I have been following Shana for years. As a former fitness instructor gone desk employee I was nervous about gaining the weight I had been trying to help my former clients lose. Shana made my transition easier and as a 45 year old woman that’s pretty amazing. I have enjoyed learning more about the non traditional health recommendations Shana suggests…hello grounding and circadian rhythms!
I have been listening to Shana’s podcast for about a year now! I love that she is a seasoned dietician but also that she is keeping up on the latest information and studies out there. She is also easy to listen to and personable. I also love getting her emails with her tidbits of information on health and nutrition.
I was hopeful I would get some real medical information, but it’s just another influencer selling their stuff with their special code

The show centers on metabolic health, insulin resistance, and how lifestyle factors like circadian rhythm, meal timing, and light exposure influence weight, energy, and hormonal balance. It frequently features clinicians, dietitians, and health researchers discussing gut health, obesity treatments, GLP-1 therapies, and practical strategies such as fiber optimization, fasting approaches, and targeted supplements. Notable is the emphasis on root-cause approaches over conventional quick fixes, plus guest-led deep dives into niche topics like PMOS renaming, EMF impacts on metabolism, and brain health in relation to metabolic health.
