Science-based metabolic health — from someone who's lived it.

My Story

In October 2019, I had a heart attack at 54. An emergency angiogram revealed an 80% blockage in my LAD artery and a 95% blockage in my diagonal branch. Two stents saved my life.

At 16st 6lbs (230 lbs), I thought I was doing okay. My body was telling a different story — years of undiagnosed metabolic dysfunction had been silently narrowing my arteries.

That heart attack was my wake-up call. I dove deep into the science of insulin resistance, metabolic health, and cardiovascular disease — and I applied everything I learned. No extreme diets. No quick fixes. Just understanding what actually drives disease, and fixing it at the root.

I lost 27 lbs and now have excellent health markers across the board — confirmed by annual GP bloodwork. MetabolicNews.net is how I share what I learned, so others don't have to wait for a cardiac event to start.
