14 years of pro baseball & 18 years of medical device sales, I now understand the cause of poor health. I help to fix the root cause of chronic disease.

Everyone’s injecting GLP-1 shots… but what if I told you there’s a natural drink that supports similar pathways?

No, it’s not a miracle. And no, it doesn’t replace medication. But yerba mate is seriously underrated.

Yerba mate has compounds that help reduce appetite, slow gastric emptying, and improve insulin sensitivity—all things GLP-1 meds are designed to do.

It also supports GLP-1 activity naturally, meaning it helps your body work better with the hormones you already make.

Plus, unlike injections, you’re getting polyphenols, antioxidants, and gentle energy—not just appetite suppression.

Is it the same as a prescription shot? No. But for people focused on metabolic health, it can be a powerful daily tool.

If you’re trying to manage blood sugar, cravings, or weight without injections, this is worth looking into.

Comment ‘MATE’ and I’ll explain how I use it.

@TheBetterPath_ Everyone blames estrogen… but if insulin is chronically elevated, testosterone can’t do its job effectively anyway.

High insulin drives fat storage, inflammation, lower SHBG, and metabolic dysfunction all of which can impact testosterone signaling.

Fix the HOMA-IR 1st.

Michelle and I can’t wait for you to visit the Obama Presidential Center!

Starting on June 19, the Center will be open to the public, and you’ll be able to check out the Museum along with public spaces like a new branch of the Chicago Public Library with a reading room, a two-acre playground, a fruit and vegetable garden, and more.

Tickets available at https://t.co/ahkDMKalIn.

@_beyondalpha_ Most men don’t have a testosterone problem.

They have an insulin problem that’s silently lowering their testosterone.

And they don’t even know it.

If you’re feeling off…
Low energy, low drive, not yourself…

It might be what your body has been dealing with for years.

If your doctor struggled with weight… would you question their advice?

It’s an uncomfortable question.

But it opens the door to a bigger truth:

Weight loss isn’t just about discipline.
It’s about biology.

More specifically… hormones.

Insulin

[Derek Henderson @hendu31]

@_alphafit Core exercises, such as planks, bridges, and abdominal crunches, improve metabolic health by significantly reducing insulin and improving insulin sensitivity.

They specifically reduce insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), lower HbA1c, and reduce body fat. https://t.co/qcJat8uvke

[Derek Henderson @hendu31]

@FOODS729919 @asuquocarolyn Intermittent fasting effectively lowers insulin levels, reduces insulin resistance, and improves metabolic health.

Studies show it significantly decreases blood glucose and HbA1c, often boosting insulin sensitivity as much as exercise.

@Fitness_G0d Brain fog and cognitive dysfunction are often linked to insulin resistance and unstable blood sugar levels, causing symptoms like poor memory, lack of focus, and mental fatigue.

When cells resist insulin, the brain struggles to receive adequate energy. https://t.co/qcJat8uvke

@CoachDanGo Mango and watermelon are both nutrient-dense. Watermelon is superior for hydration due to its 90–92% water content and low calorie count.

Mango offers a higher satiety level, more fiber, and a richer supply of vitamins A and C for energy and immunity.

[Derek Henderson @hendu31]

@Fitness_G0d Amen to that…profit over prevention has led to an uprise in chronic disease

[Derek Henderson @hendu31]

@HealthyBody321 @food_health_joy All Whole Foods. They magically come packaged in fiber and antioxidants! Food is medicine.

[Derek Henderson @hendu31]

EVERYTHING IS SUPER IMPORTANT UNTIL YOU GET SICK.
THEN YOU REALIZE THERE WAS ONLY ONE THING THAT WAS IMPORTANT… your health.

Does this sound like you?

• 5–6 hours of sleep
• Chronic stress
• Blood sugar spikes and crashes
• Processed, convenient nutrition

[Derek Henderson @hendu31]

Most people don’t fail diets.

Diets fail people.

Read that again.

We’ve been conditioned to believe weight loss is about discipline and willpower.

So when the weight comes back… we blame ourselves.

But physiology tells a very different story.

Watch this video and learn.

[Derek Henderson @hendu31]

It’s not your diet.

It’s not your workouts.

It might be your sleep.

Most people struggling with stubborn weight, brain fog, and fatigue are focused on what they eat… but almost no one is asking a more powerful question:

What is your body doing hormonally while you sleep?

[Derek Henderson @hendu31]

Why are so many people doing “everything right”… and still can’t lose belly fat?

They’re going to the gym.
They’re eating “clean.”
They’re tracking calories.

And yet… nothing changes.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth most people haven’t been told:

Watch this…

[Derek Henderson @hendu31]

If you’re tired, gaining weight, and craving sugar… it’s NOT your fault.

And honestly? Most people are being told the wrong thing about their health.

You’ve been told to ‘eat less, move more’…

But no one’s telling you why you’re exhausted…

Why your energy crashes…

Why you feel out of control around food…

It comes down to one powerful hormone…

The one that decides if your body stores fat or burns it…

And when it’s out of balance—everything feels like a fight.

I wrote The Boss Hormone because people deserve to understand what’s actually happening inside their body… not just guess.

If you’re done spinning your wheels—Comment: “book”, or go to the link in my bio, for th FREE download and find out what’s really going on

(Stop blaming yourself. You were never told this.)

You’re not broken—you’ve just been missing the right information.

[Derek Henderson @hendu31]

By the time your poor health symptoms show up—
metabolic dysfunction has been developing for years.

Studies show insulin resistance can exist 10–15 years before a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis.

Heart disease? It starts decades before the first heart attack.

So the question isn’t ‘why did this happen?

It’s… why did you wait?

Your body doesn’t break overnight.
It whispers… before it screams.

🔥 DOWN 20 POUNDS IN LESS THAN 30 DAYS 🔥

Big Al didn’t change his job…

He didn’t start living in the gym…

And he definitely didn’t give up everything he loves.

He’s a truck driver — surrounded daily by shops packed with candy, pastries, and processed snacks.

But something changed.

➡️ Cravings? Gone.

➡️ Snacking all day? Stopped.

➡️ Energy? Through the roof.

➡️ Even went 19 HOURS without eating… effortlessly.

No restrictive dieting.

No insane workout routines.

No 2-hour cardio sessions.

Just the right system… working with his body instead of against it.

And in less than a month?

💥 20 pounds down.

This is what happens when you fix metabolism at the root!

And the crazy part?

👉 This is just the beginning for Big Al.

If a truck driver surrounded by temptation all day can do this… imagine what’s possible!!
