Many people have found me through Peter and told me this was one of their favorite episodes. Aside from insulin resistance and metabolism, we end the discussion with a topic that really resonated with Peter, which is the impact of generational stress, social media, and devices on youth and how I've navigated this in my own personal life.&amp;nbsp; This is longer than my usual episodes since we cover a ton of important topics, so I included detailed timestamps below.
