In today’s show, we break down the neuroscience of enjoyment, the psychology of habit formation, and the metabolic advantages that fun, low-stress workouts deliver. You’ll discover how prioritizing pleasure over punishment can improve insulin sensitivity, stabilize blood sugar, and help reverse diabetes progression.
