Hi, I’m Harvie Herrington—thanks for stopping by! I’m excited to share a powerful and practical approach to weight loss and metabolic health that’s already changing lives. Our proven protocol pairs two tasty, nutritious drinks with intermittent fasting or a lower-calorie eating plan. It’s simple, sustainable, and designed to help you hit your wellness goals without the guesswork. Take a look around—you’ll find helpful resources, inspiring information, and everything you need to get started. This is your first step toward a healthier, more energized you. Let’s do this together!
Metabolic health refers to how effectively your body processes and uses energy. It's a key indicator of your overall wellness, impacting blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, and body weight.
When your metabolic health is strong:
✅ Blood sugar levels are stable
✅ Blood pressure is in a healthy range
✅ Cholesterol levels are balanced (both HDL and LDL)
✅ Waist circumference stays low (sign of low visceral fat)
✅ Your body efficiently turns food into energy without storing excess fat
In short, good metabolic health means your body is running like a well-tuned engine.
Many people don’t realize their metabolic health is slipping until bigger issues show up. That’s why early action is so powerful — and that’s exactly what our program is designed to help with.
When metabolic health starts to decline, the body struggles to manage blood sugar, fat storage, and energy use properly.
This sets the stage for serious health risks — starting with insulin resistance.
How Insulin Normally Works:
When you eat, sugar (glucose) enters your bloodstream.
Your pancreas releases insulin, a hormone that helps move sugar into your cells for energy.
As sugar levels drop, the pancreas makes less insulin.
When Insulin Resistance Happens:
Your cells stop responding properly to insulin.
Sugar builds up in your blood instead of entering cells.
The pancreas works overtime to produce more insulin — but over time, it can’t keep up.
Unchecked, insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes and many other serious health issues.

Glucose is the main fuel for your muscles and other tissues.
It comes from two places:
🍎 The food you eat
🔄 Your liver (which stores and releases glucose as needed)
When insulin resistance develops, this finely tuned system breaks down. Instead of feeding your cells, glucose piles up in your bloodstream — creating a dangerous cycle.
Several factors make insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes more likely:
Excess weight (especially belly fat)
Physical inactivity
Family history of type 2 diabetes
Age (risk rises after 35)
Poor blood lipid levels (low HDL, high triglycerides)
Certain races/ethnicities (higher risk for Black, Hispanic, Native American, Asian, and Pacific Islander groups)
Prediabetes (early stage of elevated blood sugar)
Past pregnancy issues (gestational diabetes, large birthweight babies)
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
When insulin resistance worsens, the body can no longer control blood sugar levels — leading to type 2 diabetes.
Common Symptoms:
Increased thirst and hunger
Frequent urination
Unexplained weight loss
Fatigue
Blurred vision
Slow-healing sores
Frequent infections
Numbness or tingling in hands and feet
Darkened skin patches (especially neck and armpits)
Causes of Type 2 Diabetes:
Cells don’t absorb sugar properly.
The pancreas can’t produce enough insulin to catch up.
Type 2 diabetes doesn't just affect blood sugar — it can impact your entire body.
Major Risks Include:
💔 Cardiovascular Disease
Higher risk of heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, and narrowed arteries.
🦶 Nerve Damage (Neuropathy)
Tingling, numbness, pain, or loss of feeling — especially in the hands and feet.
⚙️ Autonomic Nerve Damage
Issues with heart rhythm, digestion, bladder control, and sexual function.
🩺 Kidney Disease
Long-term diabetes can lead to kidney failure, requiring dialysis or a transplant.
👁️ Eye Damage
Risk of cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy (which can cause blindness).
🦠 Skin Problems
Increased risk for bacterial and fungal infections.
🩹 Poor Wound Healing
Cuts and blisters heal slowly, with a higher chance of infection and even amputation.
👂 Hearing Loss
More common in people with diabetes.
😴 Sleep Apnea
Linked with both diabetes and obesity.
🧠 Cognitive Decline
Poorly managed blood sugar is connected to memory loss and dementia.
In addition to diabetes, insulin resistance increases your risk of:
