    Every year, the wellness world rolls out a new list of health trends — and most people are left wondering:

    Is this actually helpful… or just expensive hype?

    In this episode of The Metabolic Edit, I’m breaking down some of the most talked-about 2026 health trends and calling them Hot or Not — based on real physiology, clinical experience, research, and tools I’ve personally tested.

    Just what’s actually worth your time, money, and energy.

    In this episode, I break down:

    • Whether saunas and sauna blankets really support metabolism, stress, and longevity
    • Why greens powders are often overrated — and what to do instead
    • When colostrum can support gut health and immunity (and when it’s a no)
    • The real science behind red light therapy hats for hair loss and mitochondrial health

    If you’re tired of chasing trends and want a smarter filter for what actually works in 2026, this episode will save you time, money, and frustration.

    Nov 25 2025

    Send us a text

    What if the thing you’re avoiding this winter — the cold — is actually one of the most powerful tools for metabolic health, hormones, mood, and resilience?

    In this episode, I break down the real science behind cold exposure, cold plunges, cold showers, and even just spending a few minutes outside underdressed — and why this free, primal, highly underrated tool can radically improve your energy, metabolism, and stress response.

    You’ll learn:

    • How cold exposure activates brown fat to boost calorie burn
    • Why cold therapy spikes dopamine + norepinephrine by up to 250%
    • How cold acts as a hormetic stressor, strengthening your nervous system and lowering baseline cortisol
    • The safest, easiest ways to start cold exposure — from cold showers to cold walks to at-home plunges
    • Who should start slow (thyroid issues, adrenal fatigue) and how to do it safely

    If you want better energy, sharper focus, stronger metabolism, and deeper resilience — the cold might be your new best friend.
