Feeling tired, craving sugar, or struggling to focus? You’re not alone — 88% of Americans have poor metabolic health, and most don’t even realize it.
In this episode of Get Well Better by The Lanby, Registered Dietitian and Wellness Advisor Taylor Fazio breaks down why blood sugar balance is the foundation of health — and how small daily habits can create massive changes in your energy, hormones, sleep, and longevity.
Learn what metabolic health really means, how continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) give you real-time insight into your body, and why stabilizing your blood sugar may be the most powerful thing you can do for your overall well-being.
Taylor also shares practical tips you can start using today — like how the order of your meals can reduce glucose spikes by 70%, why a 10-minute walk after eating is pure magic, and how sleep and stress affect your metabolism as much as food.
Plus, get a sneak peek at The Lanby’s upcoming CGM Masterclass — a 4-week guided program designed to help you personalize your nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress using your own glucose data.

Anxiety isn’t one-size-fits-all—and according to Dr. Ellen Vora, understanding the difference between false anxiety and true anxiety could change the way we approach mental health. On this episode of Get Well Better by The Lanby, host Chloe Harrouche sits down with Dr. Vora, a psychiatrist and bestselling author, to explore how functional medicine sheds light on the root causes of anxiety and stress.
