Welcome back to Lower the Dose! In this episode, Dr. Rangi, a leader in metabolic wellness, explores those early warning signs our bodies give us before a chronic disease diagnosis, what Dr. Rangi calls our “check engine lights.” From everyday fatigue and sugar cravings to stubborn belly fat and brain fog, these subtle signals often appear long before our lab tests show anything abnormal. She discusses why we so often ignore or dismiss these symptoms, the real risks of waiting too long to take action, and simple, evidence-based changes anyone can make to stabilize metabolism and prevent disease. Whether you’re struggling to feel like yourself or just want to take a proactive approach to your health, this conversation will help you spot the patterns that matter and give you the tools to act early, not just react later.
