It starts with normal habits. In this video, I break down the 11 worst daily habits quietly damaging your metabolic health, cardiovascular system, and long-term longevity \u2014 habits that feel harmless in the moment but compound over years into type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, fatty liver, insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and early mortality.<\/p>\n<p>After nearly a decade working in emergency medicine, I\u2019ve seen what the end stage looks like.
