How to Improve Metabolic Health with HIIT, Circadian-Timed Eating, and Sleep

Solo deep dive on the three pillars of metabolic health: HIIT for insulin sensitivity, circadian-aligned eating windows, and sleep quality. Evidence that HIIT outperforms moderate exercise for improving insulin resistance, HbA1c, and body composition.

Highlights

HIIT outperforms steady-state cardio for metabolic health markers
Patrick: meta-analyses show HIIT is more effective than moderate continuous exercise for improving insulin sensitivity, HbA1c, fasting glucose, and body composition. The time efficiency is also superior — 20 minutes of HIIT can match 45 minutes of moderate cardio.
Circadian-timed eating improves metabolic markers independent of calorie restriction
Patrick: eating within an 8-10 hour window aligned with daylight hours improves blood glucose, triglycerides, and inflammatory markers — even without reducing total calorie intake.
