The Science Behind Swollen Feet, Insulin, and Electrolytes

Have you noticed swollen feet, puffy ankles, or deep sock marks at the end of the day?

Most people assume it’s just part of getting older or standing too long. But what if your body is trying to tell you something more?

In this week’s episode, we’re taking a closer look at the connection between metabolism, insulin, sodium, potassium, and fluid retention—and why addressing the underlying factors may be just as important as treating the symptoms.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
• What pitting edema is and why it happens
• How insulin may influence your body’s fluid balance
• Why potassium plays a critical role in maintaining healthy fluid regulation
• Simple lifestyle strategies that may support healthier circulation and reduce fluid retention, including nutrition, movement, and meal timing

If you’ve been dealing with swollen feet or ankles—or know someone who has—this episode offers practical insights to help you better understand what may be contributing to the problem.

As always, this episode is for educational purposes and is not a substitute for medical advice. If you’re experiencing persistent or sudden swelling, be sure to consult your healthcare provider.
