Stretching
This is not a flexibility video.
It’s a metabolic health video.
Stretching feels hard when the body is inflamed, overloaded, insulin-resistant, and carrying excess weight.
Tight hips, stiff backs, sore joints, poor recovery. None of that is random.
What people don’t realise is this:
Stretching becomes dramatically easier when metabolism improves.
When you start fasting properly, lose excess weight, reduce inflammation, and restore insulin sensitivity, the body moves differently.
Joints feel lighter. Muscles recover faster. Mobility returns.
In my own routine, I follow 20-hour fasts with a maximum 3 to 4-hour eating window.
Not to chase aesthetics, but to restore normal physiology.
As fasting progresses and weight comes down, several things happen at once:
• Systemic inflammation reduces
• Insulin levels fall
• Joint load decreases
• Muscle recovery improves
• Energy and focus increase
• Mobility work stops feeling like punishment
What you’re seeing in this video is not the goal.
It’s the by-product of fixing the system underneath.
This is the Dr IR Lifestyle.
A functional medicine framework focused on root-cause correction, not symptom management.

When movement improves, everything else compounds.
