The short answer

Days 1–90: **confirm labs**, install **lifting + post-meal walks**, improve pattern/sleep, recheck—meds if indicated. See [sensitivity habits](https://healthcanon.com/metabolic-health/best-insulin-sensitivity-habits-2026) and [prediabetes steps](https://healthcanon.com/metabolic-health/best-prediabetes-action-steps-2026).

Ninety days is long enough for habit installation and lab trends—not a miracle cleanse calendar.
