About Derek Henderson

My career has taken me through a few different seasons. I started as a professional baseball player, where I learned discipline, consistency, and what it truly means to perform under pressure. From there, I spent years in medical device and pharmaceutical sales, working closely with physicians and healthcare teams. I saw innovation at its best — but I also saw something that stuck with me. Chronic metabolic conditions kept increasing. Despite more medications, more awareness, and more access to care… people were still struggling with energy, weight gain, blood sugar, and long-term health. That led me to start studying metabolic health more deeply. Today, I focus on helping people better understand their bodies — especially the role of insulin, lifestyle, and daily habits in long-term wellness. My approach centers on education, self-discovery, and sustainable change. Along the way, I realized something else: There’s also a growing need for professionals to create more flexibility and ownership in their lives — especially in the health and wellness space. So, I’ve combined both passions: Metabolic health education and entrepreneurial leadership. I’m building a community of people who care about: • Taking responsibility for their health • Growing personally and professionally • Creating options instead of waiting for them If you’re someone who values growth, ownership, and meaningful conversations, I’d love to connect. No pressure. Just dialogue. — Derek
