The "Walking Zombie" Costing Your Business Money

Mar 01, 2026

We track absenteeism (when people don't show up). But do we track Presenteeism?

 

That’s when your employee is physically in the chair a warm body at a desk but mentally absent because of brain fog and inflammation. It’s the "Walking Zombie" effect. Studies show this costs businesses 10x more than sick days.

 

This week was about the hidden damage we ignore until it’s too late.

 

The "Rust" Inside You: We revisited Seed Oils (Canola, Veggie Oil). Dr. Cate Shanahan explains that these unstable oils become part of your cell membranes. When they react with oxygen, they literally rust your cells.

 

  • Fun Fact: Have you noticed you sunburn faster than you used to? That is often oxidative stress from seed oils in your skin. You are cooking from the inside out.

     

The Dashboard Light: I also talked about Skin Tags. We think they are cosmetic. But they are actually a sign of high insulin (growth hormone) making tissue grow too fast. Your skin is the dashboard light. Don't smash the light (burn them off). Check the engine (fix your insulin).
