There’s a connection between diabetes and cancer. And the medical community is not sharing it. The fact is, cancer cells consume large amounts of blood sugar. And like all living organisms, when there’s ample amounts of fuel, in the case of cancer it is blood sugar or glucose, the organism can thrive.In this episode Barbara McDermott, founder of SHIFT Formula connects the dots between diabetes and cancer.Cancer cells are designed to maximize their absorption of glucose from our blood. Cancer cells need about thirty times more glucose than healthy cells. And insulin which is released to reduce blood sugar, allows sugar into the cells. In effect, insulin opens the door for cancer cell growth.But there is an obvious and simple solution. A low insulin diet puts a LID on cancer fuel and also returns the body to its natural, healthy non-diabetic state.Read the article version of this podcast here:

We’ve been led to believe that when exercising, there’s a “ Fat Burning Zone” that we must be in to burn the most body fat.

Exercising, eating healthy… doing all the right things and still not losing the belly fat? There’s a very good chance you are insulin resistant.Even if you’ve not been diagnosed as diabetic, you can still have a degree of insulin resistance. And as Barbara McDermott explains in this podcast episode, an insulin resistant body will not be able to use its body fat for fuel…. i.e., burn body fat.GOOD NEWS… Barbara shares the two ways to easily reverse insulin resistance.Read the article version of this podcast here:

There is a way of eating that keeps a body from releasing large quantities of insulin. Insulin, the body's fat storage and blood sugar lowering hormone, is at the very heart of a person's ability to either gain weight or lose weight and the ability to accelerate aging and health decline or do the complete opposite. Suffering from insulin resistance? That means you have too much insulin circulating in your body.SHIFT is all about seeing food through this lens. Insulin. Keep insulin low, via a low insulin diet, and weight and health restore naturally.Read the article version of this podcast here:

Bumper Sticker Wisdom: profound concepts are sometimes revealed in the humblest of forms. You plant powerful good seeds every day! What songs are you singing to get out of their way?

In this episode SHIFT Formula founder, Barbara McDermott shares a little bit of science that will open your eyes to the many roles sugar plays in our life and the many ways it influences our health. Regardless of the type of food… whole grain, organic, fruit or vegetable, the carbohydrates from those foods are converted into sugar. That’s why eating “healthy” can often lead us into health chaos.

FOOD: a four-letter word? It was to us. An emotional, social, political, cultural, and nutritional menace. Add to that a heaping dose of personal bias, ideology, morality, philosophy, even identity, and you've got a plateful of $?#!. If, like us, you've tried everything, it's time to see food for what it truly is: a powerful influencer of a single hormone that impacts health far more than what's on the plate.

Suppressing the Storm Within. Sounds a bit dramatic, huh? I would have thought so too, ten years ago. But I know better now. Any of us grappling with our own personal health chaos (stubborn weight, incessant cravings, chronic pain, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, auto-immune conditions, etc...) know that it can feel like a storm within us or within someone we love. Insulin. It impacts every one of us. And suppressing insulin, rather than stimulating insulin, is key to ending your storm once and for all.

In their inaugural episode of The Insulin Suppression Podcast, SHIFT Formula founders Barbara & Charlie McDermott share their personal journey from Hopeless to HEALED. It was a painfully, frustrating six years full of false hopes and many dead ends. But through Barbara’s intense research and their daughter Erin’s willingness to try just about every possible solution under the sun, on August 26, 2013 at 8:26AM they found what they had been seeking. PEACE… with certainty, right action and science. And that was to be the end of the journey. Erin’s solution found. Happy ending achieved. But the story of Erin soon trickled out causing individuals with many diverse health challenges like Fibromyalgia, cravings, weight gain, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, heart disease and more, to seek Barbara’s guidance out of health chaos. With one success story after another, it soon became clear to the McDermott’s that this Insulin Suppression Lifestyle needed to get out into the world.
