What if your diagnosis wasn't the beginning of the end — but the beginning of everything? Eight years ago, Bettina Gordon-Wayne was handed a breast cancer diagnosis on a beautiful spring day in Washington, D.C. She had a four-year-old at home, a healthy lifestyle, and zero warning signs. Today, she is eight years cancer-free and biologically 12 years younger than her chronological age. And she has the data to prove it. Bettina spent 30 years as an international journalist interviewing world leaders, billionaires, and global experts. She was always the one asking the questions — until life gave her a story she couldn't cover from a distance. So she turned her investigative rigor toward the science of longevity, logged thousands of hours of research, and rebuilt her health from the inside out. Her TEDx talk "Aging Well, Aging in Reverse" surpassed 100,000 views. Her book The Joy of Later Motherhood sparked a global conversation. And her program, Younger With Age, is helping high-achieving midlife women do exactly what she did — reverse their biological age with data that proves it. In this episode, Dr. Anna and Bettina cover: Why biological age matters far more than the candles on your birthday cake How Bettina conceived naturally at 43 after a year of failed attempts — and what changed The mindset shift that separates women who age slowly from women who don't Why healthy living didn't prevent cancer — and how it saved her life anyway The unsexy, free anti-aging strategy that outperforms every biohack How to become a "beauty hunter" and lower cortisol through intentional joy The two words to say to anyone who tells you your best years are behind you Memorable Quotes: We can have true agency over the way we age. — Bettina Gordon-Wayne We can truly get younger with age.— Bettina Gordon-Wayne Get out of the victimhood and become defiant.— Bettina Gordon-Wayne The goal is not just to get older. The goal is to create a life that you are excited to live. — Bettina Gordon-Wayne If anybody tells you that you're too old, too gray, that your ship has sailed, look them straight in the eye and tell them two words: Watch me.— Bettina Gordon-Wayne "Our body is the cathedral of our spirit." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "For every day God gives us, let it be as healthy, vital, and purposeful as possible." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "Health shows vitality." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "Your diagnosis is not your destiny." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "Your diagnosis is not your destiny." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "Our body is the best pharmacy in the world." — Dr. Anna Cabeca   Take Bettina's free biological age quiz at bettinagordon.com/quiz and learn more about the Younger With Age program at bettinagordon.com/program.   Key Timestamps: 00:00 — Dr. Anna opens: "Our body is the cathedral of our spirit" — why renovation and repair are the foundation of longevity 02:15 — Introducing Bettina: from international journalist to first-time mom at 44 to breast cancer survivor to 12 years biologically younger 04:00 — Can we actually reverse biological age in our 50s and 60s?

Imagine being penalized for delivering good care to your frailest patients. Medicare's quality scoring program was built for healthy outpatients, not the elderly residents of nursing homes, but it is the system doctors who round in skilled nursing facilities are forced to play. Steve Buslovich, a physician executive and geriatrician, discusses the KevinMD article "How Medicare's MIPS impacts skilled nursing facilities and clinicians." You'll hear how MIPS metrics conflict with the five-star quality measures facilities must report, why tightly controlling A1C in frail elders can cause harm, and how documentation discrepancies between physicians and facilities create financial and legal risk for both. You'll learn which nine measures actually fit post-acute long-term care, why CMS needs frailty-based quality metrics, and how AI and synced EHRs can pull data automatically so clinicians can get back to the bedside. If you practice in or operate a nursing home, this conversation names the rules of a game you didn't choose to play. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform. With over three million monthly readers and half a million social media followers, I give you direct access to the doctors and patients who matter most.

Is type 2 diabetes an incurable, progressive disease, as many doctors claim? The research says no. There is a simple, food-based approach that has been quietly studied since the 1970s, and it has helped people get their A1C back to normal without Metformin, without insulin, and without giving up a social life. In this episode, Chris Reade, entrepreneur and author of Beating Diabetes, shares his own story: his A1C jumped from normal to 9.1 in a single year, his doctor handed him a prescription and told him diabetes was an incurable, progressive disease. He walked out of that office and decided to find another way. Four months later, his A1C was back in the normal range. No Metformin. No insulin. No extreme diet.

Show Notes HOST Melody Hartzler | | Book Appointment AROUND THE TABLE Mariya Farooqi | Book Appointment AROUND THE TABLE Diane Brice | | Book Appoinment In Today's Episode What happens when healthcare providers become patients themselves? In this candid conversation, PharmToTable pharmacists Dr. Mariya and Dr. Diane share the personal health challenges that led them into functional and integrative medicine—from insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction to autoimmune disease and postpartum health struggles. Their stories reveal the power of looking beyond symptoms, addressing root causes, and becoming your own health advocate. Key Take Aways Personal health challenges often spark the journey into functional medicine, as both Mariya and Diane discovered through their experiences with unexplained symptoms, weight gain, metabolic changes, and autoimmune disease. Insulin resistance is a foundational driver of chronic disease, with blood sugar dysregulation contributing to weight gain, inflammation, autoimmune conditions, cardiovascular disease, and accelerated aging. Healing requires more than symptom management; while medications have an important place in healthcare, lasting improvement often comes from addressing root causes such as nutrition, stress, sleep, gut health, and lifestyle habits. Functional medicine is a journey, not a quick fix, and meaningful health improvements often require consistency, patience, and sustainable lifestyle changes over time. Patients must become active participants in their care by advocating for themselves, asking questions, tracking progress, and partnering with knowledgeable healthcare providers to improve long-term health outcomes.outcomes. Topics Discussed 00:00 – Welcome to Table Talk Melody introduces PharmToTable, the functional medicine team, and the power of sharing personal health stories. 01:28 – Meet Dr. Mariya Mariya shares her background as a pharmacist, nutrition professional, and educator working in lifestyle and functional medicine. 02:29 – Meet Dr. Diane Diane discusses her pharmacy career, medication therapy management experience, and transition toward prevention-focused care. 04:42 – Why Functional Medicine Requires Time The team discusses the limitations of conventional healthcare visits and the importance of deep, individualized patient care. 05:02 – Mariya's Personal Health Journey Navigating motherhood, stress, weight gain, rising A1C levels, and the realization that self-care required more than surface-level solutions. 06:24 – The Continuous Glucose Monitor Wake-Up Call How CGM data revealed hidden blood sugar spikes and transformed Mariya's understanding of nutrition and metabolic health. 08:03 – Why CGMs Can Be Powerful Learning Tools The team discusses how real-time glucose data can motivate meaningful lifestyle changes. 10:00 – Insulin Resistance as a Root Cause Exploring the connection between blood sugar regulation, inflammation, chronic disease, cancer risk, and longevity. 11:10 – Diane's Autoimmune Story Begins A postpartum diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis leads Diane on a search for answers beyond conventional treatment. 13:17 – Receiving a Life-Changing Diagnosis The emotional impact of being told she would need medication for the rest of her life. 14:22 – Discovering Functional and Naturopathic Medicine How acupuncture, nutrition, supplements, elimination diets, and lifestyle changes helped Diane reclaim her health. 16:48 – From Personal Healing to Professional Passion Why Diane became passionate about helping others address chronic disease through lifestyle medicine. 17:14 – The Importance of Self-Advocacy The team discusses navigating the healthcare system and taking ownership of personal health decisions. 18:26 – Why Healing Takes Time Understanding realistic expectations, root-cause healing, and the patience required for lasting change. 20:41 – Tracking Progress Objectively How symptom questionnaires and health metrics help patients recognize improvements they might otherwise overlook. 21:50 – The Role of Family Support Diane shares how support systems can influence long-term health success. 23:00 – Autoimmune Conditions, Food Sensitivities & Gut Health A patient case study illustrates why addressing gut health is critical for long-term autoimmune management. 25:10 – Functional Medicine and Pharmaceuticals Can Coexist The team discusses balancing natural approaches with appropriate medical interventions when necessary. 26:00 – When Medication Is the Right Tool Examples involving ulcerative colitis, eczema, and severe symptoms that require immediate treatment before root-cause work can begin. 28:36 – Conversations Around Statins and Prevention Exploring medication hesitancy, cardiovascular risk, and the importance of individualized decision-making. 30:39 – Mental Health, Medications, and Removing Stigma Why some patients benefit from short-term pharmaceutical support while building sustainable lifestyle foundations. 32:05 – Questions Every Patient Should Ask How to advocate for yourself by discussing treatment goals, timelines, outcomes, and evidence with your healthcare providers. 33:00 – Chronic Disease, Inflammation & Longevity The team reflects on cardiovascular disease, metabolic health, and optimizing long-term wellness. 33:59 – Final Thoughts A closing message on self-advocacy, partnership with healthcare providers, and the value of a functional medicine approach.

In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick McGinnis sits down with Geoff Cook, CEO of Noom, the leading digital health platform combining psychology, technology, coaching, and clinical care. Geoff co-founded The Meet Group, a NASDAQ-listed social entertainment company he led for 18 years through its $500 million sale, before joining Noom to tackle something bigger: the full picture of human health. The conversation gets into why GLP-1s are only as effective as the habits built around them, what the real data shows about weight regain after discontinuation, how Noom's behavior change stack actually works, and why microdosing is quietly becoming one of the most interesting developments in preventative health. Geoff also shares why he started microdosing himself, what it did to his running habit and A1C, and how AI is making it possible to deliver genuinely personalized health guidance at scale for the first time.

Doctor Mau Informa ®️ #drmauinforma Durante medio siglo, la endocrinología consideró al glucagón como el "villano" del metabolismo: la hormona responsable de subir el azúcar en la sangre. Sin embargo, ¿qué pasaría si pudiéramos domesticar a este villano para activar la quema extrema de grasa de forma segura. En este episodio de Doctor Mau Informa, analizamos la fascinante evolución científica que nos llevó desde tumores pancreáticos hasta el desarrollo del Retatrutide, un revolucionario fármaco "triple agonista". Descubre cómo la ciencia logró combinar tres señales hormonales (Glucagón, GLP-1 y GIP) en una sola inyección semanal para alcanzar resultados de pérdida de peso metabólica que antes solo le pertenecían al bisturí de la cirugía bariátrica. En este episodio aprenderás: → La balanza de la pérdida de peso: Por qué los medicamentos anteriores solo te quitaban el hambre, y cómo la nueva generación también acelera tu gasto energético. → El secreto del Glucagón: Cómo esta hormona del ayuno saca la grasa del hígado y eleva el metabolismo. → La evolución del GLP-1: El papel protector de la insulina natural para contrarrestar el azúcar y permitir una pérdida de peso segura. → Cirugía vs. Fármacos: Por qué los resultados de los nuevos tratamientos crónicos están cambiando el paradigma médico para siempre. → La realidad clínica: Efectos secundarios, la importancia de la titulación médica y por qué esto no es una "dieta milagro".

If you've ever thought, “I know what to do, so why can't I do it,” this conversation hits the nerve and gives you a way out. We sit down with Dr. John Oberg, a human behavior strategist and healthcare innovator whose work targets one of the biggest problems in modern health: chronic metabolic disease and type 2 diabetes. Along the way, John shares a near-death car crash story that reshaped how he sees faith, relationships, and service, and why that personal turning point connects directly to how people change when the stakes are real.We get concrete about what actually moves the needle: how hemoglobin A1C works, why tiny sustainable swaps can drive major blood sugar improvement, and why most “go hard on Monday” plans collapse under stress. John breaks down his core framework: focus on what you control (your thoughts and your actions), build small habits you can repeat, and create the right support system so your environment stops fighting you. We also talk GLP-1 medications, insulin, and modern telemedicine, not as magic fixes, but as tools that can help patients stabilize, lower treatment burden, and eventually reduce dependence on medication with food-as-medicine strategies.You'll also hear practical guidance you can use today: “move right” by shifting from processed food toward whole food, “move more” with 10-minute blocks of intentional walking, and stop grazing all day so your body gets clear fed and fasting periods. We even share a blunt, compassionate patient story framed as Door A, Door B, or Door C that shows what non-judgmental care really looks like when someone feels stuck.If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations.

It's the stage where the body can no longer produce enough insulin on its own to manage blood sugars you need to start insulin. This approval is for kids ages 8-17 within 8 weeks of a stage 3 T1D diagnosis. It comes after the PROTECT trial and it's the first approval of a disease-modifying therapy for stage 3 T1D. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/breakthrough-t1d-celebrates-approval-of-tzield-for-use-in-stage-3-type-1-diabetes-in-the-us-302799532.html XX Encouraging results from a small study of islet cell transplantation in people with type 1 where now all 12 participants in the trial are currently living without external insulin after receiving transplanted insulin-producing islet cells.   The study, led by researchers at the University of Chicago, tested an experimental immune therapy called tegoprubart Te-GO-Proo-Bart. The drug is designed to prevent the body from rejecting transplanted cells while avoiding some of the side effects associated with standard anti-rejection medications. You've probably heard about this as the Eledon study – many of the participants have been very active on social media. It was presented at ADA. transplants.https://www.breakthrought1d.org/news-and-updates/tegoprubart-islet-transplant-all-participants-off-external-insulin/ XX New data suggest that acmopatide (ack-MOW-puh-tyd) (CT-868), an experimental once-daily dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, may help people with type 1 diabetes improve blood sugar control, lose weight, and reduce insulin use. Across all doses, participants lost up to 7% of their body weight and reduced insulin use by as much as 15%. The study lasted just 16 weeks, so researchers say longer-term data will be needed to determine whether the benefits can be maintained and whether lower insulin requirements can be achieved without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. XX A new combination therapy that pairs an amylin analog with semaglutide improved both blood sugar levels and weight loss in several groups of people with type 2 diabetes. The once-weekly injectable, known as CagriSema (KAG-ruh-SEM-uh), was evaluated in three Phase 3 REIMAGINE studies. In people early in the course of type 2 diabetes, researchers reported A1C reductions of up to 1.8 percentage points and significant weight loss compared to placebo after 40 weeks of treatment. Investigators also noted improvements in several cardiometabolic risk factors, including blood pressure. https://www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcoverage/ada/121658 XX Stelo for kids is now FDA cleared.. the over the counter Glucose Biosensor System is now approved for children as young as 2 years old who do not use insulin. The FDA identified pediatric prediabetes as a growing public health concern motivating the expanded indication, noting OTC CGMs can help younger users and their caregivers build glycemic awareness, track patterns in response to me https://www.hcplive.com/view/fda-clears-first-otc-glucose-monitor-for-children XX Insulet presented new data from its STRIVE and EVOLUTION 3 studies showing improved glucose control with its next-generation Omnipod 6. That's , the company's upcoming hybrid closed-loop system for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The main difference between the Omnipod 6 and Insulet's current Omnipod 5 patch pumps is that the new system has a lower glucose target of 100 mg/dL and better Bluetooth connectivity Insulet also shared progress on a fully closed-loop system designed specifically for type 2 diabetes. It  does not require carb-counting or insulin bolusing ahead of meals. Physicians also don't need to program the starting settings.   XX Abbott shared new research highlighting challenges in identifying and managing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The studies coincide with the company's development of Libre Duo, a dual glucose-ketone sensor that continuously tracks both measurements. Abbott reported that DKA can be difficult to recognize when patients first arrive at the hospital, based on data from more than 100,000 people. The company has submitted the dual sensor to the FDA and recently received CE Mark approval in Europe. More news from ADA including info from Dexcom, Sequel, Sensonics and the world loses a tireless T1D advocate.. that's all to come right after this. --   Back to the news.. XX   Dexcom announced its acquisition of Nutrisense, a company that combines continuous glucose monitoring with nutrition coaching and behavioral support. At ADA, the company also presented results from the CONNECT study showing significant A1C reductions and improved glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes not using insulin. The findings add to growing evidence supporting CGM use beyond intensive insulin therapy. We did an episode with CEO Jake Leach at ADA about these announcements as well as updates on G8, their hospital product and much more. XX Sequel Med Tech reported positive clinical results evaluating its twiist automated insulin delivery system in people with type 2 diabetes. The study showed improvements in A1C and time in range over 13 weeks XX Senseonics presented new real-world data supporting the performance of its Eversense 365 implantable CGM. The analysis included more than 12,000 sensors and demonstrated sustained accuracy and effectiveness in both open-loop and automated insulin delivery settings. Researchers also evaluated Eversense use with Sequel Med Tech's twiist system. The findings support broader use of long-term implantable CGM technology.   -- MiniMed used ADA 2026 to spotlight two recently cleared diabetes management systems. The MiniMed Flex pump offers a smaller, smartphone-controlled insulin pump option, while MiniMed Go combines the InPen smart insulin pen with Abbott's Instinct sensor. The products received FDA clearance earlier this year. XX Tandem Diabetes Care highlighted data supporting the use of its Control-IQ automated insulin delivery technology during pregnancy. Results from the CIRCUIT trial showed users spent approximately three additional hours per day in the recommended pregnancy glucose range compared with standard therapy. The findings helped support recent regulatory approvals for pregnancy use in both Europe and the United States. Tandem also expanded indications for adults with type 2 diabetes. XX Beta Bionics presented real-world data from the first three years of iLet Bionic Pancreas use. The company reported a 25% improvement in time in range among users, along with positive feedback from clinicians about simplified diabetes management. The iLet system requires only a user's weight to begin therapy and eliminates carbohydrate counting. Beta Bionics also highlighted growing access to near-real-time outcomes through its public data dashboard. XX MannKind presented new findings supporting its Afrezza inhaled insulin at ADA 2026. A post-hoc analysis of the INHALE-1 study found that pediatric users reported greater treatment satisfaction compared with those using rapid-acting injected insulin. The results come shortly after FDA approval expanded Afrezza's indication to include children. We did a bonus episode with one of the lead investigators of the study that lead to that approval. XX Adaptyx presented early clinical data supporting a wearable sensor that continuously measures cortisol levels. The device successfully tracked cortisol changes during both controlled testing and overnight monitoring in first-in-human studies. Company leaders say cortisol plays a major role in conditions including diabetes, hypertension, and depression. The technology uses synthetic DNA-based molecular switches to generate real-time readings.   XX Biolinq shared new clinical findings for its Shine continuous glucose monitoring system. The needle-free device combines glucose monitoring with activity and sleep tracking .The system received FDA clearance in 2025. They're also looking at measuring lactate through the sensor. XX Long-time T1D advocate Kent Schnakenberg died last week. Schnakenberg was known in his community for using his love of bicycling to raise awareness of Type 1 diabetes. He also advocated for improving the lives of those living with the disease. Inspired by his niece, Michelle, who was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes when she was 13 years old, since 2014 he has traveled around the country cycling thousands of miles, speaking to hundreds and hundreds of kids and raising Money. According to Schnakenberg's family, he suffered a head trauma incident in his home on Wednesday. I spoke to Kent years ago – I believe the first year of the podcast. A sad loss but wonderful to see so many tributes and memories posted on social media in the last few days. https://diabetes-connections.com/john-costik-co-creator-of-nightscout-team-schnak/ https://www.wibw.com/2026/06/12/team-schnak-founder-kent-schnakenberg-passes-away/ XX And finally. Alexander Zverev (ts-ver-uhv) won the French Open, his first Grand Slam title. He lives with type 1, he paused a couple of time to check his blood sugar. He was diagnosed at age 4 and partners with Medtronic. "Becoming a professional tennis player was always my dream," Zverev shared in an article posted by Medtronic. "Early on, I was told that competing at the highest level with diabetes was impossible — but my family and I refused to accept that. That's why I'm partnering with Medtronic Diabetes: I want every person with diabetes to feel empowered to live the life they want." He also has a foundation committed to children with type 1 diabetes. Among other things, the life-saving insulin and other essential drugs are provided – also in developing countries." https://www.mensjournal.com/news/alexander-zverev-diabetes-wins-french-open-2026-medical-condition

Argelis Milian Robles was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2025 — alone, without a car, on the brink of losing her job, and managing celiac on top of it all. And that was just the beginning.

What Causes Cancer? The Truth Most Doctors Don't Talk AboutIn this episode of Intellectual Medicine, Dr. Stephen Petteruti explores the relationship between cancer, metabolism, sugar, insulin, body fat, and prostate cancer progression. He discusses the Warburg theory, which suggests that cancer may begin with dysfunctional mitochondrial metabolism, and compares it with the later focus on genetic causes of cancer. While he argues that the idea of “starving cancer” by eliminating sugar is too simplistic, he also emphasizes that metabolic health plays a real role in cancer risk and progression.The episode focuses heavily on prostate cancer, which Dr. Petteruti describes as unique compared with other cancers. He argues that conventional approaches often overlook the environment in which cancer develops, including excess body fat, high insulin, elevated blood sugar, inflammation, and poor metabolic health. He also discusses tests such as fasting insulin, hemoglobin A1c, and continuous glucose monitoring, as well as the importance of nutritional and behavioral change. The episode closes with a warning against extreme diets, oversimplified supplement advice, and one-size-fits-all cancer theories.Timestamps:(00:00) What Causes Cancer?(01:02 )The Warburg Theory(02:14) Genetics vs. Metabolism(04:22) Why “Starving Cancer” Is Too Simplistic(05:42) Body Fat, Insulin, and Prostate Cancer(08:30) Tests That May Help Assess Metabolic Health(10:47) Food, Weight Loss, and Cancer Risk(13:42) The Anti-Cancer Lifestyle(15:04) Toxins, Viruses, and Parasites(16:15) NAD, Mitochondria, and Supplement Caution(17:33) Growth Hormone, IGF-1, and Cancer Risk(19:12) Why Extreme Dieting Is Not the AnswerEnjoy the podcast?

In this episode of the TCOYD Podcast, Dr. Edelman and Dr. Pettus are joined by pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Jamie Wood, medical director of pediatric diabetes at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital and an investigator on the INHALE-1 trial, to talk through inhaled insulin in kids and where it fits in real-world pediatric care.The conversation focuses on the recent approval of Afrezza for children as young as six, and what the INHALE-1 trial actually showed. Dr. Wood walks through the study design, A1C results, lung-function and safety data, and the practical aspects of dosing inhaled insulin in a pediatric population. Rather than positioning it as a replacement for injections or pumps, the discussion centers on finding the right fit for each child's needs, from the newly diagnosed kid with a needle phobia to the teen trying to dose discreetly during a 20-minute school lunch.Dr. E, Dr. P, and Dr. Wood also discuss the everyday realities that shape how this option is used, including the set-dose cartridge sizes, a titration approach refined in clinic, and how families are mixing and matching tools alongside automated insulin delivery. The takeaway is encouraging: there are more options than ever for managing mealtime insulin in kids, and this one may help fill some of the gaps left by injections and pumps.Key Topics • The recent approval of inhaled insulin for children as young as six • How the INHALE-1 pediatric trial was designed • A1C results and what the primary endpoint analysis showed • Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) metrics across the two groups • Lung-function (FEV1) monitoring and pediatric safety • Weight and body mass index (BMI) findings • Why mealtime dosing is a leading unmet need in pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D) • The set-dose cartridge approach and how it reframes meal sizes • A real-world titration method for inhaled insulin • Managing cough and other practical considerations • Needle phobia and the kids who struggle most with injections • Using inhaled insulin alongside automated insulin delivery (AID) systems • What's coming next, including a smaller cartridge dose and a new-onset trial Subscribe for practical diabetes management tips, technology updates, and treatment breakthroughs that help people with diabetes live healthier, more flexible lives.More diabetes resources:Website: tcoyd.orgBlog: tcoyd.org/blogPodcast: tcoydthepodcast.transistor.fmInstagram: / tcoydFacebook: / tcoydStay connected!

Welcome back to Diabetes Dialogue: Technology, Therapeutics, & Real-World Perspectives!In this episode, shot live at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Scientific Sessions 2026 in New Orleans, Louisiana, cohosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, discuss the latest major trial results like CONNECT, TRIUMPH, and TRANSCEND.To begin the episode, Isaacs and Bellini, discuss major highlights from ADA Scientific Sessions, focusing first on the landmark CONNECT trial evaluating continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in people with type 2 diabetes who are not treated with insulin. They reflect on the evolution of CGM technology, from its early use primarily in type 1 diabetes to its expanding role in type 2 diabetes management, and explain why this trial represents an important step forward for patients who have historically had limited access to CGM.The hosts review the randomized controlled trial findings, emphasizing the significant improvements in glycemic outcomes, including a 1.6% reduction in A1c from baseline and an approximately 0.9% greater reduction compared with standard care. They also highlight the increase in time in range, with participants using CGM achieving roughly five additional hours per day in target glucose range. The magnitude of these findings is discussed as a practice-changing development, with the potential to influence future clinical guidelines and strengthen recommendations for CGM use among individuals with type 2 diabetes who are not using insulin.The discussion also explores the broader implications of the CONNECT trial for healthcare access and insurance coverage. The hosts note that randomized controlled trial evidence has historically played a key role in shaping standards of care and payer decisions, and they suggest that these results may help support wider adoption of CGM by demonstrating meaningful improvements in glucose control and patient outcomes.The conversation then shifts to emerging pharmacologic advances, with a focus on retatrutide, a novel triple agonist targeting GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon pathways. The hosts discuss new data showing substantial metabolic benefits in people with type 2 diabetes, including up to 17% weight reduction and nearly 2% A1c lowering. They highlight how these findings represent a major advancement in diabetes and obesity treatment, particularly as clinicians continue to see increasingly powerful effects from next-generation incretin-based therapies.Isaacs and Bellini explore how these therapies may reshape treatment strategies by allowing clinicians to tailor medication choices based on individual patient needs and goals. They discuss the importance of considering both glucose lowering and weight reduction effects, recognizing that some patients may benefit from significant weight loss while others may require a more balanced approach focused primarily on glycemic improvement.The hosts also address important unanswered questions surrounding the use of highly effective weight-loss medications, including appropriate treatment targets, the limitations of BMI as a measure, and the importance of preserving muscle mass and overall function. They emphasize the need to consider body composition, physical activity, resistance training, and patient characteristics—particularly in older adults or those at risk for frailty—when developing long-term treatment plans.The episode concludes with a reflection on the rapidly evolving landscape of diabetes care. The hosts highlight how advances in CGM technology and novel metabolic therapies are creating new opportunities to improve outcomes, personalize treatment approaches, and redefine the future management of people living with diabetes.Editors' Note: Isaacs reports disclosures with Dexcom, Abbott, Lilly, Novo Nordisk, Medtronic, Insulet, and others. Bellini reports disclosures with Abbott Diabetes Care, MannKind, Povention Bio, and others.

Most of us have had that moment where we get our bloodwork back and shake our heads. We're still our active, health‑minded selves and out of nowhere—rising LDL, ApoB, A1C, and maybe blood pressure and Lp(a), too. This week, preventive cardiology dietitian Michelle Routhenstein joins us to unpack the cardiometabolic chaos and what's really driving it. She explains estrogen's protective role in lipids and blood pressure, why standard risk calculators and even calcium scores can miss women's disease, and which advanced labs are worth asking for. We also dig into how under‑fueling and low‑carb diets can worsen cardiometabolic health and plaque; why complex carbs, fiber, fermented foods, and gut health matter so much; and how to approach protein, red meat, electrolytes, nitric oxide, and statins in a personalized, empowering way—remembering that 80–90% of heart disease remains preventable when women get the right information and advocate for themselves.Michelle Routhenstein, MS, RD, CDCES, CDN is a preventive cardiology dietitian and founder of Entirely Nourished, a virtual practice focused on personalized, science-based nutrition for heart health. With over 14 years of experience, she helps people improve cardiometabolic risk and manage conditions like atherosclerosis, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation using a whole-person approach. She holds Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Clinical Nutrition from New York University, serves on the Forbes Health Advisory Board and the Medical Advisory Committee for the National Menopause Foundation, and is the author of The Truly Easy Heart-Healthy Cookbook and Simple Meal Solutions for High Blood Pressure.

Dr. Spencer and Karl Nadolsky sit down with David W, a nurse practitioner and one of the actual patients enrolled in the Triumph 1 retatrutide phase 3 trial, to break down the data that was just presented at the American Diabetes Association conference and explain why everyone in obesity medicine is paying very close attention. In this episode they cover what retatrutide actually is and why adding glucagon agonism to the GLP-1 and GIP dual agonism of tirzepatide creates a meaningfully different drug with direct effects on liver lipid metabolism, insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, and fat catabolism that you do not see with semaglutide or tirzepatide alone, what David's personal experience in the 12 milligram arm looked like from dose escalation through steady state including the GI side effects that faded by month seven and the heartburn that a low dose PPI fixed quickly, how David went from 240 pounds and a BMI of 35 down to 167 pounds by the end of the trial representing roughly 30 percent weight loss which is right at the trial average, what the Triumph 1 obesity trial found at 80 weeks with the nine and 12 milligram doses delivering nearly 26 and 28 percent average weight loss respectively and almost half of patients on the highest dose losing 30 percent or more, why the 104 week extension data showing patients who stayed on 12 milligrams reaching 30.3 percent average weight loss is being compared to bariatric surgery outcomes, what the Transcend type 2 diabetes trial showed with average A1C dropping to 5.9 percent on the 12 milligram dose in patients who were on no other diabetes medication, why the 41 percent triglyceride reduction and 20 percent LDL reduction are particularly interesting given that the mechanism appears to involve multiple pathways in the liver that tirzepatide and semaglutide do not touch, what the 70 percent reduction in WOMAC knee arthritis pain scores and 60 percent reduction in sleep apnea events mean for patients who have been told their only option is surgery, how Spencer plans to use retatrutide clinically once it is approved and which patients he thinks are the right candidates, why the gray market research peptide version currently circulating is something both doctors strongly advise against, and what Triumph 2 and Triumph 3 are measuring and when that data is expected.

Send us Fan MailEvery year, one in five adults with Type 1 diabetes experiences a dangerous drop in blood sugar that renders them unable to treat themselves. These severe hypoglycemic events are still happening, even though many patients now use continuous glucose monitors and automated insulin pumps.Why has this trade-off between long-term A1C control and dangerous sugar crashes persisted for over 30 years?Bob Geho, Founder and CEO of Diasome, joins host David E. Williams to unpack the results of the company's 200+ patient Phase 2B OPTI-2 trial of HDV™ insulin. The study was presented recently at the American Diabetes Association meeting in New Orleans.In the trial, five patients using standard insulin experienced severe hypoglycemic events. This compares with zero such events among patients receiving HDV™ insulin. Meanwhile, HDV™ insulin matched standard-of-care A1C control.Bob also shares how the HDV platform is being studied for its potential to reduce side effects in GLP-1 therapy and to address insulin resistance, considered the root cause of Type 2 Diabetes.

Nurse practitioner Christine lived with Type 1 diabetes for over twenty years before realizing her early medical advice was flawed. She discusses unlearning bad habits, pregnancy, and lowering her A1C.

Send Us Your Questions/CommentsA polygamous upbringing in Nigeria, a father's death at age seven, and a stretch of quiet atheism aren't the usual milestones on the road to church leadership, but that's exactly why Nonso Okpala's story is so gripping. We sit down as friends and church family and let him walk us through the moments that shaped his faith, from early Catholic devotion and seminary dreams to the slow, steady way God drew him back through Scripture, conviction, and surrender.Along the way, we talk honestly about hypocrisy, doubt, and what it feels like to keep showing up outwardly while your heart is drifting. Nonso shares how reading the Bible for himself challenged long-held assumptions, why prayer and fasting became practical tools in his fight for holiness, and how spiritual growth often looks more like a process than a single highlight moment. If you care about discipleship, sanctification, and learning to trust God when life feels complicated, this conversation goes there.Then the story turns into a true Nigerian immigrant testimony: scholarships, a visa, landing in the US with no safety net, and seasons of real financial hardship. You'll hear about unexpected provision, a stranger who became family, and the grit it took to excel academically on the way to becoming a CPA and professor. We also get personal about marriage, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, and the joy of twins, plus the health wake-up that led to a passion for nutrition, lifestyle change, and even helping his mom bring down A1C, blood pressure, and cholesterol.We close with the hard realities of corporate burnout, family medical crises, and the question that reset everything: “What do you have in your hand?” That clarity sparks purpose through ministry, media, and his book Prepare Now: 10 Practical Guides to Thriving and Surviving During Crisis.

Carb counting has been standard diabetes advice for decades, but if it worked as well as many people hoped, far fewer people would still be struggling with high blood sugar, rising A1c, weight gain, and frustration.In this episode, Dr Jedha explores why carb counting became important mainstream advice for diabetics, where it often falls short, and why understanding the overall carbohydrate burden on the body is far more important than simply counting numbers on a page.For show notes and resources, please visit: https://Type2DiabetesTalk.comTo share your questions and suggestions, leave us a voice message or email at: https://Type2DiabetesTalk.com/messageExplore our proven programs and services, visit: https://Type2DiabetesTalk.com/programsSubscribe to our free weekly newsletter for podcast updates, valuable nutrition tips and more: https://Type2DiabetesTalk.com/subscribe

Most people think the cholesterol number on their lab report tells them whether their heart is at risk. But former National Lipid Association President Dr. Kevin Maki explains that LDL is just one piece of a much bigger picture and focusing on it alone can mean missing the markers that matter most.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Kevin Maki, former President of the National Lipid Association and co-editor-in-chief of the Journal of Clinical Lipidology, to discuss:Why ApoB and Lp(a) are better predictors of heart risk than LDL and why only about 2% of people ever get Lp(a) testedWhat a beef-vs-chicken feeding study revealed about red meat and cholesterol (the LDL results came back identical at 112 mg/dL)The evidence behind the seed oil debate, including why higher linoleic acid levels tracked with lower inflammation markers across a 2,000-person datasetWhy the balance of cholesterol-raising and cholesterol-lowering foods matters more than saturated fat aloneThe simple "ABCs" framework: A1c, blood pressure, cholesterol - for actually lowering long-term cardiovascular riskBy the end, you'll know which numbers actually predict heart risk, which tests to ask your doctor for, and how to cut through the conflicting noise around fat so you can make evidence-based decisions for the long haul.Thank you to our sponsors:OneSkin - Get 15% off at https://bit.ly/4tZnOpk with code DRLYONBodyHealth - Use the code LYON20 to get 20% off your first order https://bit.ly/48SJ7AC Amp - Visit https://bit.ly/3RcmqBz to get your AI-powered at-home gym for smarter, personalized training.Explore More from Dr. Gabrielle LyonPremium Podcast Subscription: Ad-free episodes, key takeaway summaries, exclusive Q&A, and behind-the-scenes content https://foreverstrong.supercast.comWeekly newsletter: Recipes, podcast updates, and practical weekly insights https://drgabriellelyon.com/sign-up/Apply to become a patient: Personalized care with Dr. Lyon's clinical team https://drgabriellelyon.com/new-patient-inquiry/Find Dr. Kevin Maki at:Midwest Biomedical Research: https://www.mbclinicalresearch.com/ LinkedIn: / kevin-c-maki-phd-497ba34 Connect with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgabriellelyon/TikTok: @drgabriellelyon X (Twitter): https://x.com/drgabriellelyonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/doctorgabriellelyon Chapters00:00 - Introduction00:31 - Dr. Kevin Maki and the National Lipid Association01:04 - New dietary guidelines and the LDL confusion02:04 - What raises and lowers LDL cholesterol03:51 - Cholesterol levels from birth through puberty05:11 - The lipid panel kids should get before age 1106:42 - Lp(a): the test only 2% of people get08:18 - ApoB and the three risky particle types11:35 - Do we have evidence for "lower is better"?14:09 - The FLASH-GLICK risk factor framework17:10 - The 10% saturated fat guideline explained19:36 - Many dietary patterns can be healthy24:50 - Beef vs. chicken: identical LDL results27:10 - The balance of fatty acids that matters29:24 - Olive oil vs. corn oil feeding study31:00 - Lower for longer: 40-year risk reduction34:15 - Genetic cholesterol disorders and risk40:33 - The omega-3 index and why it matters49:10 - Are seed oils really driving inflammation?53:11 - How seed oils are processed and refined1:07:48 - Inherited beliefs and outdated nutrition science1:08:54 - Butter vs. cheese and high-fat dairy surprises1:14:48 - Exercise effects on HDL and triglycerides1:21:20 - The ABCs of reducing cardiovascular riskIf you found this episode valuable, share it with someone who would benefit from it.Disclaimers: This episode includes paid sponsorships.The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Podcast and YouTube are for general information purposes only and do not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing, or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

What if the thing you want most is actually the solution, not the problem? Dr. Kristine Goins was a full time academic psychiatrist, burnt out, physically unwell, and working across nine clinics with five different electronic medical record systems. Two years out of residency she booked a one way ticket to Colombia and never looked back. She now works one clinical day a week, lives in her 16th country, and helps other physicians do the same. Timestamps: 1:00: Two years out of residency, chest pains, tremors, and a skyrocketing A1C. What burnout actually looked like 4:00: Nine clinics, five different systems, and notes every weekend. What her academic career really cost her 9:00: Why her colleagues stayed even though they were miserable. The devil you know 16:00: How NomadMD started and why there is no specialty that cannot be digitized 22:00: Working two days a week from Colombia and earning more than she did full time in academia 25:00: The one hour a week that changed everything and how to stop catastrophizing your way out of a better life 3 Key Takeaways: Your Body Will Tell You What Your Mind Is Trying to Ignore. Dr. Goins was eating well, doing yoga, and doing all the right things. Her body still gave her tremors, chest pains, and a skyrocketing A1C. Burnout is not a mindset problem you can outrun with self care. It is a signal that something structural has to change and the sooner you listen the better. The Stability You Think You Have May Be Costing You More Than You Know. Working full time in academia felt safe. It was also paying her less than two days of direct contract work from Colombia. The institution takes a cut, sets your schedule, and decides your worth. When you work for yourself, the math changes completely. Give Your Brain a Better Problem to Solve.

***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS June 10th, 2026!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use ‘fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! REGISTER HERE! Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In this research-backed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling break down a gold-standard meta-analysis comparing the most popular intermittent fasting protocols head-to-head — time-restricted eating, alternate day fasting, and the 5:2 method — against traditional calorie restriction to see which approach actually moves the needle on blood sugar and insulin resistance. The hosts cut through the complexity to deliver a clear takeaway: time-restricted eating consistently wins for improving fasting glucose and A1C, while alternate day fasting is the most powerful tool for directly lowering insulin resistance and fasting insulin levels — the upstream markers that determine whether your body is stuck in fat-storing mode or freed up to burn. They also tackle the real-world gaps the research can't capture — the simplicity, food noise reduction, and decision fatigue relief that make fasting dramatically easier to sustain long-term compared to the slow grind of calorie counting. Listeners will come away knowing exactly how to match the right fasting tool to their current situation, whether the goal is better lab numbers, breaking through stubborn weight loss resistance, or building a flexible lifestyle that doesn't require restarting every Monday. The episode closes with a straightforward reminder that consistency in a foundational fasting window will always outperform an aggressive protocol done halfway — and that fasting wins not by being perfect on paper, but by being livable in real life. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

Food confusion is one of the biggest reasons people struggle to improve their blood sugar and A1c. In this Diabetes Foods Q&A episode, Dr. Jedha answers real listener questions about carbohydrates, glycemic index, honey, dairy, cheese, oats, sugar cravings, and the foods that may secretly be spiking your blood sugar, even when they're marketed as “healthy.”You'll learn why low GI doesn't always mean blood sugar friendly, whether full-fat dairy products are actually okay to eat, why honey still behaves like sugar in the body, and what to do if you feel addicted to sugar and stuck in old eating habits. Dr. Jedha also explains why some common breakfast foods can send blood sugar soaring and what to eat instead for more stable glucose levels.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting diabetes nutrition advice or wondered what foods are truly best for type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, this episode delivers practical, evidence-based answers in a clear and easy-to-understand way.For show notes and resources, please visit: https://Type2DiabetesTalk.comTo share your questions and suggestions, leave us a voice message or email at: https://Type2DiabetesTalk.com/messageExplore our proven programs and services, visit: https://Type2DiabetesTalk.com/programsSubscribe to our free weekly newsletter for podcast updates, valuable nutrition tips and more: https://Type2DiabetesTalk.com/subscribe

We take a different angle: What if that hunger is actually a blood sugar crash, and the real culprit is a stress-hormone surge that yanks you out of deep sleep?We walk through the crash-rescue cycle step by step, from dinner-time insulin to overnight glucose drops, and why your adrenal glands respond with cortisol and adrenaline to protect your brain. That protective response can leave you wide awake with anxious energy, restless legs, and racing thoughts that don't even make sense at the time. We also explain why common tests like fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1C can look perfectly normal while nocturnal hypoglycemia and blood sugar swings keep happening in the middle of the night.We connect the dots for women's health as well, including why symptoms can worsen in the luteal phase when progesterone rises and increases insulin resistance, why estrogen changes can shift insulin sensitivity, and why perimenopause can be the first time you notice this pattern. Finally, we talk about practical next steps, including using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to capture real-time overnight data and get answers you can actually use.If you're tired of guessing, listen now, share this with a friend who wakes up at 3 a.m., and subscribe so you don't miss what's next.

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham break down one of the biggest challenges in diabetes management—and it has nothing to do with knowledge.It's trust.Ken shares a powerful perspective on what it looks like to move from constantly “trying” to building a level of confidence where your decisions become more automatic. From insulin dosing to daily routines, this conversation highlights how many people already know what to do—but struggle to trust themselves even with the simple things.They dive into real-life examples, including under-dosing insulin out of fear of lows, second-guessing decisions even when you know the answer, and relying too heavily on perfect outcomes instead of trusting the process.Ken also shares his “at-bat” analogy—explaining how diabetes isn't about hitting a home run every time, but about stepping up with confidence, making contact, and not fearing the result.The episode closes with a deeper conversation around a major issue in the diabetes space:

How can you lift weights, build muscle, and still be insulin resistant? What if your metabolism is sending warning signs before your A1C ever changes?Insulin resistance is often treated like a weight loss or carb problem, but Amber Wilhoit, a registered dietitian and diabetes specialist with 22 years of clinical experience, shows why muscle quality, visceral fat, fiber, sleep, stress, and daily movement all matter.We talk about fasting insulin, waist-to-hip ratio, post-meal walks, strength training, and why midlife hormone health can shift body composition even when your effort stays the same. You'll learn how to lose fat, build muscle, and protect your metabolism with evidence-based nutrition and fitness strategies that go beyond “just lift more.”Join Eat More Lift Heavy, the 26-week fat loss program for adults over 40 where you learn the skills to improve your insulin sensitivity, build muscle, eat a flexible diet full of protein and carbs, and improve your sleep, stress, and movement... one week at a time so it's sustainable and you FINALLY keep the fat off for good.Timestamps:0:00 - Why muscle may not fix insulin2:39 - Visceral fat and waist-to-hip6:26 - Fasting insulin, the underused test10:06 - Exercise pathways, stress, and sleep18:52 - Protecting muscle during fat loss21:08 - Perimenopause shifts and visceral gain26:53 - Stop over-restricting nutrition34:28 - Sexual health as metabolic signal39:04 - Fiber, gut health, and glucose controlEpisode resources:Website: Empowered Diabetes Podcast: The Diabetes Podcast®YouTube: @TheDiabetesPodcast Instagram: @empowereddiabetes 

Rob sits down with Dr. Gregory Dodell, an endocrinologist from New York City and one of the more honest voices in the diabetes space online. What starts as a conversation about why a doctor would bother making Instagram videos turns into something a lot more real, a candid look at what actually happens between patients and their providers, why those relationships succeed or fall apart, and what it takes to feel like a full person inside a system that was mostly built around numbers. Dr. Dodell talks about the thing he keeps learning from patients that wasn't in any textbook: stress. How it silently drives blood sugars up, how burnout and over-fixation on every CGM reading can quietly hollow out your quality of life, and why a slightly elevated number is sometimes worth it if it means you actually got to live your day.  It's not a permission slip to ignore your management. It's a reminder that the goal was never the A1C itself. The goal was always life on the other side of it. They also dig into the infrastructure problems that make good diabetes care so hard to deliver, the prior authorization nightmare, the endocrinologist shortage, and the 20-patient days that leave almost no room to actually sit with someone.  Dr. Dodell shares, for the first time publicly, that he's moving toward concierge primary care, not out of ambition, but out of frustration with a system that makes it structurally almost impossible to do the job he trained for. If you've ever left an endo appointment feeling like you only got halfway through what you needed to say, or worse, left feeling judged, this one's for you.

This week on The AGEIST Podcast, Dr. Florence Comite,  clinician-scientist, and author of Invincible: Defy Your Genetic Destiny to Live Better, Longer, explains why “normal” lab results can miss the early signals that shape long-term health. Learn how sugar, insulin, A1C, cholesterol patterns, HDL, and free testosterone can reveal metabolic changes before a conventional diagnosis appears. She makes the case for tools like CGMs, deeper family history, better sleep, strength training, and hormone awareness as practical ways to understand what is happening beneath the surface. The episode gives the audience a clear framework for asking better questions, acting earlier, and taking more precise ownership of the next decades of their health.Are you competing in the Super Age Games?

Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions Making the Invisible Visible: A Longitudinal, Validating Framework for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Illness CareThe script contrasts patients' experiences of chronic pain, fatigue, and brain fog being dismissed despite normal tests with clinicians' uncertainty in brief, system-pressured visits, framing “medical gaslighting” as a patient safety issue. It proposes rewriting the clinical approach to invisible illnesses like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, migraines, and IBS by starting with deep listening, validating symptoms, and using standardized tools (Widespread Pain Index, Symptom Severity Score, Fibro Score Index, and Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire Revised) to confirm diagnosis, set baselines, and track change over time like an A1C. It emphasizes longitudinal mapping of symptoms across the lifespan, including early nervous system sensitivity, neurodivergence, hormonal transitions, and cumulative stress, plus screening for ADHD, autism traits, and sleep disorders. The framework includes pacing with activity tracking, trauma-informed care, careful documentation, flexible follow-up, coordinated care, and transparent uncertainty paired with belief and hope.00:00 Invisible Illness Reality00:39 Clinician Perspective Pressure01:10 Why Medicine Fails Here01:49 Rewriting the Care Script02:11 Start With Listening02:41 Measure And Baseline03:47 Build The Life Timeline05:50 Hormones And Stress Load07:05 Track Progress Over Time08:10 Pacing And Hidden Comorbidities09:22 The Gaslighting System Trap10:11 What Better Care Looks Like11:30 Hope And Closing Call Support the showWhen I started this podcast and YouTube Channel—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind. Office visits are short, but understanding complex, often misunderstood conditions like fibromyalgia takes time. That's why I created this space: to offer education, validation, and hope.  If you've been told fibromyalgia “isn't real” or that it's “all in your head,” know this—I see you. I believe you. This podcast aims to affirm your experience and explain the science behind it. Whether you live with fibromyalgia, care for someone who does, or are a healthcare professional looking to better support patients, you'll find trusted, evidence-based insights here, drawn from my 29+ years as an MD.Please remember to talk with your doctor about your symptoms and care.

Topic: Peripheral neuropathy is not caused by high glucose alone, but by the combined effects of hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and glycemic variability. Protecting nerves requires improving insulin sensitivity and reducing glucose swings—not just lowering A1C.Summary: Ben explains why peripheral neuropathy is not simply a “high blood sugar” problem. While hyperglycemia clearly damages nerves, the story is more complex—especially in type 2 diabetes, where intensive glucose control does not prevent neuropathy nearly as well as it does in type 1 diabetes. Dr. Bikman argues that neuropathy is driven by three interacting metabolic forces: chronic hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and glycemic variability.He begins by defining peripheral neuropathy as damage to the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, most commonly appearing first in the feet and toes because the longest nerves are often affected earliest. He then explains how excess glucose damages nerves through the sorbitol pathway, oxidative stress, glycation, and inflammation. But glucose is only one part of the problem.The second pillar is insulin resistance. Peripheral nerves and their support cells, especially Schwann cells, need insulin signaling to maintain healthy myelin and nerve repair. When insulin signaling fails, nerves lose an important trophic support system even before glucose becomes severely elevated. The third pillar is glycemic variability, or repeated glucose swings, which may damage nerves beyond what A1C alone can reveal.The key takeaway is that protecting nerves requires more than lowering average blood sugar. It requires improving insulin sensitivity, reducing glucose swings, stabilizing post-meal responses, and addressing the metabolic dysfunction that damages nerves from multiple directions.References:For complete show notes and references, we invite you to become an Insider subscriber.

What Is Insulin Resistance and Why Does It Matter? Did you know your blood sugar can be completely normal and you can still have insulin resistance? In this episode, we break down exactly what insulin resistance is, how it quietly progresses to prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, and why so many people don't find out until significant damage has already been done. Using a few good analogies and a little mini medical school, we make the science accessible without losing the substance. We walk through the risk factors — from excess visceral fat and low muscle mass to age, family history, ethnicity, gestational diabetes, and medications — and explain how to interpret the lab values your doctor uses to diagnose prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, including fasting blood sugar and hemoglobin A1C. With over 115 million Americans living with prediabetes and 80% unaware, this is information that could genuinely change the trajectory of your health. Key Takeaways: Insulin resistance can exist long before blood sugar becomes abnormal The progression from insulin resistance → prediabetes → type 2 diabetes is gradual and largely preventable Fasting blood sugar and hemoglobin A1C are the primary tools used to diagnose prediabetes Risk factors include excess abdominal fat, sedentary lifestyle, age, family history, and certain medications Early lifestyle changes make the biggest difference — and it's not too late Next week: Can insulin resistance actually be reversed?

Jay Campbell is BACK... and this time he's talking about all the cutting edge peptides for building muscle. We're talking follistatin derivatives with 19 day half lives, super retatrutide that you might only need to inject once every TWO MONTHS, and why these compounds could be the future of building lean mass without the brutal side effects. Jay tells stories about the legendary Dan Duchaine. You'll learn the REAL history of cyclical ketogenic dieting, why going zero carb all week then carb loading on weekends was revolutionary for bodybuilders in the 90s. Here's where it gets controversial... Jay explains why aromatase inhibitors are absolutely DESTROYING modern bodybuilding physiques.

How do we help patients improve health span without letting wearables, biomarkers, and wellness trends take over the conversation? Learn how to think about CGMs in patients without diabetes, how to interpret early cardiometabolic risk beyond the A1c, how to prescribe exercise in a practical way, and how to counsel patients about sleep, wearables, and even peptides.
