Podcasts about blood sugar

Blood sugar issues are not caused by sugar alone. In this episode, Ben Azadi explains how mineral deficiencies are a hidden driver behind insulin resistance, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes. You'll learn the five essential minerals your body needs to regulate blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, and support long-term metabolic health. This episode breaks down why medication-focused approaches often miss the root cause and how restoring mineral balance can lead to better glucose control, energy, cravings, and fat loss. What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy blood sugar problems are more about mineral deficiency than carbohydratesHow insulin signaling depends on proper mineral availabilityThe connection between gut health and blood sugar spikesWhy modern soil depletion contributes to widespread mineral deficienciesHow minerals act as the communication system of metabolism The 5 Minerals That Help Lower Blood Sugar Fulvic AcidSupports mineral absorption at the cellular level. Improves insulin receptor sensitivity, glucose transport into muscles, pancreatic health, and mitochondrial energy production. Humic AcidSupports gut health by reducing inflammation, improving microbiome balance, and slowing carbohydrate absorption to flatten blood sugar spikes. Trace MineralsChromium, zinc, selenium, and manganese help activate insulin signaling pathways, support insulin production, and reduce insulin resistance. MagnesiumOne of the most commonly deficient minerals in people with insulin resistance. Supports insulin sensitivity, lowers cortisol, reduces cravings, and stabilizes blood sugar. PotassiumAn insulin-sparing electrolyte that improves glucose storage in muscles, balances sodium, lowers cortisol, and reduces insulin overproduction.

Worried that fruit spikes your blood sugar too much? You're not alone. There's a lot of confusion and fear around fruit in diabetes and prediabetes, so today we're reframing the entire conversation. Fruit isn't the problem. Your body is designed to handle carbohydrates, and a rise in glucose after eating fruit is completely normal.In this episode, we break down how whole fruit impacts blood sugar, why fiber matters, and what actually supports steadier glucose responses. We also talk about the difference between fruit, juice, and dried fruit and share practical pairing ideas to help you enjoy fruit without stressing about numbers.If you're living with diabetes or prediabetes and want personalized support from a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist covered by insurance, visit diabetesdigital.co to connect with our culturally aware and weight-inclusive team.

In this solo episode, Lauren breaks down one of the most important skills for navigating Type 1 Diabetes with more confidence: spotting blood sugar patterns without getting trapped in constant data analysis. She speaks to two common experiences, the person who's already deep in the charts but still feels stuck, and the person who feels overwhelmed and convinced they “don't have patterns.”Lauren shares a simple, human approach to pattern recognition that prioritizes curiosity over judgment. You'll learn how to slow down, identify what's actually driving your out-of-range numbers, and build awareness in a way that supports your life (instead of taking it over). If you've ever felt like diabetes is running the show, this episode will help you shift from reacting in the moment to making decisions with more clarity and calm.WHAT WE COVER:How to identify which “group” you fall into: over-analyzing vs. overwhelmed and unsure where to startWhy changing ratios isn't always the answer and what the graphs don't showHow to start with awareness first, before trying to “fix” everythingFour practical ways to find patterns without living inside your CGM dataHow to build a weekly review habit using curiosity over judgmentKEY TAKEAWAYS:1️⃣ The goal isn't perfect numbers. It's clarity and confidence that you can repeat consistently.2️⃣ Patterns aren't always in the graphs. Often, the real drivers are beneath the surface: fear of lows, stress, sleep, routines, and habits.3️⃣ You don't need to find every pattern. Pick one frustrating context, slow down, and build awareness one bite-sized step at a time.WHAT'S NEXT:

In this members-only episode, we keep building on last week's conversation — this is “THE blood sugar” episode. We talk through blood sugar and insulin in plain language: what they are, how they function, and why so many of us feel stuck in cycles of cravings, crashes, and frustration even when we're “eating healthy.” We unpack why the body doesn't care where sugar comes from, how modern foods (including fruit and starches) can demand a strong insulin response, and what repeated spikes do over time. This isn't an anti-food episode or a call to perfection. It's about awareness, stewardship, and understanding the system God designed — so your choices come from clarity, not confusion. If you love what we do and want more behind-the-scenes fun, bonus episodes, and exclusive content, join the walk in love. Podcast Membership today!

So many people come to me feeling completely stuck.They've tried everything — every diet, every supplement, every practitioner, every protocol. They track. They monitor. They micromanage. They try harder.And yet… their blood sugar still isn't improving.In this episode, I want to share a pattern I see over and over again with the people who are struggling the most — and it might surprise you.Fear.Not fear as weakness — but fear as a state the body is living in.When we approach our health from fear — fear of food, fear of symptoms, fear of getting it wrong, fear of our own bodies — we create an internal environment that is not safe enough for healing.And the body will not heal in a state of constant surveillance.In This Episode, We Talk About:Why the most “complex” blood sugar cases often have nothing to do with foodHow fear shows up as micromanagement, self-surveillance, and over-interventionWhy constantly tracking, fixing, and correcting can keep you stuckHow the nervous system and mitochondria respond to perceived threatThe connection between suppressed emotions and physical symptomsWhy perfectionism, people-pleasing, and high-achieving traits show up so often in blood sugar issuesHow fear around food, toxins, carbs, and supplements can backfireThe difference between healing from fear vs healing from loveWhat it actually means to “come from a place of love” with your bodyHow self-compassion, curiosity, and patience change the healing processWhy symptoms can sometimes be your body setting boundaries for youHow emotional safety plays a role in blood sugar regulationTODAY'S SPONSOR:Qualia Life: Head to qualialife.com/DANI and use the code DANI to get a discount!Book a call with me to learn more about the program: https://calendly.com/daniellehamiltonhealth/discoverycall Enroll today! https://dhhealth.showitpreview.com/blood-sugar-mastery STAY IN TOUCH WITH ME:

Apple cider vinegar is not a fat burner or a detox. It is a metabolic signal that influences how your body handles sugar and insulin. In this episode, Ben explains why blood sugar spikes matter more than sugar itself, how insulin drives fat storage, and how apple cider vinegar can slow sugar absorption when used correctly. You'll learn the biggest mistakes people make with apple cider vinegar, the exact timing that makes it effective, and why taking it randomly or after eating sugar backfires. Ben shares his recommended protocol, including liquid vs capsule options, how often to use it, and why more is not better. He also explains how apple cider vinegar can support keto, low-carb, and carnivore diets by improving fat digestion. The episode also breaks down common myths around acid reflux, GERD, and stomach acid, and why metabolic health is about signals, not willpower or calorie counting. Key takeaway: Apple cider vinegar does not cause fat loss directly, but when used properly, it can reduce insulin spikes, support metabolic flexibility, and improve energy after meals.

Cravings feel powerful, frustrating, and often completely out of your control. But what if most cravings aren’t random at all? In this first episode of The Nutrition Couch for 2026, Leanne and Susie unpack what’s really driving cravings, why willpower is not the problem, and how simple changes to your day can make a huge difference.

Metabolic health impacts far more than weight — it influences your hormones, inflammation levels, energy, and long-term risk for chronic disease. In this episode of Get Well Better by The Lanby, Taylor Fazio, Wellness Advisor, breaks down what metabolic health really means, why most Americans are metabolically unhealthy, and the everyday habits that can dramatically improve insulin sensitivity and overall health.On this “One Take on One Take” episode:Tip 1: Optimize nutrition by prioritizing fiber, reducing ultra-processed foods, and building balanced meals to support stable blood sugar and reduce inflammation.Tip 2: Build movement into your day — especially strength training — since muscle is one of the most important sites for glucose storage and insulin sensitivity.Tip 3: Use data to personalize your health journey: track key labs (fasting insulin, glucose, HbA1c) and consider a CGM to understand your unique glucose response and improve metabolic flexibility.

Kellie is a strategic business mentor who bulldozed through three autoimmune conditions—until her body forced a reckoning.In this conversation, she breaks down how a £50 glucose monitor revealed the root cause behind years of debilitating crashes (spoiler: it wasn't burnout), why her injury rehab degree couldn't save her from herself, and the exact protocol that dropped her rheumatoid factor from >150 to 50.No woo. No "listen to your body" platitudes. Just the tactical breakdown of what actually worked when rest wasn't optional anymore.What we cover:Why competitive people fail at "gentle yoga" (and what works instead)The CGM data that changed everything: blood sugar dropping to 1.3 after carbsHow she stabilized autoimmune markers, lost 6.5kg, and got off pain medsThe coaching approach that works for headstrong women who hate being told what to doIf you're a high-performer white-knuckling your health while your body keeps the score, this one's for you.To find out how to work with Kellie: Kellies Website Kellies Social Media

Rice doesn't spike blood sugar because it's “bad.” It spikes blood sugar because of how it's eaten. In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down five science-backed ways to upgrade rice so it supports metabolic health instead of sabotaging it. You'll learn how simple additions like seaweed, vinegar, cooling rice, adding protein and fat, and using soluble fiber can dramatically lower glucose and insulin responses while improving gut health. These strategies are backed by human studies and help turn rice from a fast-acting carb into a slow-digesting, gut-healing, fat-burning food. Key topics covered: Why rice causes insulin spikes and visceral fat when eaten incorrectly How wakame seaweed lowers glucose and feeds beneficial gut bacteria Why vinegar reduces post-meal blood sugar and insulin How cooling and reheating rice creates resistant starch The importance of pairing carbs with protein, fat, and vegetables How psyllium husk can blunt glucose spikes and support digestion Why white rice can be healthier than brown rice for many people If you've been avoiding rice due to blood sugar concerns, this episode shows you how to enjoy it again without the crash.

This episode marks the conclusion of our recent Rapid Replay Series of condensed episodes, carefully curated as a launchpad for anyone wanting to level up in wellness.    In this replay episode of The Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast (originally Episode 46), host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC, and CEO of the Nutritional Therapy Association, Mike Belz, break down the Foundations of Wellness into common-sense action steps for anyone looking to level up.   If you've been nodding along with the wellness movement but still aren't sure how to take your first real step - or you want to double-check what you're doing to ensure you're not missing anything - this episode is your warm welcome in.    People everywhere are waking up to a simple truth: real health doesn't come from pills, shakes, or short-term programs. Most of us have tried them - spent the money, followed the plans - only to end up frustrated or right back where we started. The missing piece? A strong foundation. And the good news is, it's not complicated - just a few practical, common-sense shifts can spark real, lasting change.  This episode is packed with real talk, science-backed wisdom, and practical tips to help you pick your own adventure in a doable way. No more "all or nothing" attempts. Start over for the last time with one or a few of the easy but effective action steps you can incorporate today.   If you're ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and finally start your wellness journey, this episode breaks it down into six simple, sustainable categories - what we call the Foundations of Wellness. You'll learn how to:   Eat a nutrient-dense diet rooted in real, whole foods (not calorie math), following Weston A. Price principles and honoring your bio-individual needs. Optimize digestion, the root of all health, by chewing thoroughly, practicing mindful eating, and supporting stomach acid and enzyme function. Balance blood sugar with small, daily habits like walking after meals and pairing carbs with protein and fat. Improve sleep through calming evening routines, avoiding stimulants before bed, and aligning with your circadian rhythm. Reduce stress with tools like the 4-7-8 breath, gratitude practices, and brain dumping. Incorporate movement you actually enjoy - walking, dancing, or strength training—while supporting lymph flow, bone density, and energy.   Podcast Episodes Mentioned (Besides the Rapid Replay Episodes): ⁠⁠Episode 28⁠⁠ – Blood Sugar 101 ⁠Episode 29⁠ - Quick Tips for Blood Sugar Regulation ⁠Episode 62⁠ - Quick Tips From Your Blood Sugar Bestie ⁠Episode 74 - ⁠Dehydration Nation   Find a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP): ⁠⁠NTA Practitioner Directory⁠⁠   Work with a practitioner directly through the NTA.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers dives into the science of intermittent fasting and how it can be the key to burning fat and balancing blood sugar. He explains why timing your fasting window is more important than restricting calories.   You'll learn how insulin plays a pivotal role in fat storage and why fasting may not work if your blood sugar isn't stable. Dr. Jockers also discusses how cortisol can actually hinder fat loss, even during fasting.   We also touch on why women and men may need different approaches to fasting for optimal results. The strategies shared are practical, simple, and can be tailored to your lifestyle for long-term success.     In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to intermittent fasting and its benefits 02:45 Explanation of the fasting window and its importance for fat loss 05:30 How insulin affects fat storage and fat burning 08:00 Why fasting might spike cortisol and the consequences for fat loss 10:15 Blood sugar stability: Key to success in intermittent fasting 12:00 Key differences in fasting approaches for men and women 14:30 Wrap-up and final fasting tips   If you want to burn belly fat…boost your energy levels…balance blood sugar…or relieve swelling in your legs or feet… Then you need to check out PureHealth Research immediately.   This company makes some amazing health-boosting supplements that are manufactured right here in America.

Hey Friend, As we head into a new year, I wanted to pause and share something important with you. In this short episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what's coming next for the Functional Medicine for Christian Women podcast—and why 2026 will be the most intentional, focused, and supportive year yet. January will look a little different around here. Instead of brand-new weekly episodes, I'll be re-airing the five most impactful episodes from the podcast—episodes that listeners consistently tell me helped them finally understand what was going on in their bodies. Along with each re-aired episode, I'll also be sharing exciting updates about what's coming in the year ahead. In this episode, I share: Why January will be a reset and re-air month How the podcast is shifting in 2026 (and why) The five core pillars we'll be focusing on moving forward What you can expect in terms of education, tools, and conversations Why this is the most planned and prayerfully considered season of the podcast yet In 2026, the podcast will be centered around the topics I'm asked about most in client appointments and conversations, including: Blood sugar and metabolic stability Gut health, digestion, and inflammation Stress, cortisol, and nervous system safety Hormones and thyroid as downstream systems Faith, stewardship, and sustainable health We'll also be bringing in thoughtful guests and strategic partners to help you feel informed and confident as you navigate topics like blood sugar balance, hormone health, gut health, GLP-1 medications, and glucose monitors—always through a calm, Biblical, and functional medicine lens. If you've been craving clarity, simplicity, and a more sustainable approach to your health, you're in the right place. Thank you for being here, for listening, and for trusting me to walk alongside you in this season. January is a reset—and what's coming next is something I can't wait to share. Stay tuned. In grace + health, Lacy Lain Before you go…

Over the holiday season, I'm releasing a couple of previous podcasts that were particularly popular with listeners. This first one is an interview I did with GP Dr David Unwin. David  has been a pioneer in the UK developing and promoting a low-carb approach for treating type 2 diabetes. In 2016, he won the NHS innovator of the year award for his work. His treatment approach has been so successful that  he has put around half his type 2 diabetic patients, who follow a low carb diet, into remission. And as a result, his practice, spends far less on diabetic medication than any of the surrounding GP surgeries. The potential cost savings if this approach was adopted nationally and internationally, would be huge for health services across the world. We tend to think that unless we have a form of diabetes that we don't really need to be concerned about our blood sugar levels, but nothing could be further from the truth. As we get older, all of us unless we change our diet and lifestyle, will see our blood sugar levels rise, this causes our bodies to produce more and more insulin, which can lead to insulin resistance. If we eat a diet high in carbohydrates, this is likely to exacerbate the problem. And that matters because insulin resistance isn't just linked to type 2 diabetes but a wide range of illnesses including high blood pressure, heart disease, Alzheimer's and some cancers too. In the podcast, David discusses the Public Health Collaboration, a charity that he set up with colleagues, which aims to promote metabolic health and so prevent many chronic diseases. Here's a link to it: https://phcuk.org/ And here is a link to David's most recent paper published in BMJ nutrition, also discussed in the podcast: https://nutrition.bmj.com/content/6/1/46   If you would like to support this podcast you can do so via Patreon at or via PayPal.

This episode covers: • FDA Loosens Supplement Warning Labels The FDA is considering a rule change that would allow supplement companies to include the DSHEA disclaimer only once per package rather than next to every claim. Dave explains why fewer visible warnings could make marketing look more like medical claims, and why biohackers should treat labels as advertising rather than evidence. He shares how to protect yourself now: add one variable at a time, run baseline labs, and rely on data instead of packaging. Source: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fda-supplements-warning-label-rule-change-rfk-jr-rcna249321 • Quantum Sensors for Early Heart Attack Detection Mayo Clinic is testing a contactless heart-monitoring system called CardiAQ using quantum magnetic sensors and AI noise filtering. The device reads subtle electromagnetic signatures from the heart and compares them to invasive angiography. Dave breaks down why earlier detection of ischemia could shift heart care from reactive treatment to proactive screening — and why building baseline metrics like VO₂max, blood pressure and HRV today will pay off when next-gen diagnostics arrive. Source: https://www.sandboxaq.com/press/sandboxaq-collaborates-with-mayo-clinic-on-novel-cardiac-diagnostics • Sauna Detox for MicroplasticsEmerging research shows that sweating meaningfully removes plastic-related chemicals like BPA and phthalate metabolites from the body, often more efficiently than blood or urine alone. Sauna use amplifies this effect by increasing circulation, mobilizing stored toxins from tissues, and accelerating sweat-based excretion. When you combine regular heat exposure with reduced environmental plastic contact, you create a powerful detox strategy that targets a chemical burden once thought unavoidable. Dave breaks down how sauna protocols can support toxin elimination, improve cardiovascular resilience, strengthen autonomic balance, and help counteract the metabolic and hormonal disruptions linked to microplastics in modern life.Source: https://superage.com/can-you-sweat-out-microplastics-in-the-sauna/ • Psychedelics and Longevity Biomarkers Bryan Johnson treated a guided psilocybin experience as a structured longevity experiment, collecting nearly 250 biomarkers including CGM, stress markers, HRV and Kernel brain imaging. The experiment revealed a surprising metabolic change: mean glucose dropped 8 percent, variability fell 11 percent, and estimated HbA1c moved from 4.7 to 4.4 — similar to months of metformin but after a single session. Dave explores the emerging idea that neuroplastic events might influence glucose regulation through brain-pancreas signaling, while emphasizing the need for supervised, legal use and proper clinical trials. Source: https://www.businessinsider.com/bryan-johnson-trip-on-mushrooms-five-hours-live-2025-12 • A Mitochondrial Protein that Extends Mouse Lifespan Researchers boosted the mitochondrial protein COX7RP and extended mouse lifespan by ~6.6 percent while improving insulin sensitivity, lipid handling, endurance and liver fat metabolism. COX7RP supports formation of mitochondrial “supercomplexes,” improving respiratory efficiency and ATP generation. Dave explains how this reinforces lifestyle levers — strength training, aerobic capacity, stabilizing blood sugar — as tools that likely preserve supercomplex architecture and mitochondrial resilience.
