Podcasts about blood sugar

Episode Description: Everyone is calling it nature's Ozempic. That is marketing. And it is doing a total disservice to what berberine actually does. Berberine is not a GLP-1 drug. It does not work the same way. The weight loss outcomes are not comparable. And if you are taking it expecting to drop 15% of your body weight, you are going to be disappointed. But here is what the research actually shows, and why Dr. G takes berberine every single day. The clinical evidence on berberine for blood sugar, cholesterol, insulin resistance, and gut health is genuinely compelling. A three month randomized controlled trial in newly diagnosed type two diabetics showed reductions in HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, and post-meal blood glucose that were comparable to metformin. A 2022 meta analysis confirmed it hits triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL, blood pressure, and insulin resistance markers simultaneously. And the gut microbiome research is a piece almost nobody is talking about.In this episode, you will learn:  •  What berberine actually does in the body through the AMPK pathway, why it is not a GLP-1, and what to realistically expect from it  • Why standard berberine has a major absorption problem, what dihydroberberine is and why it may deliver 2 to 4 times more into circulation at a fraction of the dose  • Exactly how to buy berberine intelligently, what standardization means on a label, which forms to choose, and what to avoid Dr. G's recommended berberine brands linked in the show notes.Product reviews assess both brand transparency and product quality. If a company doesn't respond to our outreach, it doesn't automatically mean their product is low quality but it does mean they're failing their customers on transparency and communication. We reach out multiple times. No response isn't an oversight, it's a choice. And consumers deserve better.

What if your child's behavior problem is not just a behavior problem?In this episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex sits down with Dr. Stacy Haynes, a licensed professional counselor, educator, speaker, author, and children's ministry leader, to discuss a truth every parent needs to understand:Mental health is physical health.Together, they explore how sleep, nutrition, movement, technology, family rhythms, and spiritual formation all shape the emotional and behavioral health of children—especially neurodivergent children.This is not a conversation about replacing counseling, diagnosis, medication, or professional care with “just eat better and exercise.” This is about seeing the whole child: body, mind, emotions, environment, and spirit.Coach Alex and Dr. Stacy discuss:Why children's behavior is often connected to physical wellnessHow sleep, hunger, blood sugar, and screen time affect emotional regulationWhy neurodivergent children may be more sensitive to food, tone, noise, and routineHow parents can support children without shame or fearWhy labels like ADHD or autism can be helpful when used wiselyHow churches can better support neurodivergent children and tired parentsWhy exercise helps regulate emotions, sleep, gut health, and anxietyHow to build healthier family rhythms around food, movement, screens, and restWhy technology should be treated as a privilege, not a rightHow parents can lead by example instead of trying to fix one child in isolationThis episode is especially helpful for parents, children's ministry leaders, teachers, coaches, and anyone who loves a child whose brain or body works a little differently.Your child is not a problem to solve.They are a person to steward, love, guide, and understand.And by God's grace, your family can build rhythms that help everyone flourish.Timestamps00:00 – Introduction to Dr. Stacy Haynes01:14 – “Mental Health Is Physical Health”02:54 – Why Parents Need a Holistic View of Behavior04:13 – Dr. Stacy's Journey Into Counseling and Ministry05:35 – Children's Ministry, Trauma, and Positive Childhood Experiences08:48 – Coach Alex's Childhood, ACE Score, and Church as a Safe Place09:51 – Dr. Stacy's Heart for Children With Autism11:14 – Why Labels Can Help When Used Wisely12:18 – Releasing Fear Around Diagnosis14:24 – Making the Most of How God Made Your Child16:52 – Dysregulation: What It Looks Like in Kids18:50 – Blood Sugar, Breakfast, and Behavior20:08 – What Sugar Can Do to a Neurodivergent Child's Day22:01 – Children's Ministry Lessons From Neurodivergent Kids25:20 – How to Talk With Parents Without Shame26:26 – Helping Parents Become Detectives29:01 – Dandelions, Orchids, and Different Kinds of Resilience33:48 – Sabbath, Rhythm, Rest, and Recovery35:17 – Exercise and Emotional Regulation37:44 – Exercise, ADHD, and the Brain40:36 – Leading by Example as a Family42:21 – Changing the Pantry and Building a Culture of Health43:12 – Christ Is in the Details of Family Rhythms47:24 – Screen Time, Technology, and Stewardship48:26 – Practical Technology Rules for Families51:40 – Replacing Screen Time With Connection55:28 – Rapid Fire: Three Things That Help Kids Quickly56:12 – What the Church Needs to Know About Neurodivergent Families56:39 – Encouragement for Parents Who Want to Shift57:07 – Closing PrayerJoin The Faithful 5k - August 15th!

I share my own story of growing up on a high-sugar diet and struggling with daily anxiety, only to see a dramatic improvement within weeks of reducing refined sugar and eating meals that supported stable blood sugar.I also share stories from clients who experienced improvements in depression, anxiety, energy levels, marriage, and parenting simply by focusing on blood sugar balance. I explain how blood sugar spikes and crashes trigger insulin, cortisol, and adrenaline, contributing to chronic stress, inflammation, and disruptions in neurotransmitter function. We'll also discuss how modern foods and drinks make it easier than ever to get caught in this cycle.Listen in as I Share:Why blood sugar impacts far more than just weight and diabetes riskHow blood sugar fluctuations can contribute to anxiety, mood swings, PMS, and poor sleepThe signs of unstable blood sugar, including shakiness, energy crashes, cravings, waking between 2–4 a.m., severe PMS, and dependence on caffeineSimple strategies to stabilize blood sugar, including eating regular meals, reducing added sugars and refined carbohydrates, building balanced meals, prioritizing sleep, and moving your bodyHow improving blood sugar balance can positively affect your hormones, relationships, and daily quality of life+so much more.Connect with Lauren:Get my FREE PCOS Guide hereJoin the Empowered Path to Pregnancy hereInstagramWork With MeThank you so much for listening to the About Health and Hormones Podcast!

What if you could naturally make your own version of Ozempic every time you eat the right meal? In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe breaks down the exact foods, supplements, probiotics, and meal timing strategies that help your gut activate GLP-1, the hormone that tells your brain you're full, steadies blood sugar, and shuts down cravings. Millions of people are spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month on GLP-1 drugs, but Dr. Axe says the real “Nature's Ozempic” starts in your grocery store — with protein, fiber, polyphenols, fermented foods, and berberine.  Uncover what's really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! →  http://mybloodwork.com Download the FREE Nature's Ozempic Guide: https://bit.ly/draxenaturesozempic Thank you to our sponsors!

Should you stop taking glucosamine based on a new study linking it to Alzheimer's? What's behind the spate of “Tai Chi Walking” social media posts? Undereye “festoons”—what to do about them? Are antibiotics the only treatment for SIBO? Vaping after smoking hikes risk for lung cancer.

You were told to try again. Maybe you were told it was bad luck, or to wait until it happened a third time before anyone would look. Here is what changed this year. In 2026, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine updated its definition of recurrent pregnancy loss for the first time since 2012. Two losses now meet the definition, not three, and a positive test that ended early counts. The old number kept women waiting for a third loss before the investigation even started. Here is the part no one tells you. Meeting the definition gets you a workup. It does not guarantee the workup is complete. After two or more losses, up to half of couples are told the same word. Unexplained. The losses are real. What gets called a complete workup is the question. This episode is the 9 specific things we most often find that are rarely checked before a woman is told her losses were unexplained or simply bad luck. Pull it up. Take notes. Bring it to your next appointment. The 9 patterns: Thyroid, the full panel and antibodies, not just TSH Antiphospholipid antibodies, tested correctly Chronic endometritis The reproductive microbiome, vaginal and seminal The gut, hidden gluten, and inflammation Sperm DNA fragmentation The male partner's full bloodwork Blood sugar and metabolic patterns The nervous system and progesterone These are the areas that sit outside a standard miscarriage workup. A 2012 meta-analysis in Human Reproduction, pooling sixteen studies and nearly three thousand couples, found miscarriage rates rose with sperm DNA damage, with about twice the relative risk. Unexplained rarely means there is nothing to find. It usually means the search stopped at the karyotype, one antiphospholipid test, the anatomy, and a TSH.

The World Cup is here, and while we watch some of the world's greatest athletes competing on a global stage, it's fascinating to consider what effect this intense activity may have on the human body. With that in mind, we're re-releasing our conversation with Stanford biochemist Jonathan Long on the future of exercise. Jonathan studies the chemistry of what happens inside your body when you move, and his findings are pointing toward some genuinely surprising possibilities — including treatments for obesity, diabetes, and even, someday, an exercise pill. If the athleticism on the pitch has you feeling inspired, this one is well worth another listen. Have a question for Russ? Send it our way in writing or via voice memo, and it might be featured on an upcoming episode. Please introduce yourself, let us know where you're listening from, and share your question.

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling challenge the idea that the number on the scale is the best measure of metabolic progress, revealing why fasting is less about making the scale move and more about why it's moving. They break down the critical difference between being metabolically healthy at a higher weight versus metabolically at-risk at a normal weight, and why BMI alone misses the full picture. The hosts walk through five key markers to track alongside fasting — waist circumference, fasting glucose and insulin, triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, blood pressure, and visceral fat indicators — and explain how each one reflects real metabolic healing that the scale simply can't show. Listeners will come away understanding why consistency with fasting windows and simplified, protein-forward food choices accelerates cellular healing far more than chasing a daily weigh-in number. As a challenge this week, Dr. Scott and Tommy encourage listeners to measure their waist-to-height ratio, pull their most recent labs, and set one new scoreboard metric to track their true metabolic progress. ⁠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.

This roundtable makes the case that both are early warning lights for your heart, your metabolism, and your long-term health and that ignoring them can cost you a decade.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with urologists and men's health specialists Dr. Mohit Khera, Dr. Larry Lipshultz, and Dr. Tobias Köhler to discuss:Why a 35-year-old with ED carries a ~15% risk of heart attack or stroke within 7 years, ~3.5x the risk of depression, and ~30% odds of diabetes or prediabetes and why a prescription alone misses all of itWhy "age-related" testosterone decline is largely a misnomer: a healthy man shouldn't drop significantly with age, so falling T usually signals something reversible underneathHow testosterone became the single best blood marker of a man's overall health, and the case for annual screening that almost no man getsWhat the TRAVERSE trial changed when the FDA removed testosterone's cardiovascular warning in 2025, debunking the prostate-cancer and heart-attack fearsThe 2-minute monthly self-exam every man should do to catch testicular cancer early, when it's ~99% curableIf you've been told your symptoms are "just aging" or you love a man who refuses to see a doctor.

Raising a neurodivergent child often comes with questions that traditional parenting advice doesn't answer—especially when it comes to food, sensory sensitivities, emotional regulation, and mealtime struggles. In this episode, Andrea sits down with ADHD Life Coach, Certified Teacher, and Functional Nutrition Practitioner Amy Jones to explore the powerful connection between ADHD, autism, nervous system regulation, blood sugar balance, and eating behaviors. Together, they discuss why picky eating is rarely just a behavior problem, how metabolic demands impact neurodivergent brains, and practical ways parents can reduce stress around meals while supporting their child's health and regulation. In this episode, you'll learn: Why picky eating is often a nervous system issue—not a behavior problem The connection between ADHD, emotional regulation, and blood sugar balance How sensory sensitivities influence food choices and mealtime challenges Why traditional mealtime expectations often don't work for neurodivergent children Practical strategies for expanding food variety without pressure or power struggles How to navigate comments and criticism from family members around your child's eating habits The importance of honoring capacity, flexibility, and nervous-system safety around food Why neurodivergent brains often require a different approach to nutrition and daily routines Connect with Amy Jones: Website: www.amyjonesnutrition.com Instagram: @amyjonesnutrition If this episode encouraged you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with another parent who could use some reassurance that they're not doing it wrong—they may just need a different roadmap.

Acne is often treated like a surface problem, but what if your skin is actually signaling deeper imbalances inside the body? On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared breaks down acne from a functional medicine perspective, exploring how hormones, liver function, gut health, stress, blood sugar, and the microbiome may all play a role in breakouts at every age. He discusses the connection between insulin, androgen balance, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and inflammation, while also diving into the gut-skin axis and the importance of liver detoxification pathways. Jared also shares natural strategies he has used successfully for years, including targeted nutrition, probiotic support, endocrine detoxification support, and topical approaches that work with the skin rather than against it. Plus, he offers an honest discussion about Accutane, antibiotics, and why addressing root causes matters for long-term skin health.Products:LiverVitalityEndoCleanseBack On TractPrecision Probiotic Vital SporesTriple Action Nano-Silver Skin GelVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Type 2 diabetes is often presented as a chronic, progressive disease that inevitably requires increasing medications over time. But what if that's not the full story? In this week's episode of Optimal Metabolism, I sit down with Dr. Jason Shumard to discuss the root causes of type 2 diabetes, why conventional treatment approaches often fall short, and what it actually takes to reverse blood sugar dysfunction. Dr. Shumard shares his perspective on insulin resistance, metabolic health, nutrition, and lifestyle factors that contribute to diabetes progression. We explore common misconceptions about blood sugar management and discuss practical strategies that can help people regain metabolic health and reduce their reliance on medications. If you've been told that type 2 diabetes is something you'll simply have to manage forever, this conversation may challenge what you thought you knew. What We Discussed Why type 2 diabetes develops in the first place The relationship between insulin resistance and blood sugar dysfunction Common myths about diabetes treatment Why medication alone may not address the root cause Nutrition strategies that support healthy blood sugar levels The role of fasting and meal timing in metabolic health Lifestyle factors that influence insulin sensitivity What "diabetes reversal" actually means How long it may take to see meaningful improvements Practical first steps for listeners dealing with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes About Dr. Jason Shumard Dr. Jason Shumard specializes in helping people understand the underlying causes of type 2 diabetes and implement strategies to restore metabolic health. Through education and practical lifestyle interventions, he helps individuals take control of their blood sugar and work toward lasting health improvements.

PSA: psychiatry does not have any case reports of diseases that are validated! This shortcoming of the DSM is why Luis dropped out of psychology and instead chose holistic psychology. As Luis sees it, behavior is not a fixed identity. There is no biochemical data proving “mental disease”. What we can track is neurotransmitters, like seratonin. 50-90% of these are made in the gut. Cue nutrition. Food is a shortcut to influencing change in the brain's biochemistry. Carbs influence glucose, which plays an active role in our mood. If you would like to track your glucose consider getting a glucose monitor like hellolingo.com for two weeks to gather data. Notice what you eat, how you feel, your activities, and your mood, all relative to the continuous glucose monitor's data. If you would like to see Luis' hellolingo.com glucose charts, tune in to the YouTube video version of this podcast.  If you are curious about using nutrition to support your mental health, check out our 6 month Embodied Nutrition Slow group, starting July 7th 2026,:https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/slow-practice-nutrition-groupYou can read more about, and register for, the upcoming 6 month "Embodied Nutrition" program here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/slow-practice-nutrition-group----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?

Are your daily habits negatively impacting your hormones and your overall health? And when it comes to hormones, are you focusing on only your sex hormones? It turns out other hormones are running the show! This episode breaks down common hormone dealbreakers and practical steps you can take to avoid them and reclaim your health.On this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck is joined by Robin Nielsen, board-certified integrative nutritionist and founder of Natural Hormone Solution, to unpack the hidden hormone dealbreakers quietly sabotaging your health.

In this thought-provoking episode of Optimal Metabolism, Shana tackles four deceptively simple questions that reveal some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding metabolic health today. Could eating too often be more problematic than eating too much? Can someone be overweight and undernourished at the same time? Is your fatigue really a food issue—or could your light environment be playing a larger role? And what if your nightly Netflix habit is affecting your blood sugar more than that dessert you enjoyed after dinner? If you've been struggling with stubborn weight, fatigue, cravings, blood sugar issues, or simply feel like you're doing everything right without seeing results, this episode will challenge your thinking and give you a fresh perspective on what may be driving your symptoms. WHAT WE DISCUSSED: • What's harder on metabolism: overeating or over-frequent eating? • How insulin and meal frequency influence fat burning and metabolic flexibility. • Why many people today are simultaneously overweight and undernourished. • The connection between nutrient density, cravings, and metabolic dysfunction. • How light exposure impacts circadian rhythms, cortisol, melatonin, and energy production. • Why fatigue isn't always about food, supplements, or hormones. • The surprising relationship between evening screen exposure and blood sugar regulation. • Practical strategies to improve metabolic health without adding more restriction.

In today's episode, Julia breaks down the connection between breakfast, blood sugar balance, cortisol, stress, and eczema. While skipping breakfast may seem harmless, it can impact your energy, nervous system, inflammation, and even your skin.She covers:Why so many people skip breakfastThe connection between cortisol, stress, and inflammationHow skipping breakfast affects blood sugarsCommon signs and symptoms of under-fuelingWhat to do if you're not hungry in the morningWork with Julia:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a Free Consultation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a 1:1 EFT Tapping Session with Julia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Julia on her social⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@juliachien.rd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the growing interest in biological age versus chronological age and explains that biological aging is modifiable through consistent lifestyle choices. She outlines common measurement tools and biomarkers, including epigenetic clocks (DNA methylation), telomere length, VO2 max, inflammatory markers, grip strength, and muscle mass, noting that genetics account for only about 25–40% of biological aging variation. Key interventions include regular aerobic and resistance exercise, protein-adequate nutrition to preserve muscle and prevent sarcopenia (with whey protein and leucine-rich foods noted), improved sleep, stress management, reducing processed foods and visceral fat, and lowering chronic inflammation (CRP, IL-6). She also reviews hormetic stressors such as sauna use and mentions red/near-infrared light and sun exposure without sunglasses. Leyla shares client examples showing biological age can worsen or improve, and encourages repeat testing after lifestyle changes.

If you have Hashimoto's and have been told your blood sugar is "borderline" or "fine for now," this conversation will change how you think about it. Inna sits down with Dr. Jason Shumard, a functional medicine practitioner with more than two decades of experience in diabetes and insulin resistance, to unpack why blood sugar troubles and thyroid autoimmunity so often travel together. The surprising takeaway is that elevated blood sugar usually isn't a sugar problem at all. It's a signal that something has gone wrong at the level of the cell, and chasing the number alone tends to leave the real issue untouched.Dr. Jason walks through what's actually happening when insulin can no longer do its job, and why the receptors on your cells stop responding in the first place. He explains the role that hidden drivers like infections, mold, heavy metals, chronic inflammation and everyday stress play in keeping the cycle going, and why these overlap so heavily with the same triggers behind Hashimoto's. He and Inna also dig into the lab markers worth paying attention to beyond a basic glucose reading, the optimal ranges he looks for, and the simple ratio already sitting on most standard bloodwork that can flag insulin resistance early.The discussion gets especially practical around carbohydrates, GLP-1 medications, and the idea of cycling rather than relying on any single tool forever. Dr. Jason offers a refreshingly balanced view, neither demonizing carbs nor treating medications as a permanent fix, and shares why restoring true cellular function is what allows so many people to move toward remission. It's an honest, hopeful look at a topic that affects far more people with thyroid issues than most realize, and a reminder that the body is often far more capable of healing than we've been led to believe.For full show notes, please see: https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/lowering-blood-sugar-insulin-resistance-hashimotos-dr-jason-shumard/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping If you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.com Get ThyroLove - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping 

In this episode, Dr. Hugh explains how unstable blood sugar can hurt your mitochondria and lower your energy. This problem is called dysglycemia.To learn more or schedule a Zoom call with Dr. Hugh, visit:https://drhughwegwerth.com/discovery-call/When blood sugar goes too low or too high, your cells may not get steady fuel. This can lead to poor energy, brain fog, fatigue, poor sleep, and slower healing.Dr. Hugh explains why the blood sugar “sweet spot” is important for people with chronic illness, autoimmune issues, fibromyalgia, gut problems, thyroid problems, and people recovering from antibiotic damage.In this episode, you will learn:Why blood sugar matters for mitochondrial healthHow low blood sugar can create stress in the bodyHow high blood sugar can cause inflammation and oxidative stressWhy stable blood sugar may improve energy and focusWhy Dr. Hugh likes the blood sugar range of 85 to 120How a continuous glucose monitor can help find hidden blood sugar problemsWhy blood sugar is one of the “low-hanging fruits” in healingHow poor blood sugar control may slow recoveryWhy anemia and low blood pressure also matter for healingDr. Hugh also shares a real client example showing how eating more consistently helped improve sleep and energy. He explains how tracking blood sugar can reveal patterns that regular testing may miss. Key takeaway:If your blood sugar is going too high or too low, your mitochondria may struggle to make energy. Before spending money on advanced therapies, it is important to check the basics first.To learn more or schedule a Zoom call with Dr. Hugh, visit:https://drhughwegwerth.com/discovery-call/

***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.
