What if improving type 2 diabetes wasn't simply about cutting carbohydrates, but about improving the health of your cells and metabolism? On today's show, I explore research showing that a high-carbohydrate, high-fiber diet can lead to remarkable improvements in blood sugar, insulin requirements, and cholesterol, even in people with type 2 diabetes. I'll break down why insulin resistance develops, how inflammation, visceral fat, poor sleep, and processed foods can contribute to metabolic dysfunction, and why lowering blood sugar doesn't always mean the underlying problem has been resolved. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3855 to discover what this research reveals about carbohydrates, insulin resistance, and the role of fiber in supporting long-term metabolic health.

In a Nutshell: The Plant-Based Health Professionals UK Podcast
In A Nutshell is back! We are delighted to bring you season seven of the podcast, starting with a truly inspiring guest, Drew Harrisberg, an exercise physiologist, sports scientist and diabetes educator who has lived with type one diabetes since the age of twenty-one.So who better to help us make sense of the science behind carbohydrates, and their place in a healthy diet?For people living with type one diabetes, carbohydrates can sometimes feel like the enemy. And with the explosion of low-carb and ketogenic diets, glucose monitoring and social-media advice around 'controlling' blood sugar, it's easy to come away with the impression that the fewer carbohydrates you eat, the healthier you are. But is that really the case?Drew has taken a fascinating personal journey through different approaches to nutrition, including paleo, keto and ultimately a whole-food, plant-based diet. He shares what he learned from each approach, how his diet affected his blood glucose and insulin requirements, and why he ultimately moved away from keto towards plant-based eating.But this conversation isn't simply about diabetes - it's about our relationship with carbohydrates more broadly. We explore why carbohydrates aren't inherently unhealthy, why a rise in blood glucose after eating isn't necessarily something to fear, and whether the current obsession with flattening glucose curves is distracting us from the bigger picture of dietary quality.To find out more about Drew:https://drewsdailydose.com/To get your tickets for The Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine Conference:https://nlmc.org.uk/To sign up to the online plant-based nutrition course and the cancer course from The University of Winchester:https://www.winchester.ac.uk/study/short-courses/courses/Plant-based-Nutrition/https://www.winchester.ac.uk/study/Short-courses/Courses/Lifestyle-medicine-for-cancer-prevention-and-survivorship/Further reading:https://plantbasedhealthprofessionals.com/low-carb-plant-based-diet-what-to-eat

More at d-c dot com slash events. Okay.. our top story this week: XX Another indication for Mounjaro – the FDA approved it to lower the risk of major adverse cardiovascular (CV) events (MACE), including CV death, non-fatal heart attack, or non-fatal stroke in adults with type 2 diabetes who are at high risk for these events. Mounjaro – the brand name of tirzepatide - is already approved as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve blood sugar in adults and children 10 years of age and older with type 2 diabetes. The approval was based on results from the largest and longest tirzepatide study to date, enrolling more than 13,000 participants across 30 countries over more than four and a half years. In the trial, Mounjaro demonstrated non-inferiority to Trulicity (dulaglutide), a GLP-1 treatment with established cardiovascular benefit, with an 8% lower rate of cardiovascular death, heart attack or stroke (MACE-3). The estimated hazard ratio for time to first MACE was 0.92 (95.3% CI: 0.83, 1.01) for Mounjaro compared to Trulicity (dulaglutide). https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/fda-approves-lillys-mounjaro-tirzepatide-to-reduce-cardiovascular-risk-in-adults-with-type-2-diabetes-302862415.html XX The FDA approves the Libre Duo – the first device designed to continuously monitor both blood sugar levels and ketone levels in people with diabetes. The Libre Duo 10-Day Continuous Dual Glucose Ketone Monitoring System is now approved for those ages 2 and older. Until now, the agency said, people had to monitor ketone levels with separate tests that only provided a single measurement at one point in time. The new system combines blood sugar and ketone tests and monitors them continuously. Readings -- and alerts in case of dangerous trends -- are sent wirelessly to a smartphone app. The FDA previously granted "breakthrough device" status to the system, which is meant to expedite the device's development and review. https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2026/08/25/fda-oks-blood-sugar-ketone-monitor/5521787688375/ XX Diabetes tech firms Dexcom and Abbott are watching closely for a Medicare coverage expansion that could significantly broaden access to their glucose sensors. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is expected to expand Medicare coverage of continuous glucose monitors to people with diabetes who do not take insulin. Currently, coverage is limited to people with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes who take insulin or have a history of problematic low blood sugar. Dexcom CEO Jake Leach told investors in a late July earnings call that the company expects to hear back from the CMS before the end of the year, with coverage going into effect in mid-2027. Dexcom presented results of a randomized, controlled trial earlier this summer at the American Diabetes Association's Scientific Sessions that it expects will support the CMS' decision. The 26-week study found that people who used a CGM had a larger hemoglobin A1C reduction than the control group and spent five more hours per day in a normal glucose range than the control group. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/dexcom-abbott-await-medicare-coverage-expansion-for-cgms/828775/ XX A new study suggests continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) may offer benefits for people with type 1 diabetes that go beyond improving blood sugar and reducing hypoglycemia. Researchers analyzed health records from more than 8,400 adults with type 1 diabetes receiving care through the Veterans Health Administration. Over one to four years of follow-up, people who started using a CGM had a 10% to 16% lower risk of death from any cause compared with those who did not use one. The association appeared strongest among people over age 65 and those who were not using insulin pumps. Researchers did not find meaningful differences based on A1C, race or ethnicity, or frailty. Importantly, this was an observational study using medical records, not a randomized clinical trial, so it cannot prove that CGM use directly caused the lower death rate. But the findings suggest CGM may have important long-term health benefits beyond glucose management.https://visualize.jove.com/42319755-continuous-glucose-monitoring-initiation-is-associated-with-reduced-mortality-in-older-onset-type-1-diabetes-patients-a-target-trial-emulation-study-within-the-veterans-health-administration XX We've been talking about people without diabetes using CGMs for a long time.. now a new study weighs in. Research published in JAMA finds that this wellness trend isn't helpful for people without a diabetes diagnosis. They found that the strongest evidence for CGM use is for people who are already living with diabetes, but not for those without the condition who use them for wellness purposes. It's also worth noting, though, that this new study is a narrative review. This means that the researchers drew their conclusions from the findings reported in several other studies. More randomized controlled trials would be necessary to see whether there are any meaningful health benefits of using a CGM if you don't have diabetes. Dower also warned that constantly monitoring your blood sugar when you don't have diabetes could lead to unintended health anxiety. In some cases, you may even make accidental lifestyle changes that could be harmful. "[Blood sugar] spikes may occur after meals, but if this leads someone to replace healthy food such as fruit with unhealthy food such as something high in fat but low in carbohydrate, the glucose information has done more harm than good," Dower said. https://www.verywellhealth.com/blood-sugar-monitor-for-people-without-diabetes-12058575 XX Could metformin somehow influence the biological processes that drive aging? A new review found evidence that metformin may affect several key features of aging, including how cells use energy, inflammation, cellular damage and even some changes in gene activity. Animal studies have shown longer lifespans or improvements in markers of biological aging, while some human studies have also found promising results. But researchers say there's still no proof that metformin actually slows aging or helps healthy people live longer. Most human research has involved people with diabetes or other health conditions, and one large trial found that while metformin helped prevent type 2 diabetes, it did not reduce cancer, cardiovascular disease or deaths. Researchers say larger clinical trials in people without diabetes are needed to determine whether metformin can truly extend healthy lifespan—or whether its benefits are primarily related to preventing and treating specific diseases. https://www.technologynetworks.com/drug-discovery/news/metformin-may-influence-longevity-through-the-gut-microbiome-and-epigenetic-changes-416035 XX More to come including more research on a spice thought to help diabetes, predictions about the number of people who may be living with type 1 in the years to come around the world, and a connection I didn't know about between diabetes and Dolly Parton. XX A compound found in turmeric may help protect blood vessels from some of the damage caused by Type 1 diabetes. In rats, curcumin reduced inflammation, improved cellular signaling, and restored vascular health to levels resembling those of nondiabetic animals. The results hint at a possible new way to reduce the long-term cardiovascular risks of diabetes, but human trials are still needed. Curcumin, the natural compound responsible for turmeric's vivid yellow color, is widely studied for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/08/260824065543.htm XX New research estimates the number of people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) worldwide will increase by 29% from 9.4 million in 2025 to 12.1 million in 2049. This will be presented at EASD, the Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Milan, Italy (Sept 28 – Oct 2 The USA will see an increase of over half a million, going from 1,492,825 to 2,055,235. The authors suggest that the reasons for the predicted high incidence and prevalence in 2049 in countries such as Australia, US, UK are likely to be a combination of genetics, environmental triggers and also high case detection rates (due to the good health care infrastructure here and in other HIC). Unlike previous estimates, the DIAMOND-T1D model takes historical patterns of insulin availability into account and aims to provide global, regional and country-specific estimates of T1D incidence, prevalence and mortality from 1900 to 2050. Although the majority of people with T1D live in high-income countries (HIC) and middle-income countries (MIC), the largest relative increase in the T1D prevalence is expected to occur in LIC as access to insulin, glucose monitoring and survival all improve in those countries. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260828/Type-1-diabetes-cases-projected-to-increase-worldwide-by-2049.aspx XX Early initiation of statins after a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes was associated with a lower risk of dementia, according to a study published in The Lancet Regional Health – Europe. According to the Lancet Commission, nearly half of dementia cases could theoretically be prevented by eliminating 14 risk factors. "Detecting and treating high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from midlife is one such highlighted risk factor," From Danish registers, researchers identified 132,585 statin-naive individuals who developed type 2 diabetes from 2006 through 2019, with follow-up until the end of 2021. Medical records were searched for diagnoses of all-cause dementia. A clone-censor-weight design was used to analyze dementia incidence in patients with no statin initiation within five years after diagnosis, in those with early statin initiation within one year and in those with late statin initiation between one and five years after diagnosis. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-08-early-statins-diagnosis-diabetes-dementia.html XX We are heartbroken over the loss of our friend Dolly Parton. Dolly was a beloved icon whose extraordinary generosity, warmth, and compassion touched countless lives, including those of the Children's Diabetes Foundation and the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes. Her support of The Carousel Ball and Carousel of Hope Ball reflected her deep commitment to helping children and families affected by type 1 diabetes. Beyond her remarkable talent, Dolly will be remembered for the kindness and joy she shared so generously with others. Our hearts are with her family, friends, and all who loved her as we celebrate her extraordinary life and lasting legacy. She will be deeply missed.

For decades, Professor Tim Noakes told the world that carbohydrate-loaded muscles were the secret to endurance performance. He built a career on it, wrote a bestselling running manual around it, and trained a generation of athletes to believe it. Then, standing at a podium, he tore the nutrition chapter out of his own book.In this conversation with Dr. Philip Ovadia, the South African physiologist traces a personal reckoning that began with an unlikely diagnosis: type 2 diabetes, arrived at while running fifty miles a week and staying lean. He walks through the science that forced him to abandon three decades of orthodoxy, the university battle and courtroom fight that followed his public reversal, and a model of carbohydrate metabolism built on two very different pools of glucose, one that barely matters and one that determines whether an athlete falters.The conversation moves from Cape Town laboratories to Mongolia to a South African courtroom, and lands on a mechanism connecting muscle glycogen, insulin, and the ability to burn fat that most people, including many physicians, were never taught.BIG IDEAHow much glycogen sits in the muscles determines whether insulin stays elevated and the body keeps burning carbohydrate instead of fat, a discovery that overturned decades of sports nutrition dogma and reframed muscle glycogen not as a performance reserve but as a dumping ground for excess blood glucose.Professor Tim Noakes Contact InfoWebsite: https://TheNoakesFoundation.orgBook: The Lore of Running (Complete Update Coming) https://amzn.to/3RUTRsVInterview with Dr. Eric Westman: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1810620/episodes/14766410Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Welcome to Diabetes Confessions — a diabetes series where talk about my diabetes confessions and how I've learned to overcome the mental, physical, and emotional toll of living with diabetes. (Episode 2): Pre-bolusing is one of the most important things you can do to keep your blood sugar stable after a meal. I've known that for a long time. And for a long stretch of my life with T1D — I wasn't doing it. Not consistently. Not correctly. And sometimes not at all.In this episode I break down what pre-bolusing actually is, why synthetic insulin needs time to activate before food breaks down and rises your blood sugar, and why skipping this one step is often the reason blood sugars spike to 200+ after meals that should have been manageable. I also get honest about why I still don't pre-bolus every single time — and the specific situations where the math changes completely.This one is practical, personal, and exactly the kind of conversation I wish someone had had with me when I was first diagnosed.If you're consistently spiking after meals and can't figure out why — this episode is for you.
If current trends continue, the rate of diabetes in young people could increase by 700% by 2060 - one in three Americans born in 2000 or after will eventually have diabetes!!

The FDA just expanded Mounjaro's label to include reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, and the headline is easy to love and easy to misunderstand. We slow it down and translate what the approval actually means for people living with type 2 diabetes, especially those worried about heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death.We unpack the exact endpoint behind the claim: MACE, which combines cardiovascular death, non-fatal heart attack, and non-fatal stroke, and we clarify what it is not saying (no, it is not “erasing plaque” or curing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease). We also explain the real-world nuance around branding and indications: Mounjaro and Zepbound are both tirzepatide, but FDA labels are population-specific, and that can affect clinical decisions and insurance coverage.Then we walk through the Surpass-CVOT cardiovascular outcomes trial in plain English. The key twist is the comparator: tirzepatide was tested against Trulicity (dulaglutide), an active GLP-1 medication with known heart benefit, not placebo. That's why understanding noninferiority vs superiority matters so much. We talk hazard ratios, absolute vs relative risk, and the surprising finding that bigger weight loss and a larger A1C drop did not translate into statistically superior cardiovascular outcomes during the study window.We close with practical guidance and a list of questions you can bring to your own checkup, including whether you have established cardiovascular disease, what makes you “high risk,” whether other cardioprotective meds are already doing the job, how dose changes could affect insulin or blood pressure meds, and what it will actually cost.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Kombucha. Is this fizzy, tangy drink really the gut health hero everyone on social media claims it to be, or is it just another trendy beverage riding the wellness wave straight into your grocery store fridge? Jenn digs into what kombucha is, how it is made, and what the research says about its impact on digestion, immunity, skin, blood sugar, and even your liver. There is a lot to like here, and yet there are also a few catches that most labels will not tell you, from hidden sugar to a serving size most people are drinking way past.

Food as Medicine: Why Medical Nutrition Therapy and Medically Tailored Meals Belong in Modern Healthcare: Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin argues that food should be treated with the same rigor as medication through medical nutrition therapy (MNT) and “diet prescriptions,” integrating nutrition into treatment plans rather than leaving it as optional advice. She cites evidence that medically tailored meals (MTMs) can improve outcomes and reduce costs, including a Health Affairs simulation estimating $23.7B in first-year net savings nationwide and a Nature Medicine analysis of a Massachusetts Medicaid demonstration (2020–2023) showing MTM recipients had 31% fewer hospitalizations, 20% fewer emergency visits, and $3,433 lower total healthcare costs, offsetting 98% of program costs. She discusses food insecurity, expanding Medicaid coverage via Section 1115 waivers, EHR integration, and how MTMs support adherence for conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, depression, and IBS (including low FODMAP).
What happens when life throws something at you that you just can't undo? A diagnosis. A loss. A moment that changes everything. In this episode of the MindBodySpace Podcast, Dr. Juna sits down with Dr. Ellen O'Donnell — clinical child psychologist at Mass General Hospital and assistant professor at Harvard Medical School — to talk about easily missed symptoms of Diabetes and possible screening for this disease in the near future. She also talks about what resilience really looks like when there's no going back.This isn't about "bouncing back." It's about finding your new normal and building on your strengths to move forward.What you'll learn:Why resilience is NOT about returning to who you were beforeHow to stop guilt from blocking your ability to heal and adaptWhat a "new normal" actually looks like — and how to find yoursPractical tools for parents, caregivers, and anyone navigating a major life changeHow to build resilience in your kids even through the hardest momentsWhether you're a parent, a caregiver, or someone facing your own unexpected chapter — this episode will give you real, science-backed strategies to keep moving forward.
In today's episode, I asked Graham one question at the start of this episode — what are the two most important things that keep your blood sugar stable?Two Type 1 diabetics. Fifty years of combined experience. Two answers that might completely change how you think about what actually keeps your blood sugar stable.
Are eggs really the “clean” protein we've been told they are? In this episode of the Eat to Live Podcast, Dr. Joel Fuhrman and his daughter Jenna take a closer look at eggs, cholesterol, protein, choline, and what the research may actually tell us about long-term health. Dr. Fuhrman explains why some studies suggesting eggs carry only a modest cardiovascular risk may underestimate the bigger picture, especially when eggs are added to a diet already high in cholesterol. They also discuss how egg yolks may affect people with insulin resistance or diabetes risk, and why pregnancy can make these questions even more important. Plus, they tackle some of the biggest questions surrounding protein.

What if improving type 2 diabetes wasn't simply about cutting carbohydrates, but about improving the health of your cells and metabolism? On today's show, I explore research showing that a high-carbohydrate, high-fiber diet can lead to remarkable improvements in blood sugar, insulin requirements, and cholesterol, even in people with type 2 diabetes. I'll break down why insulin resistance develops, how inflammation, visceral fat, poor sleep, and processed foods can contribute to metabolic dysfunction, and why lowering blood sugar doesn't always mean the underlying problem has been resolved. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3855 to discover what this research reveals about carbohydrates, insulin resistance, and the role of fiber in supporting long-term metabolic health.

Episode 26-34 Reversing Insulin Resistance (and Diabetes) Without Drugs! On the past two episodes I talked about Insulin Resistance. Specifically, what it is and why it's so harmful to one's health. (If you haven't already, please give those episodes a listen.) On this episode I talk about what you can do naturally to help prevent and/or reverse Insulin Resistance and its "partner" Type 2 Diabetes. I also share an important "timeline" that lays out the progression of health issues the typical American faces as he/she ages. From simple weight gain to full blown heart disease and/or dementia, the most common ailments in this country follow a predictable timeline. Once you understand this timeline… and the CAUSES behind it… you can begin to take steps to prevent and/or reverse the associated conditions. Steps I lay out on this episode. Give this episode a good listen if you want to prevent, and possibly reverse, Insulin Resistance and the negative health consequences that come with it… including Type 2 Diabetes. And, as always, be sure to share this episode with a friend. Thanks! ———————- Want to learn more?

Holistic, biological, functional — is there actually a difference, or is it all just marketing?Are root canals really dangerous — or is that just what the algorithm keeps showing your patients?When a patient wants their sound fillings out, do you test, reassure, or drill?And how do you bring sleep, diet and blood tests into a dental appointment without it stopping being dentistry?This episode sits down with Dr James Goolnik (https://uk.linkedin.com/in/james-goolnik)— clinical dentist, founder of the London holistic practice Optimal Dental Health, past President of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and one of Jaz's earliest mentors. James openly calls himself a holistic and biological dentist, which makes him the ideal person to separate the thoughtful, evidence-aware end of this world from the online extremism that gives it a bad name. Expect a balanced, honest conversation: some of it you'll adopt tomorrow, some of it you'll want to pressure-test — which is exactly the point.Protrusive Dental Pearl: Dentistry Isn't Just About Fixing TeethThis one isn't a clinical tip — it's a sentiment that frames the whole episode. Dentistry isn't just about fixing teeth; it's about improving health. You don't have to agree with every claim made in biological dentistry — but you will struggle to disagree that a patient's diet, sleep, breathing, stress and inflammation all influence oral health.So the pearl is simple: stay curious, stay open-minded — but stay critical, and never stop asking better questions.What You'll Take From This EpisodeThe holistic–biological spectrum — what each word actually means, and where thoughtful practice tips into online extremism.Test or reassure? — the three-question filter for deciding whether any test earns its place before you order it.Safe amalgam removal — the SMART protocol, and when a worried patient's sound filling should be left well alone.The mouth-body connection — how sleep, glucose control and systemic inflammation affect the mouth, and where to refer.The balanced take on root canals and implants — whether root canals are dangerous, and titanium versus ceramic with metal-allergy testing.Highlights of This Episode00:00 Teaser00:59 Holistic vs Biological Dentistry: What's the Difference?05:49 Why Listening Beats Perfect Margins in Dentistry10:29 Why Patients Started to Doubt Root Canal Treatment12:09 Mercury Fillings: Should You Remove Amalgam?14:09 The SMART Protocol for Safe Amalgam Removal19:59 The Mouth-Body Connection: Sleep, Diabetes & Alzheimer's24:59 How to Build Nutrition Into a Dental Practice26:25 Midroll34:01 Sleep Tests, Glucose Monitors and Blood Tests in Practice38:21 Is Biological Dentistry Dangerous?

We're taught about what to do when blood sugar goes high or low, but almost nothing about what to do when diabetes burnout, anxiety, or fear takes over. My guest – Dr. Mark Heyman says the biggest thing holding you back with type 1 diabetes may not be your blood sugar — but the stress of managing it. Mark lives with type 1 and his new book, Live Free with T1D, offers what he calls an "operating system" for the emotional side of diabetes — practical tools for handling the uncomfortable moments without letting them make your world smaller.

Elizabeth Elder knows what it means to carry a lot as a mother. Her two oldest children were born with a rare genetic condition, and in 2021, she lost her daughter Annabelle to complications of that condition at just eleven years old. About a year later, her son Clark, her third child, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age five. For Elizabeth, who had already spent years navigating the world of medically complex parenting and had even founded a nonprofit to support other moms walking similar roads, the diagnosis felt like one more heavy thing to hold.In this episode, Elizabeth sits down with Risely's Director of Coaching, Abby Cooper, to talk honestly about T1D motherhood: the mom guilt, the pressure to get everything right, and the quiet weight of feeling like your child's numbers are a reflection of you. She shares what shifted when she joined our T1D Mom Coaching Program, from learning that you can't get an A in diabetes, to letting herself receive support for once instead of being the one who always gives it, to the community of moms who are still showing up for each other long after the program ended. It's a moving conversation about grief, grace, and finding a way to carry T1D that leaves room for you to actually live.WHAT WE COVER:Why a stomach bug with no fever was the clue that led to Clark's T1D diagnosis at 5, almost exactly one year after Elizabeth lost her daughterWhat her 5-year-old said to comfort her in the hospital, in the middle of the scariest moment of her yearThe number 1 belief that helped to reduce mom guiltWhy you can't get an A in diabetes, and the reframe that finally freed Elizabeth from treating every A1C like a report cardHow "time in happiness" became just as important as time in range, and the pediatric psychologist who introduced her to itBeing the mom who holds everyone else together, and what it took for her to finally let herself be the one supportedClark's first-ever sleepover 3.5 years after diagnosis, the exact blood sugars Elizabeth watched from home, and how she let him go anywayWHAT'S NEXT:

Hot flashes, blood sugar swings, brain fog... is it menopause, diabetes, or both?In this episode of the TCOYD Podcast, Dr. Steve Edelman is joined by renowned menopause expert Dr. Cindy Stuenkel, endocrinologist and Professor Emerita at UC San Diego, for an insightful conversation about how menopause affects women living with diabetes. Together, they explain why menopause is much more than a normal stage of aging. It's a major metabolic transition that can influence blood sugar management, insulin resistance, heart health, sleep, mood, and overall quality of life. The conversation explores what actually happens during perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause, why hormonal fluctuations can make glucose management more challenging, and how continuous glucose monitoring can help distinguish hot flashes from hypoglycemia. Dr. Edelman and Dr. Stuenkel also discuss the latest evidence on hormone replacement therapy, newer non-hormonal treatment options, the importance of protecting heart health, and practical strategies to help women navigate this stage of life with greater confidence. Whether you're living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, approaching menopause, currently experiencing it, or supporting someone who is, this episode provides practical guidance and evidence-based information to help you feel more prepared. Key TopicsWhat is perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause?How hormonal changes affect blood sugar and insulin resistanceWhy menopause can increase glucose variability in women with diabetesThe difference between hot flashes and hypoglycemiaHow continuous glucose monitoring can help during menopauseMetabolic changes that occur during the menopause transitionWhy cardiovascular risk increases after menopauseThe connection between menopause, weight gain, and abdominal fatGLP-1 medications and menopauseThe latest recommendations on hormone replacement therapyNew non-hormonal treatments for hot flashesSleep, mood, brain fog, and quality of life during menopauseHeart health strategies for women living with diabetesHow partners can better support someone going through menopauseTrusted menopause resources and when to seek medical care Subscribe for practical diabetes management tips, expert conversations, and the latest advances in diabetes care to help people living with diabetes live healthier, more confident lives. ★ Support this podcast ★

This week's Managed Care Cast episode features a conversation between The American Journal of Managed Care® and August 2026 authors Jeff Romine, PhD, and Kofi Essel, MD, MPH, about their study, "Insurance-Provided Grocery Assistance and Health Care Outcomes Among Patients With Diabetes." It examined the association between a commercial health plan's grocery assistance benefit and health care use and outcomes among members with type 2 diabetes, offering evidence in a space where prior food-as-medicine research has centered largely on Medicare and Medicaid populations. The benefit provided members between $1200 and $3000 annually, distributed across pay periods on a card usable at a range of grocery chains. Purchases excluded alcohol, tobacco, and preprepared foods, with an emphasis on fruits, vegetables, and other healthy items. Essel noted the design was a deliberate light touch, requiring no dietitian or health coach support, which he said made it more scalable than medically tailored meal programs that have driven much of the existing food as medicine literature. Romine, an economist by training, added that the appeal of studying a lighter intervention was the chance to observe how members made decisions about food and health without the more rigid structure of prior research. To evaluate the benefit, the team used a difference-in-differences design, comparing changes in utilization and clinical outcomes over time for members receiving the benefit against a control group of members with type 2 diabetes who were not eligible. Romine highlighted 3 main results: a 3.1% decrease in diabetes complications, no significant change in overall health care utilization, and improved medication adherence. He said the utilization finding was a positive surprise, since it suggested members retained access to needed care even within a narrower network. Essel pointed to a secondary finding as especially notable: the largest reduction in diabetes complications occurred among members living in lower socioeconomic areas, indicating a potential role for grocery assistance in narrowing health disparities. He emphasized that Elevance Health's approach to food as medicine considers both diet-related chronic conditions and social drivers of health such as food and nutrition insecurity, rather than treating them as separate levers. Looking ahead, Essel said future iterations of the benefit could be strengthened by tailoring groceries to individual cultural and dietary needs, adding nutrition education such as medical nutrition therapy or culinary counseling, and integrating the benefit more closely with primary care and specialist providers. "We are incredibly excited to see what we've seen here, and we can continue to build off of these learnings across the board," Essel concluded.
In today's episode, I sat down with Matt Schreiber — diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in March of 2025 with a blood sugar of 480 and an A1C of 13.1 — and walked away from this conversation genuinely inspired.Matt spent months feeling exhausted, losing weight, constantly thirsty, and running out of steam ten minutes into a workout. It took his girlfriend finally saying enough is enough and dragging him to urgent care for everything to come to a head. He walked out of the ER with a Type 1 diagnosis, a crash course in insulin, and a choice to make about how he was going to live with this condition.Eighteen months later, his A1C is 5.9. He's playing ice hockey. He completed his first 10K. And he's managing Type 1 with MDI and a CGM while continuing to train the way he always has — without letting diabetes set the boundaries for what he can and can't do.We get into what his diagnosis actually looked like, why urgent care initially gave him metformin instead of insulin, how he navigated exercise and blood sugar management as a competitive athlete, what his experience with a GLP-1 medication was like, and the three pieces of advice he'd give every person with Type 1 diabetes right now — whether they were diagnosed last week or twenty years ago.This episode is proof that you are bigger than Type 1 diabetes.

The Power Of Love Part 5 1 Corinthians 13
The Winds And Seas Obey Him Part 1 Matthew Chapter 8
This is the second week of our four-part series on the 7th-leading cause of death in the United States. In this episode, we talk about:—The difference between the Disease Care model that focuses on symptoms and Structure-Function Care which focuses on the root cause of the problem. And how those approaches should work together for best patient results. —How Eli Lilly was put on the map by developing insulin, which was a "game-changer at extending life" for those with Diabetes. And the surprising story of the natural health practitioners that were behind the development of Eli Lilly's insulin. —The important role of pharmaceuticals for treating Diabetes, as well as their side-effects. And why it is always better to treat something naturally in a Structure-Function manner if you can reduce or eliminate the body's need for medication. —The shocking percentage of the adult population who have already tried GLP-1 drugs. And how the GLP-1 drugs are causing serious side-effects, including muscle-wasting (often called "Ozempic butt" and "Ozempic face"). —How Type 1 Diabetes CAN be reversed if diagnosed early enough through regular bloodwork. And how Structure-Function Care can help patients to lessen the amount of insulin they need, which helps to extend their longevity and overall health. —Why it is so important to get your kids checked regularly to help prevent diseases like Diabetes from developing. —The Enteroviruses that are involved in the development of Diabetes. And the importance of proper Zinc and Vitamin D levels in the prevention of Diabetes.—Why Dr. Prather says that food allergies, specifically for milk and gluten, contribute to Type 1 Diabetes in children. —The vitamins, minerals, and herbals that are most helpful for Diabetes. And how Holistic Integration can test to see which supplements will work best for each patient. —Why Dr. Prather calls Homeopathy "the secret weapon" at Holistic Integration. And how it helps Diabetes in multiple ways.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com*Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast
Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about frozen vegetables. With a summer Cyclospora scare putting salad greens on trial, is the humble freezer aisle the safer, smarter choice? Jenn breaks down exactly how frozen veggies are harvested, blanched, and locked in at peak nutrition, and whether that process really does more to protect you than your fresh produce drawer. She also tackles the critics head-on: are frozen vegetables "processed," do they lose flavor and texture, and is fresh really always more nutritious? The catch is in how you cook them, and one wrong move could turn a nutrient-packed shortcut into a mushy, flavorless mistake. Jenn weighs both sides before landing on her verdict about whether frozen vegetables a permanent spot in your healthy eating routine. Like what you're hearing?

If there is ever a cure are we really CURING Type 1 Diabetes?Not in the sense of whether the technology exists yet. But in a deeper sense - if stem cells, a pancreatic transplant, or some other breakthrough meant you never had to take insulin again, have we actually cured the autoimmune condition that caused Type 1 in the first place? Or have we just found a way to work around it?Our perspectives will shock you...From there the conversation goes wide — into worldview, personal responsibility, doing your own research, and what it means to take control of your own existence when the systems around you can't always be trusted to have your best interests at heart.I hope you like it when we debate and bicker — because this one is a doozy.This is one of the most thought-provoking episodes we've ever recorded.
When it comes to healthy eating, everyone is talking about protein, but nutrition experts say there are two nutrients many of us actually need more of – healthy fats and fiber. Tune in as Registered Dietitian Marina Chaparro is here to explain why these nutrients are so important and how one simple, everyday food makes it easy to get both healthy fats and fiber – and may also be helpful if watching your weight, using a GLP-1, or managing a chronic disease like type 2 diabetes.Moments with Marianne Radio Show airs in the Southern California area on KMET1490AM & 98.1 FM, an ABC Talk News Radio Affiliate! https://www.kmet1490am.comMarina Chaparro, MPH, RDN, CDCES is a nationally recognized bilingual pediatric dietitian, diabetes educator, author, speaker, and Founder & CEO of Nutrichicos, a bilingual platform helping families raise healthy eaters with less stress and more joy.

The Nutrition Diva's Quick and Dirty Tips for Eating Well and Feeling Fabulous
876. There's no vitamin F or G. After E, we jump straight to K, and that quirk is a hint that this nutrient is more complicated than it looks. Vitamin K isn't one thing. It's a whole family of compounds -- K1, K2, MK-4, MK-7 -- that come from different sources and do completely different jobs, from blood clotting to steering calcium into your bones instead of your artery walls.In this episode, Monica untangles the confusing terminology and gets to the question listeners keep asking: does a vitamin K2 supplement actually protect your bones? She digs into what the research really shows, including a widely cited meta-analysis that lumped together two very different kinds of studies, why the prescription-strength results don't tell you much about the low-dose supplement in your cabinet, and whether the food and gut bacteria you already have might be doing the job on their own. Plus, the truth about taking vitamin K with your vitamin D.New to Nutrition Diva? Check out our special Spotify playlist for a collection of the best episodes curated by our team and Monica herself!

Our dear friends invited us to an event this weekend in LA… they are partnering with Gary Brecka to build Ultimate Longevity Centers which will bring treatments and testing that just hasn't been easily accessible before now. I believe the way we look at aging is outdated and I'm going to share the biggest take aways I got from his on stage message and chatting with him one on one. We are talking about very practical starting points and Gary Brecka's actual morning health routine. Stop waiting until something is wrong to start taking care of your body. We have been taught this idea that getting older automatically means getting weaker, having less energy, gaining weight, losing muscle, sleeping worse, becoming more anxious, needing more medications and eventually developing all of the diseases that "run in our family." Gary challenges a lot of that thinking. His message is essentially… What if we became obsessed with keeping our bodies functioning incredibly well for as long as possible? What if instead of asking, "How do I treat disease once I have it?" we asked, "How do I create a body that is incredibly difficult for disease to thrive in?" And then there's the longevity piece that completely fascinates me. Gary believes we're entering a period where medicine, AI, biological data and longevity research are going to advance so rapidly that lifespan could look radically different in the future. Maybe 120. Maybe beyond. We don't know. But what we do know is that we need to keep ourselves healthy enough NOW to benefit from whatever becomes possible later. So today's episode is about doing the things that give you the strongest, healthiest, most capable body possible. I've been listening to Gary Brecka talk about health, longevity, anxiety, genetics, sleep, sunlight, oxygen, muscle, bloodwork and what he believes is coming next in longevity science. THE BIG IDEA: YOUR HEALTH IS BUILT EVERY DAY One of my biggest takeaways from Gary is that health isn't something we deal with when there's a problem. It's something we're building every single day. Your sleep last night matters. What you do when you wake up matters. Whether you move your body matters. Whether you maintain muscle matters. Your metabolic health matters. Your stress matters. Your relationships matter. Your nutrition matters. Your environment matters. And individually, none of these things feels life-changing. But repeated for years and decades… they become your life. Gary describes his routine as simple, portable and repeatable. I LOVE that. Because the best health routine isn't the $100,000 biohacking setup. It's the one you'll actually do every day. HABIT #1: HYDRATE BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE Gary starts his morning with water and minerals. One version of his routine is a large glass of room-temperature water with mineral salt and sometimes lemon. His current routine also frequently includes mineral salt, hydrogen water and essential amino acids. Wake up and hydrate. You've just spent roughly eight hours without drinking anything. Don't make coffee your first liquid of the day. Put water next to your bathroom sink. Put it next to your coffee machine. Make it automatic. Gary likes mineral salt because sodium and other minerals participate in fluid balance and normal nerve and muscle function. HABIT #2: GET OUTSIDE FIRST THING Gary says to get outside within the first part of your morning and get natural outdoor light into your eyes. His routine generally calls for about 10 minutes outside. Morning light helps tell your brain: It's daytime. Start the clock. Light is one of the strongest environmental signals for the circadian system. Properly timed morning light can shift circadian timing earlier and increase daytime alertness. And I love thinking of sleep this way: Your good night's sleep starts in the morning. We tend to think sleep health starts when we crawl into bed. But your body has been receiving signals all day telling it when to be awake and when to prepare for sleep. HABIT #3: BREATHE ON PURPOSE Gary talks about oxygen constantly. His personal morning practice has included three rounds of deep breathing followed by breath holds. And this connects to another thing we've been talking about: Anxiety. I love the idea that when you feel anxious, you shouldn't immediately decide: "I'm an anxious person." Anxiety is a state your nervous system is experiencing. Sometimes your thoughts are driving your physiology. And sometimes your physiology can amplify anxious thoughts. Either way, changing the physical state can sometimes help change the mental state. Research on structured breathwork has found modest improvements in stress and anxiety, although it isn't a cure-all and the quality of studies varies. HABIT #4: GIVE YOUR BRAIN SILENCE Gary often combines his morning breathing with quiet, gratitude and reflection. He has described sitting quietly for around 10 minutes, looking toward the horizon or closing his eyes and thinking about gratitude. (PodScripts (https://podscripts.co/podcasts/the-ultimate-human-with-gary-brecka/246-gary-brecka-answers-googles-most-searched-questions-on-his-diet-wellness-and-lifestyle?utm_source=chatgpt.com)) Think about how different this is from what most of us do. Eyes open. Phone. Email. Instagram. News. Text messages. Stress. Other people's priorities. And we wonder why we feel overstimulated. TRY THIS: Before consuming everybody else's thoughts… Have some of your own. What am I grateful for? What matters today? Who needs me today? How do I want to feel today? What is actually important? PRACTICAL VERSION: Five minutes. That's it. No phone. No podcast. No input. Just quiet. HABIT #5: USE CONTROLLED DISCOMFORT Cold exposure is another major Brecka habit. If he has access to a cold plunge, he uses it. When traveling, he has said a cold shower works too. But I think there is a bigger lesson here than whether everybody needs to buy a cold plunge. Stop designing your entire life around comfort. Human beings are unbelievably adaptable. Exercise is stress. Heat is stress. Cold is stress. Fasting is stress. Challenging your brain is stress. The key is appropriate amounts of stress followed by recovery. HABIT #6: MOVE EARLY Gary includes movement in his morning routine. But here's what I love: It doesn't need to be a full workout. Walk. Stretch. Squat. Lift. Do yoga. Go outside. Movement tells your body: We're alive. We're using this machine today. And then keep moving after the morning is over. One exceptionally practical habit is walking after meals. Instead of finishing dinner and immediately sitting on the couch… WALK FOR 10 MINUTES. Moving skeletal muscle after eating can help the body handle glucose. You don't need workout clothes. You don't need a gym. You don't even need to sweat. Walk around your neighborhood. Walk your dog. Walk while you're on a phone call. ONE OF THE EASIEST HEALTH RULES: Eat → walk. HABIT #7: BUILD MUSCLE LIKE YOUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON IT This is where I think longevity conversations get really practical. MUSCLE IS NOT JUST ABOUT LOOKING GOOD. Maintaining muscle becomes increasingly important as we age. Resistance training is one of the most powerful non-drug strategies available for preserving and building skeletal muscle. Losing muscle eventually affects: strength balance mobility independence your ability to recover from illness your ability to do normal life You're not building your 2026 body. You're building your 2056 body. HABIT #8: PRIORITIZE PROTEIN AND REAL FOOD- avoid processed foods Gary emphasizes protein and essential amino acids because preserving lean tissue is a major part of his longevity philosophy. The research strongly supports resistance training for preserving muscle, while evidence regarding how much additional benefit comes from protein supplementation specifically is more mixed. HABIT #9: PROTECT YOUR METABOLIC HEALTH I think this deserves WAY more attention. We obsess over weight. Gary talks much more about metabolic health. There is a difference. Weight is one number. Metabolic health includes things like: blood glucose insulin sensitivity blood pressure blood lipids waist circumference fitness body composition Instead of only asking: "How much do I weigh?" Ask: "How well is my body functioning?" Someone can lose weight while losing muscle. Someone can be thin and still have poor metabolic health. PRACTICAL HABITS: Strength train. Walk. Walk after meals. Eat mostly whole foods. Get enough sleep. Maintain healthy body composition. Reduce constant snacking if it isn't serving you. Know your basic health numbers. THE GOAL ISN'T SKINNY. The goal is metabolically capable. HABIT #10: TEST… DON'T JUST GUESS This might be one of my favorite parts of Brecka's philosophy. Stop guessing about everything. If you're exhausted all the time… investigate. If you're unusually anxious… investigate. If your sleep has suddenly changed… investigate. If your energy has disappeared… investigate. If your hormones feel completely different… investigate. If you feel awful despite doing "everything right"… investigate. Don't immediately decide: "I'm getting old." "This runs in my family." "I'm just an anxious person." "My metabolism sucks." "This is just how I am." ASK BETTER QUESTIONS. Could something modifiable be contributing? sleep nutrient deficiencies thyroid function iron status medications hormones metabolic health stress alcohol caffeine environment psychological health This does NOT mean ordering every exotic test on the internet. It means becoming curious about your own biology. HABIT #11: DON'T TURN ANXIETY INTO YOUR IDENTITY This is worth repeating because I think this is such an important mental shift. Instead of: "I AM anxious." Try: "I'm experiencing anxiety." Those are very different statements. One is an identity. One is a temporary condition worth investigating. Gary's message leans heavily toward investigating biology. He talks about things like methylation pathways and MTHFR. There are legitimate genetic influences on anxiety. But anxiety is complex. Research suggests anxiety disorders arise through a combination of genetic vulnerability and environmental influences, not one single "anxiety gene." (PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15699295/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)) So I would approach it from ALL DIRECTIONS: Calm the body. Investigate the biology. Work on the thoughts. Breathwork. Sleep. Exercise. Less overstimulation. Healthy relationships. Therapy when needed. Medical evaluation when something feels physiologically off. Nutrition. Less caffeine when appropriate. Time outdoors. Don't choose between: "It's psychological." or "It's biological." It can be both. HABIT #12: GENETICS ARE INFORMATION… NOT ALWAYS DESTINY This is another Gary Brecka concept that I think is incredibly empowering when we phrase it accurately. People say: "Diabetes runs in my family." "Anxiety runs in my family." "Heart disease runs in my family." "Autoimmune disease runs in my family." And we can start thinking: Well… I guess that's coming for me too. But genetics often represent susceptibility rather than certainty. Your genes can increase risk. Your environment can increase or decrease risk. Your behaviors matter. Your metabolic health matters. Your exposures matter. Your entire biological environment matters. So instead of thinking: "My family gets this disease." Think: "I may have inherited a vulnerability. What parts of that vulnerability can I modify?" THAT is empowering. Important distinction: Some diseases absolutely are caused by inherited genetic mutations. So we should not say: "Genetic diseases aren't real." They absolutely are. The better message is: Genes can load the gun. They don't always pull the trigger. And with many complex chronic diseases, what ultimately happens involves an interaction between genetics and environment. HABIT #13: STOP THINKING OF SLEEP AS LOST PRODUCTIVITY Sleep is when your body gets to repair. And Brecka's evening routine reflects this. He emphasizes regular sleep, reducing stimulation late at night and setting up the next morning by protecting the night before. My favorite way to think about sleep: Tomorrow starts tonight. Stop trying to squeeze another hour out of your day if it destroys tomorrow. Decide when you're going to bed BEFORE you're tired. Dim things down. Get off your phone. Stop working. Let the nervous system receive a signal that the day is ending. Pick a bedtime and protect it the same way you'd protect an important meeting. NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT LIVING TO 120 The speed of advancement is changing. AI can analyze enormous amounts of biological data. Diagnostics are improving. Scientists are studying the actual biology of aging rather than treating aging purely as an unavoidable decline. Researchers are investigating cellular senescence, epigenetics, regenerative medicine and other mechanisms associated with biological aging. Gary believes these developments could eventually change human lifespan dramatically. And his argument is essentially: Stay alive and stay healthy long enough to benefit from what's coming. That hit me HARD. Because imagine being 75 in the future… But instead of arriving at 75: metabolically sick weak frail sedentary cognitively struggling carrying multiple preventable chronic illnesses You arrive: strong metabolically healthy active engaged cognitively sharp sleeping well maintaining muscle surrounded by people you love THAT is the bridge. Not: "How do I live forever today?" But: "How healthy can I be when tomorrow's medicine arrives?" DON'T JUST CHASE LIFESPAN. CHASE HEALTHSPAN. I don't want to simply exist until I'm 120. I want to LIVE. I want to: travel walk everywhere lift my suitcase play with grandchildren hike swim think clearly learn new things have great conversations have energy be independent laugh have purpose wake up excited THAT is longevity. Not adding years at the end where you can't live. Adding life to the years. WHAT SHOULD WE ACTUALLY DO RIGHT NOW? If you took this entire episode and boiled it down into a daily longevity checklist… MORNING Hydrate. Get outside. Get natural morning light. Breathe intentionally. Spend a few minutes in quiet. Think about gratitude. Move your body. Use cold exposure if you enjoy it and it's appropriate for you. Don't immediately flood your brain with stress. DURING THE DAY Eat nutrient-dense real food. Prioritize protein. Strength train consistently. Walk. Walk after meals. Stay metabolically healthy. Maintain muscle. Build meaningful relationships. Have purpose. Keep learning. Get outside. NIGHT Stop eating mindlessly late into the evening. Reduce stimulation. Get off the phone. Give yourself a predictable bedtime. Sleep. THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE Know your numbers. Do appropriate preventive screening. Investigate symptoms rather than ignoring them. Don't automatically assume something is "just aging." Don't automatically assume family history means destiny. Continue learning as science changes. Protect your muscle. Protect your metabolism. Protect your brain. Protect your relationships. Protect your sleep. THE SIMPLEST VERSION OF EVERYTHING GARY BRECKA IS SAYING 1. Get sunlight. 2. Breathe. 3. Hydrate. 4. Move. 5. Build muscle. 6. Eat real nutrient-dense food. 7. Protect your metabolism. 8. Sleep like it matters. 9. Challenge your body sometimes. 10. Investigate problems instead of simply accepting them. 11. Don't confuse genetic risk with guaranteed destiny. 12. Don't turn anxiety into your identity. 13. Build relationships and a life that gives you purpose. 14. Stay unbelievably healthy while longevity science continues advancing. And maybe most importantly… DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE SICK TO BECOME INTERESTED IN YOUR HEALTH. I learned that every single thing that gives me the best chance of being healthy at 120 also gives me a better life at 45. Getting sunlight tomorrow morning makes tomorrow better. Sleeping tonight makes tomorrow better. Building muscle makes this decade better. Eating well makes today better. Getting outside makes today better. Putting my phone down makes today better. Managing anxiety makes today better. Having people I love around me makes today better. So this isn't really an episode about trying to cheat death. It's about refusing to sleepwalk through your health. Your body is the vehicle that carries you through every single experience you're hoping to have. Every trip. Every adventure. Every business idea. Every dinner. Every workout. Every moment with your kids. Every future grandkid. Everything. So take ridiculously good care of it. And instead of looking at aging and thinking… "Well, I guess everything starts going downhill from here…" What if we thought completely differently? What if our goal was: I want to be stronger next year. Healthier next year. More metabolically healthy next year. More informed next year. More capable next year. And then do it again. And again. And again. For decades. Let's make the goal to be fully alive for as much of it as humanly possible. That's the health lesson I'm taking from Gary Brecka. Don't wait for the future of longevity medicine. Build the kind of body today that's ready for it.
Episode 26-33 Is Insulin Resistance The Greatest Threat To Your Health? Nearly EVERY chronic disease is strongly linked to Insulin Resistance. Or, stated another way… As you age, Insulin Resistance may be THE factor that causes you to suffer with one or more of the following conditions: High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Alzheimer's, Stroke, Parkinson's, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Obesity, Heart Disease, Autoimmune Disorders, Vision Problems, Kidney Failure, Neuropathy, Bipolar Disorder, Depression. On this episode I address the basics regarding Insulin Resistance. Specifically I ask 5 questions that you need to know the answers to should you desire to live a long and HEALTHY life: 1) What is Insulin Resistance? 2) Why is it so harmful? 3) What causes it? 4) How can it be corrected? 5) How do you know if you have it? Give this episode a good listen if you want to prevent, and possibly reverse, Insulin Resistance and the negative health consequences that come with it. And, as always, be sure to share this episode with a friend. Thanks! ———————- Want to learn more?
