Podcasts about Prediabetes

NBC News and TODAY contributors Dr. Natalie Azar and Joy Bauer detail a checklist for preventing and reversing prediabetes. Also, Al sits down with two restaurant critics from The New York Times to find out how many meals they eat and how they land those coveted reservations. Plus, chef Matt Abdoo shares a recipe for peach and jalapeño-glazed chicken thighs.

In this powerful episode of Hormones, Metabolism & You!, board-certified endocrinologist Dr. Cassie Smith sits down with nutrition pioneer Shana Hussin, RDN, for an open-hearted conversation about why the health trends we follow can sometimes backfire—especially when stress and burnout are involved. What You'll Hear: How fasting backfired during a season of high stress and adrenal exhaustion. The role of hormones like leptin and cortisol in regulating appetite, sleep, and metabolic balance. Why one-size-fits-all health plans fail, especially around hormone and gut health. Shana's personal pivot—from rigid fasting to listening to her body and honoring circadian rhythms. The healing power of grounding, gut support, and restoring rhythm over restriction.

James shares his powerful story of transformation on the carnivore diet. After nearly two years of commitment, he reversed prediabetes, lost 40 pounds, and eliminated chronic knee pain. In this episode, James explains: - Why modern nutrition guidelines are failing us - How an animal-based diet mirrors what our ancestors thrived on - The dangers of processed foods, despite “scientific” claims - Why you should trust your own results over conventional advice If you're struggling with weight, blood sugar, or chronic pain, this episode will inspire you to take back control of your health.

Episode 25:34 Knowing Your INSULIN Level Is As Important As Knowing Your Blood Sugar Level. Here's Why…   Most doctors, when ordering blood work for a patient, will include an A1C test. This is wise because an A1C test will reveal what a person's blood sugar has been, on average, over the previous three months. Ideally, your A1C score should be below 5.7 (my preference is for it to be 5.4 or less). A score between 5.7 and 6.4 reflects Prediabetes, while a score of 6.5 or above is considered to be Diabetic. But there's a problem with this: A person's A1C score is NOT the only indicator of blood sugar issues. Or, stated another way, a person can have a normal A1C score and still have SEVERE blood sugar issues. How? By having elevated Insulin levels! On this episode I share the story of a patient of mine whose blood sugar levels were okay… but his Insulin levels were through the roof! In fact, his Insulin levels were so high that he was, in my opinion, a walking time bomb. However, because he had his Insulin levels tested… something MOST doctors don't do… we were able to identify this problem and address it accordingly. Be sure to give this episode a good listen as understanding the role of Insulin, and the importance of having it tested, is critically important for anyone who cares about their health.  And, as always, please share it with a friend.

She shares her personal journey from being a lifelong “winter hater” to embracing cold and darkness for their unique healing effects. Danielle explains how cold exposure, seasonal darkness, and brown fat activation can mimic many of the same benefits as summer sunlight, from improving insulin sensitivity to lowering inflammation. Listeners will learn how to work with the seasons, not against them, and why leaning into winter can become a powerful tool for metabolic repair.TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODEHow the loss of UVB light above 33° latitude affects vitamin D levels and metabolic functionWhy people with darker skin living in higher latitudes may need year-round UVB supportThe role of darkness in triggering pineal and mitochondrial melatonin for cellular repair and hormone balanceHow cold exposure boosts adiponectin, improves glucose uptake without insulin, and increases mitochondrial biogenesisThe science of brown adipose tissue (brown fat) and its impact on thyroid health, fat burning, and blood sugar regulationWhy seasonal shifts in temperature and light help balance leptin, thyroid function, and gut healthHow winter “catabolic” repair processes complement summer “anabolic” building phasesDanielle's personal experiments with “cold girl walks” and why gradual exposure works better than extreme plunges for beginnersTips for working with your climate to mimic winter benefits even in warmer locationsHow embracing seasonal rhythms can prevent winter weight gain and support long-term metabolic resilienceIntroduction to SunSense UV Bead Bracelets and Lizards as tools to track UV exposure and optimize safe sun practices year-roundSTAY IN TOUCH WITH ME:You can find me:On Instagram @daniellehamiltonhealth On Facebook at Danielle Hamilton Health.My website is daniellehamiltonhealth.com (scroll down to sign up for my Newsletter!)On my YouTube Channel (make sure you subscribe!)

They discuss markers like A1C, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and how these impact risks for conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. Dr. Maurer shares his personal journey of reversing prediabetes and provides actionable insights on diet, exercise, and maintaining a balance between endurance and weight training to optimize health. The conversation then shifts to Dr. Maurer's approach to his Parkinson's diagnosis. With a focus on information, community, and proactive measures, he details how he has adapted his lifestyle to slow the progression of this neurodegenerative disease. Hope you enjoy.

Episode Description: In today's episode (originally recorded as an Instagram Live), I'm answering some of your most pressing questions about insulin resistance and the buzz around GLP-1 medications—through the lens of real healing, root cause solutions, and God's design for the body. We're talking about: Why you might still have insulin resistance even if your labs look “normal” What actually happens when insulin is high—even if your blood sugar isn't How long it takes to reverse insulin resistance (and what most people get wrong) Why some people struggle with insulin resistance even when they're not overweight What GLP-1 is, and why it affects hunger and fat loss How to naturally support GLP-1 function without meds What happens when you stop taking medications like Ozempic or Mounjaro And the truth about whether GLP-1 meds fix root issues or just mask symptoms Plus: I'm sharing the exact free resources and tools I use with clients to naturally support insulin, blood sugar, and hormone balance—without gimmicks or restriction.

In this episode, Dr Jedha speaks with Jeanette, a dedicated member who shares her journey of overcoming confusion and transforming her prediabetes health. With a strong family history of diabetes, Jeanette believed she was managing well until her fasting blood sugars began to rise and she discovered, almost by accident, that she was prediabetic. This sparked a turning point where she decided it was time to take action.Jeanette opens up about the overwhelm of conflicting advice online, how using a continuous glucose monitor revealed the true impact of her food choices, and why finding a supportive, evidence-based program made all the difference. Her commitment has led to prediabetes remission, with nearly 27 pounds lost (12kg), an A1c drop from 5.7 to 5.4, significant cholesterol improvements, and a renewed energy and enjoyment for life.Jeanette's experience is a reminder that small, consistent steps can lead to meaningful health improvements and a much brighter future. If you want to experience this powerful change to your health, join the Prediabetes Reset Program: https://diabetesmealplans.com/prediabetes-reset-program/For show notes and resources, please visit: https://Type2DiabetesTalk.comTo share your questions and suggestions, leave us a voice message or email at: https://Type2DiabetesTalk.com/messageExplore our proven programs and services, visit: https://Type2DiabetesTalk.com/programsSubscribe to our free weekly newsletter for podcast updates, valuable nutrition tips and more: https://Type2DiabetesTalk.com/subscribe

Cut carbs, avoid bread, ditch fruit. But groundbreaking research reveals this approach might be keeping you stuck in a cycle of restriction without addressing the real problem.Insulin resistance isn't a carbohydrate problem.

Welcome to *Ketobiography* — formerly *Less of Me Success Stories*. In this transformative episode, we're joined by **Denitra Davis**, a powerhouse coach, advocate, and educator in the low-carb space. Through her personal battle with lupus, eczema, pre-diabetes, gout, and fatigue, Denitra found radical healing by removing sugar and shifting toward a ketogenic and carnivore lifestyle.From childhood sugar addiction to a failed attempt at plant-based living, Denitra exposes the hidden dangers of “healthy” foods, the broken medical advice system, and how real nutrition saved her life. Now a certified coach with the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners and the Nutrition Network, she empowers others to take back their health — one label, one lab, and one meal at a time.This is more than a keto journey.

In this raw and deeply personal episode of Optimal Metabolism, I'm opening up about something far beyond food, fasting, or hormones: my spiritual transformation. Over the past several years, I've experienced tremendous success—and tremendous loss. What started as a nutrition therapy business rooted in service began to feel more like striving. I found myself chasing downloads, metrics, and content calendars… and losing sight of who I was really called to be. ✨ In this episode, I share: Why I stepped away from social media and podcasting for a season How I realized I was idolizing my business The power of obedience and stillness when life feels out of control What God is showing me about rest, identity, and true healing How I'm rebuilding my work around Him—not around hustle This is a heartfelt invitation to pause, reflect, and consider whether you're prioritizing spiritual health as much as physical. ✅ Key Topics Covered The unspoken pressure behind business success in the health world Recognizing when social media becomes spiritual distraction How stepping away brought clarity to your faith and family What it means to trust God with your business and your purpose Encouragement for others stuck in the cycle of “doing more” Want to connect with me personally or share your story?

In this eye-opening episode of The Period Whisperer, I sit down with Wendy Lopez, MS, RDN, CDCES, a leading Registered Dietitian and the co-founder of Food Heaven, to tackle a topic that impacts so many women in perimenopause: blood sugar and insulin resistance. Wendy is passionate about making nutrition accessible, and in this conversation, we dive deep into how hormonal shifts during perimenopause can affect blood sugar and insulin sensitivity.What you will learn:

Are you one of the millions of Americans who eat the Standard American Diet? Even if you're not, you're likely at risk of developing pre-diabeties, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation. But, DON'T panic, because today's episode is packed with simple steps to help you take control of your blood sugar and lower your risk of diabetes and chronic disease.On this Salad with a Side of Fries episode, host Jenn Trepeck tackles the hard truth: many people are already pre-diabetic and don't even know it. From hidden insulin resistance to chronic inflammation, Jenn breaks down how the American diet and lifestyle are fueling a national health crisis. You'll learn how poor sleep, stress, a lack of fiber, and nutrient-depleted foods undermine your metabolic health—and what you can do today to take control and manage your risks. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE:(00:00) Why is the Standard American diet the recipe for pre-diabetes and diabetes, and what is insulin resistance(04:18) Metabolic health connects to every system, and the ultra-processed food dilemma(09:48) Why supplements are important(14:30) Everyone is pre-diabetic, unless. Nutrition: protein, fiber, quality fat(21:31) America's fiber problem and the role of the microbiome(26:55) Our society is sedentary(30:35) The impact stress and loneliness can have on your health(34:56) Are you sleep deprived(37:30) Let's talk about the environment and toxins(42:07) If you don't like it, don't eat it and focus on preventionKEY TAKEAWAYS:Most people eating the Standard American Diet are already pre-diabetic due to high consumption of ultra-processed foods, even if their labs don't reflect it yet. Modern farming, soil depletion, and long-distance transport have stripped our food of nutrients, making quality sourcing and supplementation essential.Staying ahead of metabolic disease means taking daily action—moving your body, managing stress, eating well, sleeping, and staying connected.  Even a short walk after a meal can significantly reduce blood sugar spikes. Daily activity improves energy and focus, builds muscle, enhances insulin sensitivity, and monitors glucose levels.Just because a drink is labeled “prebiotic” doesn't mean it replaces real vegetables. Whole fruits and vegetables provide a variety of fibers that support gut health more effectively than most supplements or processed drinks. You can't supplement your way out of poor nutrition. Supplements are only as good as their quality. Many synthetic options don't break down or absorb adequately, making them useless. Food first, then smart supplementation.Chronic stress triggers hormonal changes that lead to insulin resistance and fat storage. The damage builds over time because most people don't recognize their stress. Managing stress is just as crucial as managing diet and exercise.QUOTES:         (08:56) “Our food supply is ripening while in transit, not connected to the vine where nutrients come from.” - Jenn Trepeck(18:54) “Variety is your friend. Eat the rainbow.” - Jenn Trepeck(23:30) “I'm a big fan of supplements, but you cannot supplement your way out of poor nutrition. Food first, then mart supplementation.” - Jenn Trepeck(39:36) “Next time you need to replace a mattress or a pillow. Let's make sure it's a material that isn't going to off-gas toxins.” - Jenn Trepeck"It comes down to default vs design because the way our world is set-up around us, the default would easily be the recipe for pre-diabetes and diabetes. That's why we're here...unless you do this now." - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramMovember: Men's HealthReal People, Real Results: Shannon Nutrition Nugget: Ultra-Processed FoodGMO, Organic, and Local, Oh My!How to Cheat8 Domains of HealthAmerica's Fiber ProblemQ & A: SupplementsTick…Tick…BOOM

TODAY'S GUESTAs a college athlete, supposedly at the pinnacle of health, Carrie began suffering chronic joint issues and insomnia. After her first child was born, she developed debilitating stomach pain, adrenal fatigue, and brain fog. Armed with a BS in Biology, an MS in Nutrition, and certifications as a personal trainer, massage therapist, and breathing coach, she still couldn't find the root of her issues. That's when she found quantum biology. Now, as an online educator, clinician, and faculty member of the Quantum Biology Collective, Carrie's mission is to teach her clients how to create a healing environment by applying quantum health strategies around light, water, electrons, and mitochondrial support. Given these tools, clients who have spent years trying to improve their health—just as Carrie did—finally experience powerful healing and lasting benefits.Join us at the Return to Nature 2025: A 2-Day Quatnum Health Retreat!
