Podcasts about Type 2 diabetes

Type 2 diabetes management is influenced not only by diet and medication but also by environmental factors, including the type and timing of light exposure during typical indoor workdays A Cell Metabolism study found that participants exposed to natural daylight spent more time within a healthy glucose range than those exposed to standard office lighting Daylight supports circadian alignment by strengthening communication between the brain's master clock and peripheral clocks in organs that control insulin sensitivity, glucose uptake, and energy metabolism Natural daylight also shifted how the body used energy and improved metabolic flexibility, which plays an important role in long-term insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation Simple changes like getting morning light, taking outdoor midday breaks, sitting near windows, and keeping a consistent sleep schedule can help restore circadian rhythm and support glucose stability

Novo Nordisk's new drug CagriSema has outperformed Ozempic in a recent Phase III trial for type 2 diabetes patients, according to Clinical Trials Arena. In the REIMAGINE 2 study, CagriSema reduced HbA1c levels by 1.91 percentage points and achieved 14.2 percent weight loss after 68 weeks, compared to 1.76 percentage points and 10.2 percent with Ozempic. No weight loss plateau occurred with CagriSema, and 43 percent of patients lost at least 15 percent of their body weight. Martin Holst Lange, Novo Nordisk's executive vice president and chief scientific officer, stated that combining semaglutide and cagrilintide delivers superior blood glucose control and weight reduction.Researchers are urging a more holistic approach to weight loss amid the Ozempic era, as reported by Medical Xpress on February 3. Experts like Martin Binks and Raedeh Basiri from George Mason University note that GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic cause rapid weight loss but can lead to nutrient deficiencies, muscle loss, and struggles without proper nutrition, exercise, and psychological support. Many patients receive only prescriptions without multidisciplinary care, and access remains limited by cost and insurance gaps. Binks predicts broader availability with upcoming pill forms.A study highlighted by Science Daily on January 29 warns of rapid weight regain after stopping drugs like Ozempic, with people regaining about 0.4 kilograms per month, often faster than with diet and exercise alone. Heart health and diabetes risk improvements also reverse quickly, emphasizing the need for long-term strategies beyond medication.Oprah Winfrey has shared her experiences with GLP-1 medications, similar to Ozempic, in recent interviews covered by AOL and other outlets. At 71, she regrets not using them sooner, saying they silenced the food noise in her head and helped her view obesity as a disease, not a personal failure. She gained 20 pounds after stopping briefly but now sees these drugs as a lifelong tool, like blood pressure medication, and encourages others without shame.These developments show evolving options and cautions in weight loss treatments.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Will: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you for giving us the opportunity to ask you questions. I've learned so much from other people's questions! I have two of my own. 1. Regarding your past podcast on the importance of broccoli and garlic. I travel a lot for work. When I travel and can't get broccoli or garlic, would it be ok to take a broccoli and garlic supplement. ? 2. I recently purchased the equililife mushroom supplement. Do you recommend taking it all year round or just in the winter. Thanks so much! Will   Carol: Dr Cabral, I would like to start by thanking you for all the information you freely give. I've been listening to your podcast almost since it started and I have been able to make positive changes in my life and my family's. I am a healthy, active 62 year old woman. I walk 5 to 10 miles most days. I do strength training 3 to 5 times a week plus cardio a couple days a week. Through diet and exercise I have been able to maintain my weight most of my adult life. If my weight started to go up I would make adjustments in my diet (which was usually from getting sloppy with my diet). Since 2017 I've done your detox at least 3 times a year (I just haven't been able to swing 4), and they usually help me lose the few pounds I gained and put me back on track with my eating. For the last few years, however, my weight has been creeping up higher and nothing (not even the detoxes) have helped me lose the added weight. I've tried everything I could think of, but my weight continues to go up instead of down. I went through menopause 10 years ago. I'm at a loss at what to do, but I definitely don't want to continue to gain weight. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you, Carol                                                                                                                                                                                  Mohamed: Good morning to you Doctor Cabral and all the listeners. Grateful for all that you do. My question is regarding a sort of pinch like feeling on my left side (near heart). On and off randomly.. did blood work and EKG (normal findings). Ran minerals and Metals.. on the higher side for K & N.. Mg green and Calcium (leaning towards high). Other minerals were low, except phosphorus (slightly high) Noticing bloating after meals.. could leaky gut be related to the occasional pinch feeling I get… it's either that or cortisol.. Which lab should I run (can only do 1).. Taking Omega3 support, DNS, Magnesium and exercising twice a week.. I'm a 27 year old man. Noticing new onset fatigue, bloating.. A bit worried about my heart.. thanks.. What can help, proteolytic enzymes, Apple cider Vinegar before meals. Or B vitamins. Thoughts?    Cheryl: Morning, My 73 year old dad has type 2 diabetes. He is otherwise in good health, an active golfer, is about 165lbs and walks daily. My parents are old school and believe everything the dr says. Recently, his dr just uped his metformin to 2x a day from 1x and put him on a pill for his A1C. I am annoyed that the meds are just increased instead of looking at the root cause. They recently saw a dietician who said it is not reversable which I know is not at all true. My mom cooks healthy meals but my dad does have a sweet tooth. When he wants something sweet it is often sugar/free which is terrible and full of chemicals. I do not agree with all of the sugar free stuff/sweetners and try go get them to choose different things-monkfruit/coconut sugar but the dietician recommended the splenda type stuff. would love to help my dad reverse this. Any suggestions where to start would be appreciated. Thank you:)    Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you for the amazing work that you do! My 80 year old mother has been experiencing consistent burning mouth syndrome for the past 12 years. She had tried all the conventional methods, gabapentin, CT scan etc and nothing has helped. I recently read that the drop in estrogen during menopause could be the cause. What do you think and any recommendations?

What exactly is inflammation, and how do you know if it's affecting your health? In this episode, Dr. Steve Edelman and Dr. Jeremy Pettus sit down with Dr. Jennie Luna, an endocrinologist specializing in obesity medicine and nutrition, to demystify inflammation and its connection to diabetes and metabolic health.Together, they explore the difference between acute and chronic inflammation, why chronic inflammation often goes unnoticed despite affecting nearly every organ system, and how it drives conditions like insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, and chronic kidney disease. Dr. Luna breaks down the warning signs—fatigue, brain fog, difficulty sleeping, and weight gain—and explains why these symptoms are so easy to miss.The conversation shifts to actionable strategies you can implement today. From anti-inflammatory eating patterns and time-restricted eating to managing stress and prioritizing sleep, this episode focuses on practical, realistic changes that don't require perfection or meal prep mastery.Key TopicsUnderstanding Inflammation: The difference between acute and chronic inflammation and why chronic inflammation silently impacts metabolic health.Signs You Might Be Inflamed: Recognizing vague symptoms like fatigue, mental fog, and disrupted sleep that often go undiagnosed.Inflammation and Diabetes: How insulin resistance, high blood sugar, and inflammation create a vicious cycle—and how to break it.Anti-Inflammatory Eating Made Simple: Practical food strategies including protein-first meals, time-window eating, and budget-friendly swaps.The Fast Food Reality: Honest talk about convenience eating and how to make better choices when time is tight.Beyond Diet: Why sleep quality, stress management, and even 10-minute post-meal walks have powerful anti-inflammatory effects.GLP-1s and Inflammation: Emerging research showing these medications may reduce inflammation independent of weight loss.The Bottom Line: Why small, sustainable changes—not perfection—are the key to reducing inflammation and improving overall health. ★ Support this podcast ★

The crime is not having type 2 diabetes. The crime is that conventional forces in healthcare essentially turn a blind eye to all the ways available to NOT be a type 2 diabetic. Pharmaceutical executives throw lavish parties to celebrate the huge revenues that derive from diabetes drugs that now include the awful GLP-1 agonists, while almost no one in healthcare shows people how to not be diabetic--THAT's the crime. Support the showYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamDavisMD Blog: WilliamDavisMD.com Membership website for two-way Zoom group meetings: InnerCircle.DrDavisInfiniteHealth.com Books: Super Gut: The 4-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health; revised & expanded ed

For some people, diabetes can be very hard to control, even with the standard glucose-lowering therapies. Several studies have demonstrated that endogenous hypercortisolism is prevalent among these individuals. What’s the relationship between type 2 diabetes and hypercortisolism, and what do health care providers need to know about that relationship? To help answer those questions, host Aaron Lohr talks with two guests. Vivian A. Fonseca, MD, is a professor of medicine, assistant dean for clinical research, the Tullis-Tulane Alumni Chair in Diabetes, and chief of the section of endocrinology at Tulane University Medical Center in New Orleans. James W. Findling, MD, is a professor of medicine and surgery at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Drs. Fonseca and Findling are authors of an article published in the journal Diabetes Care looking at the CATALYST study: “Inadequately Controlled Type 2 Diabetes and Hypercortisolism: Improved Glycemia With Mifepristone Treatment.” This episode is made possible by support from Corcept Therapeutics Inc.

Are GLP-1 medications truly revolutionizing medicine—or are we just seeing the latest healthcare hype cycle?In this part 1 of 2- part episode of Succeed In Medicine Podcast, Dr. Bradley Block sits down with Dr. Sean Wharton, to explore the real story behind GLP-1 agonists, how they were discovered, how they work, and why they suddenly became cultural blockbusters. Dr. Wharton explains that while the public sees these drugs as new, clinicians in diabetes care have been using them for over a decade. Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 medications revealed an unexpected benefit: meaningful weight loss. What began as a “sleeper drug” for glucose control became a global phenomenon once their impact on appetite and cravings was understood.A major theme of the discussion is the concept of “food noise”—the relentless mental pull toward food that many patients experience. Dr. Wharton describes how this biological drive makes long-term weight loss extraordinarily difficult and why willpower alone is rarely enough. GLP-1 medications work by quieting this food noise, helping patients regain control over their eating behaviors.The conversation also tackles tough questions clinicians and patients ask every day:Why do people need to stay on these medications long-term? Why do patients with diabetes lose less weight than those without? Is obesity truly a disease, and how should doctors talk about it? Are the benefits due to the drug itself or simply the weight loss? Dr. Wharton breaks down the biology of GLP-1 hormones, their role in insulin regulation and appetite control, and why these drugs have been such rare “unicorns” in medicine, highly effective with relatively few side effects.This episode sets the stage for Part 2, where they will dive deeper into myths, side effects, and practical prescribing guidance.Three Actionable TakeawaysObesity Is a Biological Disease, Not a Willpower Problem: Food noise and cravings are driven by hormones and brain chemistry. GLP-1 medications treat these biological mechanisms, not a character flaw.Long-Term Treatment Is Often Necessary: Just like medications for blood pressure or cholesterol, GLP-1 drugs address a chronic condition. Stopping treatment usually means the underlying biology—and weight—returns.Language Matters in Patient Care: Clinicians should approach weight with empathy and humility. Inviting patients into a respectful conversation about options is far more effective than blaming or shaming.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!About the Guest:Dr. Sean Wharton holds doctorates in Pharmacy and Medicine from the University of Toronto.

Health Canada approved the first glucagon-like peptide one daily pill, Rybelsus, on Monday for adults with type two diabetes who face high risks of heart disease. This semaglutide pill, made by the same company behind injectable Ozempic and Wegovy, aims to improve blood sugar levels alongside diet and exercise while cutting chances of heart attacks, strokes, or death from cardiovascular events. Company trials with over nine thousand six hundred fifty patients showed it lowered those risks compared to a placebo. Unlike prior GLP one drugs in Canada, all injectables until now, this offers a convenient oral option, though experts note it may need higher doses since stomach acids break down some of the peptide, making injections potentially more effective for weight loss.Recent studies highlight challenges with these medications. A review in the British Medical Journal, published this week, analyzed sixty-three trials involving more than nine thousand people and found users regain weight at about zero point four kilograms per month after stopping GLP one drugs, with heart benefits vanishing too. In the United States, the food and drug administration approved an oral Wegovy pill last month, now available for around one hundred forty-nine United States dollars monthly through places like Amazon Pharmacy.Oprah Winfrey, seventy-one, shared candid thoughts on GLP one medications this week during appearances on CBS Sunday Morning and The View. She called them a vital tool for managing obesity, a disease she now views without shame or self-blame. Winfrey said the constant food noise in her mind vanished hours after her first dose, freeing her from obsession despite still enjoying food. She regrets not discovering them in two thousand thirteen, lamenting wasted years of sadness, and admitted gaining twenty pounds in a year after stopping to test her willpower, proving to her it is a lifelong need like blood pressure medicine. Promoting her new book with doctor Ania Jastreboff, she stressed obesity causes overeating, not the reverse, and urged ending blame, even covering costs for friends who cannot afford it.Analysts at Jefferies noted on January twelfth that widespread use of weight loss drugs like Ozempic could save major United States airlines up to five hundred eighty million dollars in fuel this year, as lighter passengers cut jet fuel needs by up to one point five percent. In Canada, semaglutide patents expired this month, paving the way for cheaper generics to boost access.Thanks for tuning in, listeners, please subscribe, come back next week for more, and remember this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.

If you have ever struggled with your weight, low energy, pre-diabetes or even type 2 diabetes, this is a conversation that could change your life. Dr David Unwin is an NHS GP who not only put his own type 2 diabetes into drug free remission, he has also helped over 150 patients do the same in a standard UK general practice – with ordinary people, on ordinary budgets, using food and lifestyle. It's estimated that around 7/8ths of the adult population are metabolically unhealthy, which means that only a tiny minority of us are truly metabolically well. And this is a serious issue because poor metabolic health is one of the root cause drivers of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, strokes, Alzheimer's and many forms of cancer. In fact, this is one of the main reasons why I co-founded Do Health https://drchatterjee.com/do-health/ - a personalised health companion, powered by your individual biology and lifestyle - as a way of helping people improve their metabolic health early, well before they get sick in the future. In this week's episode, we cover: The early signs of poor metabolic health, and why symptoms like fatigue, belly fat and brain fog are often overlooked. Why many issues we see as ‘normal ageing' are actually signs of insulin resistance. How David himself reversed his own type 2 diabetes and, at the same time, improved his mood, energy and cognition. How reducing starchy carbohydrates if you have metabolic dys-regulation can dramatically improve blood sugar control Why so many of us struggle with bread, pasta, and ultra processed foods – and how food addiction may be silently driving our behaviour. The two women who helped David rethink everything he thought he knew about food, hope and healing And why it's never too late to work on your metabolic health and why doing so can change every aspect of your life. One of the things I love most about David is his passion. He really is someone who genuinely wants to improve the health and lives of his patients and our hope is this conversation empowers you to make small changes that will improve your blood sugar, weight, energy, and ultimately, your future.   Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

Can you be lean and metabolically unfit? Can you be overweight and metabolically healthy? Most of the world's type 2 diabetics are lean. Weight is not the issue. It's a distraction from what actually matters: metabolic fitness. Dr. Betty Murray sits down with Dr. Beverly Yates ND to shatter the myths about metabolic health, weight, and diabetes, especially for women over 40. In this conversation, Dr. Yates reveals the silent signs of pre-diabetes most doctors miss, why the "eat less, exercise more" advice fails women after menopause, and the five steps of the Yates Protocol that helped women reverse type 2 diabetes after 25+ years, without deprivation or restriction. What We Cover: ●     Weight is not the issue, it's a symptom: Most type 2 diabetics worldwide are lean (not overweight), you can be lean and metabolically unfit OR overweight and metabolically healthy, doctors blame weight instead of looking at actual metabolic markers ●     The silent signs of pre-diabetes ●     Objective markers that actually matter: Hemoglobin A1C, fasting blood sugar, fasting insulin, C-peptide ●     Why BMI is useless ●     Menopause changes everything metabolically: Loss of estrogen = increased visceral fat + insulin resistance (even with same diet/exercise), women have more microvascular disease than men, hot flashes linked to hyperdensities in brain (vascular damage) ●     Why lean people don't get diagnosed: Doctors assume "you're skinny, you're fine" without checking A1C/fasting insulin/C-peptide, visceral fat can be invisible (not always "beer belly"), third of teenagers now have pre-diabetes ●     The taste bud reset: Taste buds turn over every 10-14 days, they talk to brain about calories, diet sodas/artificial sweeteners trick brain → causes snacking 1-1.5 hours later PLUS, The 5 Steps of the Yates Protocol: (1) Nutrition, (2) Meal timing, (3) Stress management, (4) Sleep, (5) Exercise with emphasis on strength training. This episode is for women over 40 navigating menopause, anyone told to "just lose weight" by their doctor, pre-diabetics looking for real solutions, or anyone who wants to understand what metabolic fitness actually means. ✨ Watch now and discover why the strategies that worked at 30 don't work at 50, and what actually does.   Connect with Dr. Beverly Yates ND: Book: The Yates Protocol (Pre-Order NOW) Website: https://drbeverlyyates.com/the-yates-protocol-book/ Pre-Order Bonus: Upload receipt for undisclosed chapter not in book   Connect with Dr. Betty Murray: ●     Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ ●     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray/ Links: ●     The Fierce Female Method for Longevity (Dr. Betty's book) https://fierce.hormoneshelp.com/ ●     Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/ ●     FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec ●     Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/ ●     Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/   More from the Podcast: Subscribe to #MenopauseMastery for weekly episodes on women's health, hormones, and functional medicine → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwONPdSvb2-YYY74VhD-XBw Listen on Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/menopause-mastery/id1607369247 Listen on Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/0tNsjm32CZNXSgSFEwS3uH Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.

Unmasking Hidden Sugars in 'Healthy' Drinks: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, examines the surprising amounts of sugar found in commonly perceived 'healthy' drinks. She discusses how beverages like energy drinks, fruit smoothies, and chai lattes can exceed the daily recommended sugar intake, based on a study by Ben's Natural Health. Leyla warns that even health-focused products and homemade drinks can contain high sugar levels, which can impact weight, blood sugar levels, and overall health. She emphasizes the importance of being an 'ingredient sleuth' and making informed choices. 

Robert Jacks, President and CEO of Sparrow Pharmaceuticals, identifies that an elevated cortisol level is a newly recognized cause of treatment-resistant type 2 diabetes. A significant portion of patients with diabetes who do not respond to standard treatments, including GLP-1 agonists, have underlying high cortisol. Sparrow has developed a drug designed to lower cortisol levels inside cells, directly addressing the underlying driver of the disease, and to be used as a complement to existing treatments. This concept of targeting cortisol-driven resistance could be extended to other conditions, such as treatment-resistant hypertension. Robert explains, "I feel as though Sparrow has come full circle, actually, with the mechanism of our drug. Originally, we have a drug that targets HSD-1. We can talk about what that is, but it's involved in intracellular cortisol regulation. This was a class of drugs that was originally developed targeting cardiometabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes. And the drugs had some moderate efficacy, but they weren't well differentiated in a broad population and largely were just discontinued for commercial reasons." "Our company was founded a number of years ago based on the idea that these drugs had real potential but hadn't been used in the right patient population. And that being the patient population with the disease that we know is driven by excess cortisol toxicity, because that's aligned with the mechanism, as I was mentioning. So we generated some really interesting data in a rare disease called Endogenous Cushing syndrome. This is a very severe orphan disease with patients who have very severely elevated cortisol, showing in fact that yes, this mechanism does seem like it could have a very major impact in the right patient population." "Simultaneously, another company published some data showing that actually there's a very large population of people with treatment-resistant type 2 diabetes, a very high level of medical need, and that their underlying disease actually is being driven by elevated levels of cortisol. And so when you bring together the data that we generated and what appears to be a large amount needed in a large population, it seems like we may have the perfect solution for that. So we've refocused our efforts on a broad population of treatment-resistant type 2 diabetes in patients whose disease is being impacted or driven by elevated cortisol levels."  #SparrowPharmaceuticals #Type2Diabetes #CardiometabolicDisease #CortisolRegulation #Cortisol #GLP1 #RareDisease sparrowpharma.com Download the transcript here

Continuous glucose monitoring didn't start as sleek apps and tiny sensors — it began with chunky receivers, short wear times, and a lot of skepticism. In this episode, Dr. Jeremy Pettus and Dr. Steve Edelman sit down with Dexcom CEO and original sensor engineer Jake Leach to trace the evolution of CGM from those early “Tylenol-shaped” receivers and repurposed pagers to today's G7 system and beyond.They walk through the major turning points: abandoning long-term implants for subcutaneous sensors, proving that real-time CGM meaningfully improves time in range and safety, and pushing back against old-school thinking that insisted patients shouldn't see their own data. From STS 3-Day to Seven Plus, G4, G5, G6, and now G7, Dr. Edelman, Dr. Pettus, and Jake Leach break down what each generation added — better accuracy, easier insertion, smartphone and cloud connectivity, and integration with pumps and AID systems.Most importantly, Dr. Edelman, Dr. Pettus, and Dexcom CEO Jake Leach, focus on what's coming next and what it means for people living with diabetes today: the 15 day Dexcom G7 sensor, Smart Basal insulin titration for people with type 2 diabetes, AI-powered food logging, and the upcoming G8 platform designed to measure multiple analytes (glucose plus ketones and more) — all while pushing toward broader access and affordability.Key TopicsEarly Dexcom Days & STS 3-Day: How Dexcom pivoted from implantable sensors to disposable subcutaneous CGMs and what the earliest systems were really like.Blinded vs Real-Time CGM: The ethics debate, safety implications, and studies proving real-time data improves time in range and reduces hypoglycemia.Seven Plus, G4 & G5: Major accuracy improvements, longer wear times, and the move to smartphone-based monitoring.G6 & Auto-Applicators: Eliminating mandatory calibrations and making sensor insertion faster and easier.G7 Wins & Growing Pains: Reduced size, faster warm-up, early reliability challenges, and how Dexcom addressed manufacturing and support issues.15-Day Wear & Smart Basal: Extended wear life and CGM-guided basal insulin titration for type 2 diabetes.G8 & Multi-Analyte Sensing: A preview of Dexcom's next-generation platform measuring glucose plus ketones and other markers.AI Food Logging & Smarter Care: Photo-based meal tracking and pairing nutrition data with glucose trends.Access & Affordability: Expanding CGM access globally and using data to reshape how diabetes care is delivered. ★ Support this podcast ★

Dr. Michael Snyder joins Dr. Forbes to discuss research showing that Type 2 diabetes represents multiple metabolic subtypes rather than a single condition. He explains how glucose curve patterns, oral glucose tolerance testing, and continuous monitoring can help identify differences in muscle insulin resistance, beta-cell function, hepatic signaling, and incretin response. The conversation explores how these physiological patterns may guide individualized nutrition strategies, medication selection, and earlier detection in people with emerging dysregulation.

Sepsis is a life-threatening overreaction of your immune system to infection, causing widespread inflammation and organ failure when not treated quickly A large Australian study found people with Type 2 diabetes were twice as likely to develop sepsis, with the highest risk seen in men, smokers, and younger adults aged 41 to 50 Chronic high blood sugar and insulin resistance weaken immune defenses, impairing white blood cell function, slowing wound healing, and allowing common infections like urinary or skin infections to escalate into sepsis Managing diabetes through blood sugar control, physical activity, sunlight exposure, and eliminating vegetable oils and refined sugar restores insulin sensitivity and lowers the likelihood of severe infection You can further reduce infection and sepsis risk by maintaining wound hygiene, treating infections promptly, eating nutrient-rich foods, managing chronic conditions, and avoiding habits like nail-biting

Nutrient Deficiencies and Their Link to Alzheimer's Disease and Diabetes Risk in Night Owls: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses research findings linking nutrient deficiencies to Alzheimer's disease and how diet and supplementation can play a crucial role in prevention.
