Podcasts about Type 2 diabetes

Heart disease is still the number one killer in the U.S.—but are we even looking at the right markers to prevent it? In this eye-opening episode, Shana sits down with Dr. Urban Kiernan, founder and CEO of iMetabolic Biopharma Corporation, to break down what your lipid panel actually means, why total cholesterol and LDL often distract from the real risks, and how insulin resistance plays a central role in heart disease—especially during menopause. Dr. Kiernan shares how his biotech company is leveraging AI, protein therapy, and root-cause science to transform how we prevent and treat metabolic disease—and why most conventional approaches miss the mark entirely. If you've ever been confused by your labs, put on statins without a full explanation, or wondered why we're still seeing record rates of heart attacks and strokes, this conversation will bring clarity and direction.

Dr. K talks with geriatric diabetes expert Dr. Sei Lee about the different medications available to treat diabetes, including Ozempic and Jardiance, and how to use them safely and effectively in later life.

Type 2 diabetes directly damages your heart's ability to make energy, leaving you more vulnerable to fatigue, swelling, and heart failure Human heart tissue studies show that mitochondria — the power plants of your cells — lose key components in diabetic hearts, forcing the heart to beat with less fuel Fat and sugar metabolism both become inefficient, and backup fuels fail to provide support, leaving your heart stranded without reliable energy sources Structural changes inside the heart, including scar-like collagen buildup and weaker calcium-handling proteins, make each heartbeat less coordinated and less powerful You can take action by cutting linoleic acid (LA) from your diet, choosing the right carbohydrates, limiting environmental toxins, using sunlight strategically, and tracking your insulin resistance with HOMA-IR to protect your heart's energy systems

Brenda Davis, R.D., shares groundbreaking insights into the effectiveness of plant-based nutrition for managing and reversing Type 2 Diabetes. Learn the science-backed benefits of adopting a plant-focused diet to restore health, improve blood sugar control, and transform your well-being. #PlantBasedDiet #DiabetesManagement #HealthyEating

Obesity is one of the strongest risk factors for type 2 diabetes. Around 60–70% of people with diabetes are either obese or overweight. For Indians, even a BMI above 23 is considered overweight, above 25 obese, and above 30 morbidly obese. Excess body fat, especially inside the abdomen (visceral fat), increases insulin resistance, forcing the pancreas to work harder to maintain normal blood sugar. The pancreas does this through its beta cells, which normally keep glucose between 70–140 mg/dL. But repeated exposure to high-calorie, high-sugar, low-fiber diets puts these cells under constant strain. Over time, beta cells become fatigued and begin to fail. By the time fasting blood sugar reaches 126 mg/dL—the cut-off for diabetes—nearly half to two-thirds of beta cells are already lost. Preserving the remaining cells is therefore of utmost importance. Lifestyle changes are the most effective way to protect beta cells. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and maintaining normal weight reduce the workload on the pancreas. Indians require at least 250 minutes of brisk walking per week, compared to 150 minutes for Caucasians. Avoiding sweets, fried foods, and excess fat, while ensuring adequate hydration (1.5–2 liters per day), is equally important. Medications that overstress beta cells should be used cautiously to avoid accelerating their decline. Protecting beta cells through lifestyle, diet, regular exercise, and the use of a few drugs (SGLT2i, GLP-1a, etc.), which help protect beta cells, delay their aging, and improve their secretory function, is essential for a healthy future for people with diabetes. Technology is the key to delaying complications and living healthier with diabetes. Expert- Dr Sunil Gupta Anchor- Mrs. Kalyani Gokhale Recorded on: 20/05/2025 Recorded at: Akashwani Nagpur

I recently got this question from reader Emily:I work as a diabetes educator and the place where I work just sent this document to everyone and told us that we should use it when talking to “o-word” patients. It doesn't seem right to me at all can you do some analysis so I can push back?Thanks for asking Emily, I will do my best. The document she is referring to is called “Person-Centered Conversations: Weight Management and Type 2 Diabetes” and was put out by the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (ADCES) as a “framework” document.

***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS October 1st, 2025!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use ‘fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! ⁠REGISTER HERE!⁠ Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! This episode examines a critical 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials involving 966 type 2 diabetic participants, revealing a sobering truth about intermittent fasting: while it produces remarkable short-term benefits, these gains completely disappear after discontinuation. Dr. Scott and Tommy analyze how various fasting protocols (time-restricted eating, fast-mimicking diets, periodic fasting) significantly reduced A1C levels, fasting blood glucose, and body weight in under three months - but all parameters returned to pre-intervention levels within three months of stopping. This research powerfully illustrates why fasting must be approached as a permanent lifestyle change rather than a temporary diet solution. The hosts address the staggering diabetes epidemic: 38 million diagnosed Americans, 9 million undiagnosed, and 98 million with prediabetes - totaling 145 million Americans on the diabetes spectrum. Learn why the "rebound effect" occurs when fasting habits aren't sustained, and discover practical strategies for long-term adherence through personal anecdotes about adapting fasting to real-life situations like family dinners and social pressures. The episode introduces the concept of "momentary maintenance" - deliberate pauses in fat loss to build confidence in weight control rather than viewing plateaus as failures. This research validates that consistency trumps perfection, emphasizing that intermittent fasting works brilliantly when maintained but requires the same ongoing commitment as any other health practice to preserve its metabolic benefits. ⁠⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

I am not a doctor. I do not provide medical advice. Always refer to your doctor for authoritative advice. I am a Type 2 Diabetic. I was diagnosed in December 2022. Subsequently, I made numerous Lifestyle changes and by November 2023 my doctor ended my diabetes medication. I continued monitoring my blood glucose levels using a Continuous Blood Glucose Monitor—CGM. By April 2025, my doctor stopped the requirement to wear a CGM. With lifestyle changes and diligence, it was possible to reverse my diabetes naturally. I realized that if I had made the same changes over the previous 25–30 years, preventing my Type 2 Diabetes would have been entirely possible. Diabetes is one of the largest and fastest growing medical illnesses in all parts of the world. Preventing and reversing it when it has manifested is one of the biggest medical and personal challenges we face today.  This is my story, my journey

Type 2 diabetes used to be called “adult-onset diabetes.” Not anymore. Today, one in three American teens has prediabetes, and diagnoses of type 2 diabetes are climbing rapidly in youths — high schoolers, young adults in their twenties and thirties, and even in children. When diabetes strikes young, it doesn't just start earlier, it progresses faster, becomes more aggressive, and leads to serious complications much sooner.In this episode, Dr. Jedha unpacks the shocking new statistics from the CDC and global research, explores why this epidemic is accelerating among young people, and reveals what the latest studies tell us about their heightened risks, from early blood vessel damage to kidney, eye, and heart complications appearing in their twenties. You'll also hear about the debate over medications in youth, and most importantly, the powerful role of prevention, lifestyle, and family support.If you're a parent, grandparent, teacher, or simply someone concerned about the health of the next generation, this conversation will open your eyes.

Want to be a guest or know someone would be a great fit? I am looking for military vets, active duty, military brats, veteran service orgs or anyone in the fitness industryThe shocking truth about prolonged sitting will make you want to stand up right now. While most of us understand sitting too much isn't ideal, few realize the serious health consequences backed by alarming research. Even if you're someone who exercises regularly, extended periods of sitting can dramatically increase your risk of chronic diseases.Research published in top medical journals reveals that sitting for long periods correlates with a 112% increased risk of diabetes and significantly higher chances of developing heart disease, particularly for women who sit 10+ hours daily. What's truly eye-opening is that these risks persist regardless of how much you exercise outside those sitting periods. The damage isn't limited to physical health either – prolonged sitting reduces the production of mood-enhancing brain chemicals like endorphins and serotonin, potentially contributing to depression and anxiety.But there's hope in small changes. Studies show that just two minutes of walking every hour could lower your risk of premature death by 33%. Ten minutes of daily physical activity reduces waist circumference and insulin resistance. Even simple habits like standing during phone calls, climbing stairs, or stretching before getting out of bed can counteract "gluteal amnesia" – also known as "dead butt syndrome" – where your body literally forgets how to properly activate crucial muscles after sitting too long. These small movement breaks reawaken your muscles, refresh your mind, and protect your long-term health.Ready to break the sitting cycle? Start with just 10 minutes of movement daily. Set reminders to stand every 50 minutes. Dance, stretch, or walk – whatever gets you moving. Your body and brain will thank you immediately and for years to come. Remember: if you don't pay attention to your health now, you'll be forced to pay attention to your illness later.

Shannon shares how shifting to a low-carb lifestyle—and later discovering the Feel Great System—transformed her health, helped her conquer intense sugar cravings, and brought her cholesterol and triglycerides back into balance. You'll hear how Shannon now uses these same strategies to help her clients reverse type 2 diabetes and regain control over their blood sugar, cravings, and energy. ✨ SPECIAL EVENT ALERT: On August 13th, join Shana and Shannon LIVE on YouTube for the Metabolic Marathon, a powerful day of collaboration between dietitians and doctors with the American Diabetes Society.

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.
