Is walking enough to improve your blood sugar, or is there an even more powerful form of exercise?

In this episode, Robby Barbaro explains why resistance training can dramatically improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation. You'll discover how simple movements like squats, chair stands, push-ups, step-ups, and resistance band exercises help your muscles pull glucose out of the bloodstream more efficiently, even when insulin isn't working as well as it should.

You'll also learn the fascinating science behind AMPK activation, GLUT4 transporters, muscle glycogen storage, and why building stronger muscles can lead to better glucose control for hours and even days after a workout.

In this episode, you'll learn:
Why skeletal muscle is your body's largest glucose storage system
How resistance training improves insulin sensitivity differently than walking
What AMPK and GLUT4 are and why they're essential for healthy blood sugar
Why muscle contractions can pull glucose into cells even without insulin
How just one strength workout can improve insulin sensitivity for up to 48 hours
Why "exercise snacks" before meals can lower post-meal blood sugar
How stronger muscles are linked to lower A1C levels • Why combining resistance training with walking provides the greatest metabolic benefits
Simple beginner-friendly exercises anyone can start today, including chair stands, wall push-ups, and step-ups
Why restoring carbohydrate tolerance—not avoiding carbohydrates—is the real goal of reversing insulin resistance

This episode isn't about punishing yourself with exercise or trying to "burn off" your meals.

It's about understanding how resistance training communicates with your muscles, improves their ability to absorb glucose, and works alongside a low-fat, whole-food, plant-based diet to address the root cause of insulin resistance.

Whether you're living with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, insulin resistance, or simply want healthier blood sugar levels, this episode will help you understand why upgrading your muscles may be one of the fastest ways to improve your metabolism. Keep your carbs high and your A1C low.

Many women are told that rising blood sugar during menopause is simply a normal part of aging or a sign that they need to avoid carbohydrates forever. But the truth is that menopause creates physiological changes that can reduce insulin sensitivity, especially in the liver and muscle cells, making blood sugar regulation more challenging. In this episode, Robby Barbaro explains why blood sugar often rises during menopause and shares seven science-backed strategies designed to improve insulin sensitivity and help restore normal glucose regulation at the root cause level. You'll learn: • Why menopause can increase insulin resistance and blood sugar levels • The real reason blood sugar rises during hormonal transitions • How a low-fat, whole-food, plant-based diet helps clear excess fat from liver and muscle cells • Why skipping meals can sometimes make fasting blood sugar worse • How walking after meals improves glucose uptake and lowers blood sugar • The surprising connection between hydration and fasting glucose levels • How stress hormones influence blood sugar regulation during menopause • Why meal timing and circadian rhythms affect insulin sensitivity • How to track progress without becoming obsessed with individual glucose readings • The key habits that help restore insulin sensitivity over time This episode isn't about restricting carbohydrates, fearing food, or chasing perfect numbers. It's about understanding what's actually happening inside your body during menopause and using simple, evidence-based strategies to improve insulin sensitivity, lower blood sugar, and work with your biology instead of against it. If you've noticed higher fasting glucose, larger post-meal spikes, increased belly fat, lower energy levels, or the feeling that your body suddenly responds differently to food, this episode will help you understand why—and what you can do about it. Keep your carbs high and your A1c low.

What if one of the most powerful tools for lowering blood sugar didn't require a supplement, medication change, restrictive diet, or intense workout?

In this episode, Robby Barbaro breaks down the science behind one of the simplest and most effective strategies for improving blood sugar control: walking after meals.

You'll learn how just 10–15 minutes of movement after eating can activate contraction-mediated glucose uptake, allowing your muscles to pull glucose out of your bloodstream even when insulin isn't working efficiently. This powerful mechanism can help reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes, improve fasting glucose levels, and accelerate the restoration of insulin sensitivity.

In this episode, you'll learn: • Why post-meal walking can lower blood sugar within minutes • The science of contraction-mediated glucose uptake and GLUT4 activation • Why timing may matter more than workout intensity for blood sugar control • How 10–15 minute walks outperformed a single 45-minute workout in clinical research • Why evening walks may be especially effective for improving fasting glucose • The connection between muscle contraction, insulin resistance, and glucose disposal • Why high-intensity exercise isn't always the best tool for lowering blood sugar after meals • How simple movement habits can help restore normal physiology over time • Practical ways to use walking, stair climbing, heel raises, or marching in place to improve glucose regulation

This episode isn't about managing symptoms.

It's about understanding the physiology behind blood sugar regulation and using simple, science-backed strategies to help your body work the way it was designed to.

If you've been frustrated by stubborn post-meal spikes, confusing fasting glucose readings, or the feeling that you're doing everything right but not seeing results, this episode may completely change the way you think about movement and blood sugar.

Fiber is not just about digestion.

YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI1bnFYzJRA

Most people hear that fiber is good for blood sugar, but very few understand how much they actually need to create real, measurable change. The truth is, small increases in fiber are not enough to significantly impact insulin resistance. There is a therapeutic range, and when you reach it consistently, your metabolism begins to shift.

In this episode, we break down the exact fiber intake levels used in randomized controlled trials to lower blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, and address the root cause of chronically elevated glucose.

You'll learn:

• The specific fiber range (30–45 grams per day) shown to improve blood sugar and insulin resistance • Why soluble fiber (7–12 grams daily) plays a critical role in metabolic health • How fiber slows glucose absorption and reduces post-meal spikes • The connection between fiber, the gut microbiome, and liver glucose output • Why high fiber intake improves fasting blood sugar overnight • How fiber improves insulin signaling at the muscle and liver level • What a full day of eating looks like when you hit the therapeutic fiber range • Why most people are eating less than half the fiber needed for real results • How combining high fiber with low fat intake accelerates insulin sensitivity

These are not general nutrition tips.

They are clinically studied intake levels that directly influence how glucose moves through your body, how insulin functions, and how your liver regulates blood sugar.

When you consistently reach the right fiber intake, blood sugar becomes more stable, insulin sensitivity improves, and energy levels become more predictable.

This episode will show you exactly how to apply this in real life using simple whole foods you already recognize.

High blood sugar is not random.

YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvVxm6ktRog

Most people see a high glucose number and immediately start guessing what went wrong. But blood sugar is not a mystery. It rises when three things happen at the same time: glucose stays trapped in the bloodstream, the liver releases extra glucose, and insulin signaling becomes impaired.

In this episode, we break down 5 of the fastest, science-backed ways to lower blood sugar while also addressing the root cause underneath it: insulin resistance.

You'll learn:

• Why 15 minutes of movement can lower blood sugar even when insulin isn't working well • How muscle contraction pulls glucose directly from the bloodstream without needing insulin • Why hydration affects blood sugar concentration and hormone signaling • Why skipping meals after a high reading can actually make blood sugar worse • How fiber-rich, low-fat whole plant foods improve liver and muscle insulin sensitivity • The surprising connection between stress hormones and liver glucose release • Why tracking fasting glucose reveals whether insulin resistance is actually improving

These strategies are not gimmicks.

They are physiology-based levers that improve glucose uptake, reduce excess liver glucose output, and calm the hormonal signals that push blood sugar higher.

When you apply them together, something powerful happens. Blood sugar stops feeling unpredictable and starts becoming manageable.

You stop reacting to numbers and start understanding how to change the biology underneath them.

This episode will give you a clear, actionable framework you can use immediately the next time your blood sugar runs high.

Most people think blood sugar spikes are only about what you eat.

YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/tRfNECtLsFc?si=tyvTWNqk-UpmK4vY

But what if what you do in the first 15 to 30 minutes after eating matters just as much?

In this episode, we break down 3 simple, science-backed movement strategies shown in randomized controlled trials to immediately flatten post-meal glucose spikes — even when carbohydrates are on your plate.

You'll learn:

•⁠ ⁠Why walking after meals works — and why timing matters more than total exercise volume •⁠ ⁠How seated soleus push-ups can reduce glucose excursions by over 30% •⁠ ⁠The powerful 1–3 minute stair-climbing strategy that improves insulin sensitivity in real time •⁠ ⁠How muscle contraction pulls glucose from your bloodstream independent of insulin •⁠ ⁠Why post-meal movement may be the missing link in stubborn fasting numbers

These are not extreme workouts. No supplements. No complicated routines.

Just strategic movement applied at the exact moment your body needs it most.

We'll explain the physiology behind contraction-mediated glucose uptake, how to turn your muscles into "glucose vacuums," and how to combine these strategies with a high-carbohydrate, low-fat, whole food, plant-based diet to improve insulin sensitivity meal by meal.

Most people are told to fear carbohydrates.

But what if the real driver of insulin resistance is something else entirely?

In this episode, we break down the 5 foods that quietly increase fat inside your liver and muscle cells, impair insulin sensitivity, and keep blood sugar elevated—even in people who believe they're eating "healthy."

You'll learn:

• Why fried foods flood your bloodstream with free fatty acids and inflammatory compounds that worsen insulin resistance • How processed "health" foods like protein bars and shakes impair glucose tolerance • The biggest myth in diabetes nutrition—and why excess dietary fat, not carbohydrates, blocks insulin action • How cheese and high-fat dairy silently increase saturated fat intake and reduce metabolic flexibility • Why red and processed meat increase oxidative stress, inflammation, and diabetes risk

We connect large population studies, metabolic research, and thousands of real-world client transformations to explain how lowering dietary fat—especially saturated fat—can rapidly improve insulin sensitivity.

You'll also learn what to eat instead: whole fruits, legumes, intact whole grains, and starchy vegetables that help your cells clear excess fat and restore normal glucose control.

This episode isn't about fear.

It's about clarity.

Once you understand what's happening inside your cells, reversing insulin resistance becomes simple, practical, and powerful.

If you're ready to lower your A1C, improve fasting glucose, and regain energy—without extreme dieting—this episode will show you where to start.

The Blue Zones’ food tradition is going the way of the dodo bird, thanks to the encroachment of the American Food Culture.

The Highly Toxic "Foods" Even the Healthiest Eaters are Still Consuming ... cosmetics / personal care products are the most prevalent little-known worst-offenders of toxins today. They're the most unregulated industry in the U.S., and have been since the FDA told them to self-regulate in 1938. In the European Union, 1300 chemicals are banned from cosmetics but not in the U.S. When you apply these products to your body, you are essentially eating many of the chemicals. Unlike foods you put in your mouth, though, there are no liver and other cleansing systems in place so they can go straight into the bloodstream. Using these products day after day, decade after decade is a problem. Because so many known endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, and chemicals linked to other diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and beyond are prevalent, there are smarter ways to feed your body far cleaner such "foods."

Learn the secrets to radically improving your health from “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll, who lost 265 pounds and kept it off!

At Chuck's heaviest, he weighed 420 pounds and had amassed a 66-inch waist while requiring a size 6xl shirt.

Fearing that his life was spiraling out of control and nearing an end, he opted to undergo weight loss surgery. Prior to the procedure he was convinced that the drastic measure would become like all the other failed attempts to lose weight. At least, he thought, he could go to his grave confident that he tried everything.

Chuck was just 27 years old at the time and didn’t think he would live to see 30. But then the unexpected happened. He woke up from the surgery and never looked back. Although a critical component, the surgery proved only to be the first step in his journey. In fact, he only attributes 10 percent of his weight loss success to the procedure.

In just over a year, Chuck shed 265 pounds by conquering food addiction and devoting himself to a healthier lifestyle. He’s now maintaining weight loss by eating a plant-based diet. Going plant-based once seemed unthinkable to Chuck, but now it’s going back to eating processed meat and dairy that would be inconceivable.

The confidence he gained from the weight loss enabled him to pursue his dream of becoming a sports reporter. He has hosted a number of radio shows with NFL players. One of the players gave him the nickname “The Weight Loss Champion” after news of his transformation spread through the locker room.

In this episode, we chat with Chuck about:

Breaking food addiction
Sustaining weight loss
His eating habits growing up
His failed diet attempts
When he realized he was addicted to food
His emotional experiences of being 420 pounds
The secret to keeping the weight off
Where a lot of people go wrong when trying to lose weight
and much more

We are excited to be joined by Dr. Joel Kahn.

Dr. Kahn is a cardiologist and a Clinical Professor of Medicine at Wayne State University School of Medicine and a Summa Cum Laude graduate from the University of Michigan Medical School.

He’s known as “America’s Holistic Heart Doc,” and has authored many peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. He writes articles for MindBodyGreen, Thrive Global, and Reader’s Digest and has five books in publication including The Whole Heart Solution, Dead Execs Don’t Get Bonuses as well as The Plant-Based Solution.

He has regular appearances on Dr. Phil, The Doctors, and Fox 2 News. He also recently debated with Chris Kresser about the evidence in support of plant-based diets on the Joe Rogan Experience and has been featured with Larry King Live in a recent special about heart health.

He also owns 2 health restaurants in Detroit and a food truck in Austin, Texas. How he accomplishes all of this is a complete mystery to us, but suffice it to say that Dr. Kahn is a MACHINE, he’s our favorite stand-up comedian, and we’re honored to call him a friend.

In this episode of the Mastering Diabetes Audio Experience, we’ll cover:

An article he recently wrote in which he referred to low-carbohydrate diets as “high-coffin” diets, because there is ample scientific evidence that low-carbohydrate diets actually increase your risk for premature death.
Why, despite this, many health professionals teach people to INCREASE their intake of meat, cheese, fish, eggs, and vegetable oil, claiming that it’s the best way to “reverse” type 2 diabetes specifically because they are low in carbohydrate energy.
What benefits would someone gain from becoming a plant-based low-carbohydrate eater?
What are the exact benefits of short-term ketosis referenced by Dr. Valter Longo and how do those benefits change over time?
What happens to blood lipids and specifically LDL cholesterol following a plant-based low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet?
What happens to diabetes risk and blood glucose control following a plant-based low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet?
If there was ONE THING you could say to teach people the truth about nutrition to clear up the confusion that the Internet promotes, what would it be?

Meet Matt: T1D, 700 g carbs per day, 45 u insulin per day, 4.5% A1c.

💉 Matt was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2000.⁣
⁣
Later in life, he found himself nearing 300 pounds, lacking energy, and unable to control his blood glucose.

🌱 A coworker of Matt’s who is plant-based began talking to him about diabetes control and the ability of a plant-based diet to help. After watching videos online from Nutritionfacts.org he and his wife decided to try eating plant-based for 30 days. After a week, and consuming as many documentaries and podcasts as they could, they decided they could never go back. They both felt great and Matt noticed the amazing blood glucose control.

“I transitioned from a low-carb diet to a high-carb diet and found my insulin per carb ratio was dramatically lower. I was eating 125g of carbs per day beforehand and using about 35 units of insulin, and now I eat upwards of 500-700g carbs and use around 45-50 units per day.” 

Before and after going plant-based:
Fasting Blood Glucose (mg/dL): 110 - 88⁣
A1c (%): 7.2 - 4.5
Weight (lbs.): 270 - 194
Cholesterol (mg): 170 - 149
Fat p/day (g): 50 - 30
Carbohydrates p/day (g): 125 - 500-700
Total Units Insulin (ml): 35-40 - 45-50 ⁣
90% Time in range

“My transition was first started due to interest for health reasons but quickly transitioned to an ethical and health reason. I am also an amateur athlete and have completed several long-distance races including full-distance Iron Man, ultra marathon, 24-hour OCR, marathon- all while being plant-based and obviously diabetic. Never once have I worried about blood glucose control and I have never had issues with training or racing.”

It turns out there are three different “flavors” of diabetes that we will cover in detail during this episode and insulin resistance is the central node that connects them all.

Specifically, we cover:

0:55 — How Cyrus found out he was living with type 1 diabetes
9:35 — Why diabetes is the best thing that ever happened to him
11:48 — What is insulin resistance and what is the cause
19:25 — The 3 “flavors” of diabetes and the central connecting puzzle piece that connects them all

Today we are excited to be joined by Dr. Vivian Chen.

Dr. Chen has 14 years of experience as a doctor in the UK. She trained in internal medicine and dermatology in London before moving into Family Practice.

Today’s show is a bit different than many of our others because our conversation with Dr. Vivian Chen focuses on food, but also on specific environmental contaminants that can increase your risk for insulin resistance as well as other metabolic diseases.

It’s true that excess saturated fat is one of the most potent and reliable triggers of insulin resistance, as many published studies have shown

But beyond the saturated fat equation, there are many other aspects of daily life that can increase your risk for IR, including:

- Weight gain
- A sedentary lifestyle
- Overconsumption of calories
- Living in a high stress environment
- A suppressed immune system, and
- Excess alcohol intake (to name a few)

In today’s show, we’ll talk with Dr. Vivian Chen about the role that chemicals in your environment play in “disrupting” your endocrine health

We’ll talk about animal foods, tupperware, plastic bags, receipts, packaged food products, plastic water bottles, flame retardants, fish, and much much more

You can learn more about Dr. Vivian Chen by visiting her website at www.platefulhealth.com or stalking her on Instagram at plateful.health

Questions that will be answered in this episode:

What is the coronavirus?

What is innate immunity?

What is adaptive immunity?

Are patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus at increased risk for COVID-19 infection? Why?

Is it true that the people at the highest risk are only the elderly and are people with type 1 diabetes, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes all at high risk for complications?

Does living with any autoimmune disease increase your risk?

Why are people with high blood pressure and heart disease also considered high risk?

How can I protect my family and loved ones with pre-existing health conditions?

What is the science of immunity and what foods (if any) can boost innate immunity?

How can I not only survive but thrive in my personal health starting today?

We are going to touch on some of these questions in today’s episode but you won’t want to miss the opportunity to hear renowned experts, doctors on the front line and New York Times bestselling authors go into detail during our FREE 3-day mini-summit.

In today’s show, we had the opportunity to interview Adam and Shoshana of the Plant Trainers Podcast, a husband-and-wife combo and incredibly inspirational individuals who are helping to spread the word about the power of plant-based nutrition.

You’ll learn Adam’s powerful story about getting diagnosed with a kidney tumor before he began eating a plant-based diet, even though he was an avid athlete and had a great physique on the outside.

You’ll learn how Adam’s eye doctor first discovered a cardiovascular condition by looking at the condition of blood vessels behind his eyes.

You’ll also learn about how it took time for Shoshana to transition to a plant-based diet even though Adam was experiencing tremendous results in the first year of becoming plant-based.

But then when she did, her entire life changed in front of her eyes – and as a result, she took it upon herself to help transition their two kids to a plant-based diet (which they are admittedly infatuated with).

In today’s show, you’ll learn how to support your partner in transitioning to a plant-based diet.

You’ll also learn simple strategies that Adam and Shoshana have used to teach their kids to eat more plants.

Today’s podcast is super fun, with two fantastic plant-based advocates. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

In Episode 90 Simon Hill of The Plant Proof Podcast had us on his show to chat about Diabetes (Type 1, 1a, Pre, and Type 2) and the role that nutrition plays on insulin resistance. We go through the body of scientific literature and explain what causes insulin resistance and how to actually reverse it.

Specifically we cover:

Our personal journeys with Type 1 Diabetes
Pathophysiology of Insulin Resistance
Difference between low carb ketogenic type diets for Insulin Resistance and High Carb Low Fat diets
Why Keto diets can promote insulin resistance (poorer ability to handle carbohydrates)
What truly reversing insulin resistance actually means - specifically the the difference between reversing insulin resistance and managing blood glucose control
Common diabetic complications and why reversing insulin resistance is so important
Nutrition for reversing insulin resistance & diabetic complications (the practical stuff)
and so much more

Strap yourselves in this is a long one (2.5 hours) but we guarantee by the end of it you will have learned so much about Diabetes and finally understand the mechanism that causes insulin resistance and how to reverse it and improve health outcomes. Not only is this understanding important for people with Diabetes but really anyone looking to better their health, particularly anyone who is overweight (millions of people have undiagnosed pre diabetes). Insulin resistance is a spectrum and eating to promote optimal glucose tolerance means you will be able to enjoy some of the most healthful food groups in the world associated with longevity.

If you have any comments or questions, Simon, (@plant_proof) and we, Robby and Cyrus (@masteringdiabetes) would love to hear from you. Please tag us on social media or leave a quick review on iTunes.

In the world of nutrition we hear about what we should eat and what not to eat, how much to eat and so on and so forth. The internet is ripe with nutrition information and voices that contradict each other, especially when it comes to the consumption of dietary fat. We are one of those voices trying to educate you on the importance of eating a low-fat, plant based, whole food diet.

The consumption of excess fat can lead to the deposition or the accumulation of excess fat inside of your liver and muscle and how that can impair the ability of insulin to do it’s job and when that happens you increase the risk for the development of insulin resistance. Today we are going to do a deep dive in to different types of fat inside of your diet because the truth is that all fat is not created equal.

The fat that you eat comes in either the form of a trans-fat, saturated fat or as unsaturated fat and they all play diverse roles in your body. They can either promote chronic diseases or help reverse chronic diseases. It’s a mistake to lump all fat together and say fat is bad for you and that is why we recorded this podcast episode, to discuss the nuances of this topic.

If you are looking for more information please visit our website at https://www.masteringdiabetes.org to learn evidence-based science and get free recipes and listen to free podcast episodes. You can also watch videos of people living with all types of diabetes and you can hear them tell their inspirational stories of improving their diabetes health for the first time in their life.

We will send you a personal invitation to join the coaching program as soon as the next open enrollment period begins.

We would love for you to leave us a review on iTunes. The truth is every review counts and helps further our mission to spread the word about reversing insulin resistance in 1 million people. Please take two minutes, head to the iTunes Store on your phone or computer and leave a review for this podcast. We really appreciate it and look forward to reading your honest opinion.

In this video we share some heartwarming stories from some of our members, and provide you an opportunity to join the insulin sensitivity revolution.

You’ll hear from Raj, a dad who lost more than 70 pounds and reversed type 2 diabetes after he overheard his son making fun of him for being slow and overweight. Now that’s he’s in full control of his health, he’s able to challenge his son to a game of competitive basketball as often as he wants.

You’ll hear from Tami, who lost more than 35 pounds, dropped her A1c to a non-diabetic 5.3%, and completely eliminated Metformin. Not only is she medication free, she’s more energetic than she’s been in years.

You’ll also hear how Tina dropped her A1c from 10.6% to 5.4% in only 3 months and dropped her fasting blood glucose from greater than 250 to between 80 and 90 mg/dL.

In this episode you’ll learn what makes whole carbohydrates and refined carbohydrates fundamentally different than each other, and why this simple distinction can improve your overall health dramatically.

No joke.

In today’s world, if carbohydrates were on trial, they’d be given a life sentence for harming millions of people around the world.

But is that really true? What does science actually say about the role of carbohydrates when living with diabetes (and why should you care)?

It’s simple. Whole carbohydrate-rich foods are some of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, and minimizing or avoiding them can seriously impact your long-term health.

But eating them while controlling your blood glucose like a champ will actually improve your overall health. It's true.

So sit back, grab a mango (or 5), and enjoy!

We’ve got another lesson for you…this one covers a lot of ground, and teaches you some easy-to-understand biochemistry which can change the way you think about your overall health.

This lesson covers the truth about the true cause of insulin resistance (and it may not be what you think).

In this video, we’ll discuss:

The true cause of insulin resistance (Answer: fatty foods)
Why insulin is not the enemy (Answer: it’s 100% necessary for life)
Does insulin cause weight gain? (Answer: no)
How a single high-fat meal impacts insulin resistance (Answer: it blocks insulin signaling)
How to figure out your level of insulin resistance (Answer: take the insulin resistance quiz)

Unfortunately, millions of people around the world don’t know what actually causes their blood glucose to fluctuate, and this information helped us both achieve non-diabetic A1c values and can do the same for you.

It’s already happened to more than 3,000 of our members.

The video covers a lot of ground, including the root cause of high A1c values and blood glucose fluctuations. Once you understand this information and how it applies to YOUR body, you’ll set yourself up to achieve your best A1c ever.

Take the quiz to measure your level of insulin resistance:

In our coaching program, we talk to so many women who have lived with Gestational Diabetes or first learned about their diabetes when they were pregnant. In this episode Dr Newman will answer questions like, “if someone were to find out that they have gestational diabetes, would you recommend adopting a plant-based diet during pregnancy to help improve their blood glucose?" and “is it true that a plant-based diet during pregnancy is dangerous because the mom and baby will be deprived of essential nutrients including things like calcium, EFAs, folate, and iron?”

If you are living with gestational diabetes, know someone who is or if you have ever wondered how to raise a child on a plant-based diet, you do not want to miss this episode!

C-peptide test is an important test that is largely unknown. When people think of the most important test for diabetes, they usually think of the A1c test. But a c-peptide test is actually more important in many cases because it can help a person find out if they are living with type 1.5 diabetes or if they are living with insulin dependent type 2 diabetes. C-peptide is commonly used for the very clear distinction between type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.

C-peptide is released into the blood as a byproduct of the production of insulin. This substance can be a game changer for many people living with diabetes. In this video you will see how Ann discovering her c-peptide saved her life. We have seen this happen in other clients as well. If you don't know your c-peptide level and are having trouble controlling your blood glucose, it may be a good idea to get it tested.
