In this episode I talk about how easy it is to help people with diabetes, but how hard it is to convince them of this. In the clinic, it was super easy to just have people make an appointment, but now I am fighting other ads and other clinicians to get you the information you need. This is the same for most things I guess....you can't tell people anything. You have to show them.

As usual the information that reaches the masses is a bit different than the truth. Fructose was once thought to be a better sweetening option than sugar, but they forgot to mention that pesky side effect of liver damage due to fatty liver. OOPS! In this episode I give you the scoop on why I am so passionate about keeping liquid sugars out of your body and ending the fructose myth.

The fitness industry is notorious for the infomercials and marketing making each and every exercise program the answer to your prayers. Except, most of the exercises are not fun to do and you end up hating them. Lucky for you another program was just released and this one will work for sure. I hope you are picking up on the sarcasm. Instead of trying to do exercise each day you hate, look instead to figure out what you already enjoy and turn that into your exercise.

Many live under the notion that doctors know everything about every disease and the most up to date treatment methods for all! Wrong. Your doctor barely has time to have lunch before the next 12 patients arrive, so no, they did not see the latest article on low-carb helping reverse diabetes or how polyunsaturated fat can be very helpful for the body. They are behind. Give this a listen, not to shame your doctor (Who works constantly) but to give you insight into how important it is for you to take an active role in your own health.
Did you ever notice how awesome you feel when you put more effort into your appearance. IT is not vanity to show yourself a little bit of love, and the payoff is HUGE!

We keep saying that diabetes is a chronic progressive disease, but anything will progress without the correct treatment. Infections get worse if you throw mud on them. In this episode I go through what the meds actually do in the body, and which ones I would be ok with my family taking.
High sugars cause massive damage to nerves. Can you imagine how much pain you would be in if you could feel the nerves getting damaged on the inside? The biggest nerve bundle of course is the brain and the amount of people developing dementia is startling.
There are so many supplements out there you would wonder if we live off of pills. We have seemed to replace common sense eating with multivitamins and prescription drugs. Many of these products have common ingredients that are disguised to be marketed as special diabetes formulas. Don't be duped. Spend your money on real food.
Relationships can be toxic. None more than substance use, and guess what? Food can be the worst! That is why we have shows depicting very overweight individuals struggling with weight and chronic health problems. Let's talk about your relationships with food.

Medical research already has shown us that Type 2 Diabetes is reversal and that there is a better way the just prescribing medication. Why are we skeptical? Because despite what we see, we were told differently.
We have many more medications today. We went from like a couple hundred meds to thousands of specific chemical entities. We're not any healthier, in fact, it seems like we're getting worse.
Type two diabetics do not need more insulin, they need less of it. At the same time their blood glucose levels need to be brought down. When a type two diabetic is given more insulin, the body simply pushes glucose and stored fats to other areas in the body, lowering blood glucose levels, but worsening diabetes.
