Ready to take control of your health too? Book your free Blood Sugar Breakthrough Call and let’s put together a winning game plan for your situation.

Breaking news for anyone on GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy): major patient assistance programs are being dropped for Medicare patients. In this emergency episode, Cory unpacks what this means, why it’s another wake-up call to stop outsourcing your health to a system built on profit, and how to protect yourself from skyrocketing costs and dependency.

Most people with Type 2 diabetes are stuck in patterns they know aren’t working — but can’t seem to break. They follow doctor’s orders, take the medications, and get their labs checked... yet still feel tired, frustrated, and dependent. In this episode, Brian breaks down why that happens — and how the illusion of control from medication keeps so many people trapped in the patient mindset. You’ll learn the key difference between the Patient Mindset (getting things done to you) and the Rebel M...
Would a good Father want His child to stay diabetic, sick, and stuck on medications forever? Of course not.

In this episode, we unpack why that is not God’s plan for your life.

In this solo episode, Cory pulls back the curtain on what really drives diabetes reversal — and it’s not the crash diets or miracle meds you’ve been sold. It’s the hidden math of daily choices. Just like compound interest, every decision adds up. A skipped walk here, an extra soda there, or a workout cut short doesn’t feel like much in the moment… until those little choices compound into a diagnosis. The good news? The same math works in your favor. Small shifts — like walking after meals, ad...
Most people living with type 2 diabetes aren’t failing because they lack willpower. They’re stuck because the healthcare system gave them outdated advice, rushed appointments, and little clarity about what actually works.

“Should I try Ozempic or just fix my diet?” What if it’s not either/or… but how you use it? 🧠💉🥗 Here’s our take from today’s episode: GLP-1s = tool, not destination. 1) What GLP-1s actually do ✔️ Tame appetite ✔️ Slow gastric emptying ✔️ Improve insulin signaling …but they don’t build skills (meal structure, strength training, routines). 2) Miracle, Crutch, or Bridge? ✨ Miracle: fast results, fades without habits 🪑 Crutch: stuck if you never learn 🌉 Bridge: best when paired with...
