The podcast is officially 2 years old TODAY! We've covered a lot of topics on this show.  In honor of the anniversary, I'm bringing back some of the most popular episodes you may have missed.  

Show notes: 
In this episode, we dive into the critical topic of prediabetes, exploring its signs, causes, and the underlying mechanisms of blood sugar and insulin. Prediabetes, a condition of insulin resistance, often goes unnoticed for years before blood sugar levels start to rise. Shockingly, over 50% of the U.S. adult population is affected by diabetes or prediabetes, including many who are not overweight. We break down the importance of maintaining optimal levels of key metabolic markers and explain the roles of blood sugar and insulin in our bodies.

We also distinguish between the two main types of diabetes: type 1, an autoimmune condition, and type 2, characterized by insulin resistance. Diagnosing diabetes involves several tests, including Hemoglobin A1C, fasting blood sugar, and others. However, these tests often overlook insulin levels, the first marker to increase in diabetes progression. We recommend a comprehensive panel to fully assess metabolic health. Join us as we discuss the true causes of high insulin levels, the impact of diet and stress on blood sugar, and why traditional treatments often miss the mark. Discover how cutting carbohydrates can be a sustainable solution to managing blood sugar and insulin levels.
