Description

In this episode, we dive into the connection between prediabetes and weight gain, uncovering the real culprit: insulin resistance. 

You’ll learn why traditional weight loss advice, like calorie counting and low-fat diets, often fails people with prediabetes and what actually works to stop fat storage and kickstart weight loss naturally.

We’ll explore how your metabolism changes with prediabetes, why some foods—like whole grains and "zero-point" meals—may be sabotaging your progress, and how simple shifts in your diet can help you lose weight without starving yourself. 

If you’re tired of battling the scale and want a smarter, science-backed approach, this episode is for you. Tune in now and take the first step toward working with your body, not against it!
