Let's talk about why your genes are not your fate and what you do have...

There's no debate that fasting has immense healing powers, especially for people with Type 2 diabetes.  However, it needs to be undertaken with some caution and strategy.  As a person who has been practicing this for years, I have a lot of knowledge and experience with doing it poorly and failing to complete a planned fast.  So, this gives me a ton of insight into getting it done with as litt...

In this episode I explain why mind...

Would you like to be an informed and active participant in selecting the right medication for your diabetes?  Well, you need information.  Most of the time, you aren't given options for different medications, let alone informed of the pros and cons of each. In this episode, I empower you with awareness of your options.  We compare them by discussing their risks and benefits in a way that is s...

Most people with Type 2 Diabetes have only been offered medications to treat their diabetes.  Emphasis is placed on choosing the "right medication."  What no one is explaining to you is that none of the medications you are choosing from will actually address the root cause of Type 2 Diabetes.  In this episode, I explain how these medications work and how there is actually another option:...

When's the last time you lied to your doctor? Why do you do that? It’s because you don’t feel safe. You feel judged. You feel shamed. Sometimes, even blamed. Do you feel rushed?  Does anyone listen to you?  Lab work is like a bad report card—a problem that needs to be fixed. Do you worry what they will say or prescribe?  Are you allowed to disagree?  It's typical for patients to feel uns...

Last, I answer the question, "When will it go away?" Show notes: How to Work With...

Today, I'm going to set something straight that might change how you decide to approach your diabetes.  Relying on medications to keep the A1c in check is the typical approach to "controlling" diabetes for most Americans, and usually the only thing that is offered.  Believing that a "controlled" A1c equates to "controlled" diabetes isn't always true, especia...

I also explain why you don't want to rapidly drop your blood sugars and why our brain's reaction to tho...
