Is the diabetes epidemic spiraling out of control? Tune in for some startling facts and stats!

To kick start this episode we dive into the unsettling rise in type 2 diabetes across the US, Canada, UK, and Australia, with startling numbers arising among younger populations. We lay bare the shocking statistics and with only a small percentage of people achieving their health goals, we delve into the critical need for better support systems and initiatives like the T2Diet Program—and we call on your help to spread the word and help us make a difference. 

In this episode, we also dip into some research bites and bits, exploring metformin timing, the dark side of counterfeit drugs, the impact of high cortisol levels on blood sugar, the effect of food additives on diabetes risk, the protective effects of flavonoid-rich foods, and more. Tune in for some interesting insights, research bites and bits that can improve your health today.
