In this episode of the Pain and Performance Podcast, Dr. Derrick Hines sits down with Dr. Jason Shumard to explore the root causes of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and chronic inflammation.

They discuss why blood sugar is only part of the story, the role of toxins, cellular health, and advanced testing, and how a functional medicine approach can help uncover what's driving metabolic disease. The conversation also covers GLP-1 medications, detoxification, regenerative therapies, and practical strategies for improving long-term metabolic health.
