Show Notes

What we discuss in this episode:

  • My take on how pre-diabetes should be really described as. 
  • Have you ever asked yourself: “If I’m not overweight, can I still have insulin resistance?” You might want to know that: “Insulin resistance is typically a precursor to type 2 diabetes”.
  • 3 red flags that will help you know if you have insulin resistance.
  • Ties between cortisol and insulin.
  • How properly treating cortisol levels could be a great answer in reducing diabetes medication and improving patient’s treatment. 
  • Exercise is always on the top 3 recommendations we always get from our doctors. The reason is pretty obvious, whether you’re a diabetic or not. Even though I struggled with the idea of going to the gym, exercising may help with our insulin resistance. Check out why and what type of exercises you can do if you’re not a gym lover like myself and what benefits it can bring to our battle against diabetes.
