Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, and the Evolutionary Diet

By Dr. Alfred Granite

This podcast delves into the escalating global diabetes epidemic, clarifying the differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes, the most common form, arises primarily from insulin resistance, driven by modern diet and lifestyle factors. This episode explores the connection between insulin resistance and various age-related diseases, including neurodegenerative conditions, and highlights the potential role of an evolutionary dietary mismatch in their development. Practical dietary recommendations to combat insulin resistance are discussed, focusing on the benefits of whole foods while minimizing processed carbohydrates, sugar, and unhealthy fats. Finally, the Sardinian lifestyle is presented as a model for longevity, emphasizing a diet rich in healthy fats and an active, community-centered way of life.
