Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Are Today's WORST Offenders When It Comes To Toxins Even the Healthiest Eaters Are Still Consuming - E159 Jul 21, 2022

The Highly Toxic "Foods" Even the Healthiest Eaters are Still Consuming ... cosmetics / personal care products are the most prevalent little-known worst-offenders of toxins today. They're the most unregulated industry in the U.S., and have been since the FDA told them to self-regulate in 1938. In the European Union, 1300 chemicals are banned from cosmetics but not in the U.S. When you apply these products to your body, you are essentially eating many of the chemicals. Unlike foods you put in your mouth, though, there are no liver and other cleansing systems in place so they can go straight into the bloodstream. Using these products day after day, decade after decade is a problem. Because so many known endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, and chemicals linked to other diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and beyond are prevalent, there are smarter ways to feed your body far cleaner such "foods."

The Psychology of Sustained Weight Loss and Overcoming Lifelong Food Addiction with "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll – E117 Apr 28, 2021

Learn the secrets to radically improving your health from “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll, who lost 265 pounds and kept it off!

At Chuck's heaviest, he weighed 420 pounds and had amassed a 66-inch waist while requiring a size 6xl shirt.

Fearing that his life was spiraling out of control and nearing an end, he opted to undergo weight loss surgery. Prior to the procedure he was convinced that the drastic measure would become like all the other failed attempts to lose weight. At least, he thought, he could go to his grave confident that he tried everything.

Chuck was just 27 years old at the time and didn’t think he would live to see 30. But then the unexpected happened. He woke up from the surgery and never looked back. Although a critical component, the surgery proved only to be the first step in his journey. In fact, he only attributes 10 percent of his weight loss success to the procedure.

In just over a year, Chuck shed 265 pounds by conquering food addiction and devoting himself to a healthier lifestyle. He’s now maintaining weight loss by eating a plant-based diet. Going plant-based once seemed unthinkable to Chuck, but now it’s going back to eating processed meat and dairy that would be inconceivable.

The confidence he gained from the weight loss enabled him to pursue his dream of becoming a sports reporter. He has hosted a number of radio shows with NFL players. One of the players gave him the nickname “The Weight Loss Champion” after news of his transformation spread through the locker room.

In this episode, we chat with Chuck about:

Breaking food addiction
Sustaining weight loss
His eating habits growing up
His failed diet attempts
When he realized he was addicted to food
His emotional experiences of being 420 pounds
The secret to keeping the weight off
Where a lot of people go wrong when trying to lose weight
and much more

The Hidden Heart Disease Risk Factor Few are Talking About with Joel Kahn – E111 Mar 09, 2021

We are excited to be joined by Dr. Joel Kahn.

Dr. Kahn is a cardiologist and a Clinical Professor of Medicine at Wayne State University School of Medicine and a Summa Cum Laude graduate from the University of Michigan Medical School.

He’s known as “America’s Holistic Heart Doc,” and has authored many peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. He writes articles for MindBodyGreen, Thrive Global, and Reader’s Digest and has five books in publication including The Whole Heart Solution, Dead Execs Don’t Get Bonuses as well as The Plant-Based Solution.

He has regular appearances on Dr. Phil, The Doctors, and Fox 2 News. He also recently debated with Chris Kresser about the evidence in support of plant-based diets on the Joe Rogan Experience and has been featured with Larry King Live in a recent special about heart health.

He also owns 2 health restaurants in Detroit and a food truck in Austin, Texas. How he accomplishes all of this is a complete mystery to us, but suffice it to say that Dr. Kahn is a MACHINE, he’s our favorite stand-up comedian, and we’re honored to call him a friend.

In this episode of the Mastering Diabetes Audio Experience, we’ll cover:

An article he recently wrote in which he referred to low-carbohydrate diets as “high-coffin” diets, because there is ample scientific evidence that low-carbohydrate diets actually increase your risk for premature death.
Why, despite this, many health professionals teach people to INCREASE their intake of meat, cheese, fish, eggs, and vegetable oil, claiming that it’s the best way to “reverse” type 2 diabetes specifically because they are low in carbohydrate energy.
What benefits would someone gain from becoming a plant-based low-carbohydrate eater?
What are the exact benefits of short-term ketosis referenced by Dr. Valter Longo and how do those benefits change over time?
What happens to blood lipids and specifically LDL cholesterol following a plant-based low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet?
What happens to diabetes risk and blood glucose control following a plant-based low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet?
If there was ONE THING you could say to teach people the truth about nutrition to clear up the confusion that the Internet promotes, what would it be?

Meet Matt: T1D, 700 g carbs per day, 45 u insulin per day, 4.5% A1c. 💉 Matt was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2000.⁣ ⁣ Later in life, he found himself nearing 300 pounds, lacking energy, and unable to control his blood glucose. 🌱 A coworker of Matt’s who is plant-based began talking to him about diabetes control and the ability of a plant-based diet to help. After watching videos online from Nutritionfacts.org he and his wife decided to try eating plant-based for 30 days. After a week, and consuming as many documentaries and podcasts as they could, they decided they could never go back. They both felt great and Matt noticed the amazing blood glucose control. “I transitioned from a low-carb diet to a high-carb diet and found my insulin per carb ratio was dramatically lower.

The Surprising Connection Between Everyday Toxins and Insulin Resistance, PCOS, Endometriosis and Weight Gain - E96 Apr 21, 2020

Today we are excited to be joined by Dr. Vivian Chen.

Dr. Chen has 14 years of experience as a doctor in the UK. She trained in internal medicine and dermatology in London before moving into Family Practice.

Today’s show is a bit different than many of our others because our conversation with Dr. Vivian Chen focuses on food, but also on specific environmental contaminants that can increase your risk for insulin resistance as well as other metabolic diseases.

It’s true that excess saturated fat is one of the most potent and reliable triggers of insulin resistance, as many published studies have shown

But beyond the saturated fat equation, there are many other aspects of daily life that can increase your risk for IR, including:

- Weight gain
- A sedentary lifestyle
- Overconsumption of calories
- Living in a high stress environment
- A suppressed immune system, and
- Excess alcohol intake (to name a few)

In today’s show, we’ll talk with Dr. Vivian Chen about the role that chemicals in your environment play in “disrupting” your endocrine health

We’ll talk about animal foods, tupperware, plastic bags, receipts, packaged food products, plastic water bottles, flame retardants, fish, and much much more

Hydrogenation vs. Saturation vs. Unsaturation – All Fat is Not Created Equal – E88 Feb 04, 2020

In the world of nutrition we hear about what we should eat and what not to eat, how much to eat and so on and so forth. The internet is ripe with nutrition information and voices that contradict each other, especially when it comes to the consumption of dietary fat. We are one of those voices trying to educate you on the importance of eating a low-fat, plant based, whole food diet.

The consumption of excess fat can lead to the deposition or the accumulation of excess fat inside of your liver and muscle and how that can impair the ability of insulin to do it’s job and when that happens you increase the risk for the development of insulin resistance. Today we are going to do a deep dive in to different types of fat inside of your diet because the truth is that all fat is not created equal.

The fat that you eat comes in either the form of a trans-fat, saturated fat or as unsaturated fat and they all play diverse roles in your body. They can either promote chronic diseases or help reverse chronic diseases. It’s a mistake to lump all fat together and say fat is bad for you and that is why we recorded this podcast episode, to discuss the nuances of this topic.

If you are looking for more information please visit our website at https://www.masteringdiabetes.org to learn evidence-based science and get free recipes and listen to free podcast episodes. You can also watch videos of people living with all types of diabetes and you can hear them tell their inspirational stories of improving their diabetes health for the first time in their life.

Part 4: The Incredible Benefits of the Mastering Diabetes Method (Get Your Best A1c Workshop) - E70 Jul 15, 2019

Part 3: How Carbohydrates Actually Behave in Your Blood, Muscles, and Liver (Get Your Best A1c Workshop) - E69 Jul 14, 2019

In this episode you’ll learn what makes whole carbohydrates and refined carbohydrates fundamentally different than each other, and why this simple distinction can improve your overall health dramatically. No joke.

In today’s world, if carbohydrates were on trial, they’d be given a life sentence for harming millions of people around the world. But is that really true? What does science actually say about the role of carbohydrates when living with diabetes (and why should you care)? It’s simple. Whole carbohydrate-rich foods are some of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, and minimizing or avoiding them can seriously impact your long-term health. But eating them while controlling your blood glucose like a champ will actually improve your overall health. It's true.

So sit back, grab a mango (or 5), and enjoy!

Part 2: How Insulin Resistant Are You? The Opportunity for Transformation is Here (Get Your Best A1c Workshop) - E68 Jul 12, 2019

We’ve got another lesson for you…this one covers a lot of ground, and teaches you some easy-to-understand biochemistry which can change the way you think about your overall health.

This lesson covers the truth about the true cause of insulin resistance (and it may not be what you think).

In this video, we’ll discuss:

The true cause of insulin resistance (Answer: fatty foods)
Why insulin is not the enemy (Answer: it’s 100% necessary for life)
Does insulin cause weight gain? (Answer: no)
How a single high-fat meal impacts insulin resistance (Answer: it blocks insulin signaling)
How to figure out your level of insulin resistance (Answer: take the insulin resistance quiz)

Unfortunately, millions of people around the world don’t know what actually causes their blood glucose to fluctuate, and this information helped us both achieve non-diabetic A1c values and can do the same for you.

It’s already happened to more than 3,000 of our members.

The video covers a lot of ground, including the root cause of high A1c values and blood glucose fluctuations. Once you understand this information and how it applies to YOUR body, you’ll set yourself up to achieve your best A1c ever.

C-peptide — The Secret Test That Saved Anna’s Life - E64 Jun 11, 2019

C-peptide test is an important test that is largely unknown. When people think of the most important test for diabetes, they usually think of the A1c test. But a c-peptide test is actually more important in many cases because it can help a person find out if they are living with type 1.5 diabetes or if they are living with insulin dependent type 2 diabetes. C-peptide is commonly used for the very clear distinction between type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.

C-peptide is released into the blood as a byproduct of the production of insulin. This substance can be a game changer for many people living with diabetes. In this video you will see how Ann discovering her c-peptide saved her life. We have seen this happen in other clients as well. If you don't know your c-peptide level and are having trouble controlling your blood glucose, it may be a good idea to get it tested.
