The Stunning Gut–Diabetes Connection (Type 1 and Type 2) – E92 Mar 17, 2020

Show notes

Cyrus and I are both living with type 1 diabetes and experienced remarkable improvements in our insulin sensitivity, energy levels and overall health after adopting the Mastering Diabetes Method which we've both been following for a combined 29 years.

Our improvement in insulin sensitivity has decreased or risk for developing common chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and kidney disease. Additionally, living in an insulin-sensitive state allows us to control our blood glucose with precision and live active, joyful lives!

We address all this and much, more in our brand new book titled Mastering Diabetes. I could not be more excited to announce to you all that the book hit #6 on the New York Times Bestseller list and is also a USA Today, Publishers Weekly and Audible bestseller!

We worked on this book for over 2 years. It's a true masterpiece and we are just incredibly proud of it. We tell our personal stories in great detail, we cover the science of insulin resistance in a way that is easy to understand yet incredibly thorough. There are over 800+ citations, 30 recipes, two 21-day meals and so much more. It's a true road map for maximizing your insulin sensitivity. The hardcover can be purchases anywhere books are sold. The digital version can be found on Kindle, Apple Books Nook and other digital readers. We also read our own audiobook which is available on Audible, Google Play and anywhere audiobooks can be purchased. We also added bonus material before each chapter in our audiobook which was really fun.

If you are on the fence about buying the book, I highly suggest you go to Amazon.com and read the reviews. And grab a tissue because there are some tear jerkers in there.

What are short chain fatty acids? What do they do, where are they made, what tissues do they affect?
What foods increase intestinal permeability?
Why are bacterial endotoxins? Where do they come from? How do they affect the lining of your large intestine? What negative effects do they create?
How does the microbiome affect diabetes health? Type 1 diabetes? Blood glucose control? Insulin secretion?
How fiber helps with gut function? How does fiber affect BG control?
We talk about GI issues such as SIBO, IBS, gastroparesis, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Is a plant-based diet an optimal choice for people with pre-existing GI dysfunction?

Truly Reversing Insulin Resistance & Type 2 Diabetes with Simon Hill from Plant Proof - E90 Feb 25, 2020

Show notes

In Episode 90 Simon Hill of The Plant Proof Podcast had us on his show to chat about Diabetes (Type 1, 1a, Pre, and Type 2) and the role that nutrition plays on insulin resistance. We go through the body of scientific literature and explain what causes insulin resistance and how to actually reverse it.

Specifically we cover:

Our personal journeys with Type 1 Diabetes
Pathophysiology of Insulin Resistance
Difference between low carb ketogenic type diets for Insulin Resistance and High Carb Low Fat diets
Why Keto diets can promote insulin resistance (poorer ability to handle carbohydrates)
What truly reversing insulin resistance actually means - specifically the the difference between reversing insulin resistance and managing blood glucose control
Common diabetic complications and why reversing insulin resistance is so important
Nutrition for reversing insulin resistance & diabetic complications (the practical stuff)
and so much more

Strap yourselves in this is a long one (2.5 hours) but we guarantee by the end of it you will have learned so much about Diabetes and finally understand the mechanism that causes insulin resistance and how to reverse it and improve health outcomes. Not only is this understanding important for people with Diabetes but really anyone looking to better their health, particularly anyone who is overweight (millions of people have undiagnosed pre diabetes). Insulin resistance is a spectrum and eating to promote optimal glucose tolerance means you will be able to enjoy some of the most healthful food groups in the world associated with longevity.

If you have any comments or questions, Simon, (@plant_proof) and we, Robby and Cyrus (@masteringdiabetes) would love to hear from you. Please tag us on social media or leave a quick review on iTunes.

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

Show notes

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.

We will send you a personal invitation to join the coaching program as soon as the next open enrollment period begins.

We would love for you to leave us a review on iTunes. The truth is every review counts and helps further our mission to spread the word about reversing insulin resistance in 1 million people. Please take two minutes, head to the iTunes Store on your phone or computer and leave a review for this podcast. We really appreciate it and look forward to reading your honest opinion.
