You'll hear from Tami, who lost more than 35 pounds, dropped her A1c to a non-diabetic 5.3%, and completely eliminated Metformin. Not only is she medication free, she's more energetic than she's been in years.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

Take the quiz to measure your level of insulin resistance:

Show notes

In our coaching program, we talk to so many women who have lived with Gestational Diabetes or first learned about their diabetes when they were pregnant. In this episode Dr Newman will answer questions like, "if someone were to find out that they have gestational diabetes, would you recommend adopting a plant-based diet during pregnancy to help improve their blood glucose?" and "is it true that a plant-based diet during pregnancy is dangerous because the mom and baby will be deprived of essential nutrients including things like calcium, EFAs, folate, and iron?"

If you are living with gestational diabetes, know someone who is or if you have ever wondered how to raise a child on a plant-based diet, you do not want to miss this episode!

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

Show notes

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.
