Dr Chalmers Path to Pro - Diabetes

This episode explores the flaws in the conventional medical approach to treating diabetes, focusing on the mismanagement of insulin resistance. Most doctors fail to address the root cause of diabetes—insulin levels—and instead focus on treating blood sugar, which is only a secondary factor. Effective treatment should prioritize pulling insulin levels and making dietary adjustments to reduce insulin resistance, ultimately helping to reverse Type 2 diabetes.

The discussion delves into how diets like keto and carnivore can drastically improve health by reducing sugar intake and promoting fat loss. By cutting carbohydrates and sugars, the body can naturally regulate its own glucose levels, leading to better energy, weight management, and even cognitive improvements in conditions like dementia. This sheds light on how a deeper understanding of insulin and nutrition can lead to more successful health outcomes than traditional medical practices.
