In this powerful episode, Dr. Brad Montagne uncovers one of the least understood truths about diabetes. It’s not just about sugar, diet, or genetics, it’s about your adrenal glands. When chronic toxicity overstimulates the adrenals, they flood your system with cortisol and adrenaline, triggering dangerous spikes in blood sugar and inflammation that set the stage for diabetes.

Dr. Brad explains how this hidden adrenal-driven process unfolds step by step, from gut toxicity to cellular damage, and why simply managing blood sugar misses the real cause. If you’ve struggled with fatigue, blood sugar swings, or unexplained inflammation, this episode is a must-listen.

✨ Your blood sugar doesn’t rise on its own. It’s your adrenals responding to a toxic, stressed-out body. The same hormones designed to protect you in danger are now destroying your energy, blood vessels, and long-term health. Healing diabetes starts with healing your adrenals, detoxifying your system, and restoring gut integrity. Fix the cause, not the symptom, that’s how you reclaim your health.
