Think your pancreas controls your blood sugar? Think again. Sarah Williams breaks down the shocking truth about how your body actually manages glucose - and why most people are focusing on the wrong organ entirely.
On Fuel Different, we uncover how your liver handles 80% of blood sugar control during fasting, explore why you need a massive 4,700 mg of potassium daily (that's 7 cups of vegetables), and reveal how Type 2 diabetes actually starts in your liver, not your pancreas. You'll discover why your blood sugar must stay in an incredibly tight range of just 80-120 mg/dL, learn simple dietary fixes most doctors don't mention, and understand the real science behind insulin resistance. This isn't your typical nutrition advice - it's what actually happens inside your body.
