The Healthy Shift Worker

HSW 123 - Type 2 Diabetes, Real Food and Eye Health with Dr James Muecke


Listen Later

In this episode I had the honour of chatting with ophthalmologist and 2020 Australian of the year recipient Dr James Muecke on all things metabolic dysfunction, diabetes and eye health.

Given shift work is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, and many shift workers are insulin resistant and/or pre-diabetic, but don't even know it - this is a MUST LISTEN.

Topics Include:


- How real food and dietary change can potentially reverse type 2 diabetes and reverse the blinding complications associated with the disease.
- The alarming lack of nutrition education in medical schools, and why it's imperative to incorporate metabolic health into the curriculum.
- Why regular eye checks are crucial for people with diabetes to detect and manage diabetic retinopathy.
- How therapeutic carbohydrate reduction can improve metabolic health and reduce the need for injections in people with diabetes.
- The scientific and anecdotal evidence of how eating real, unprocessed food is key to preventing metabolic dysfunction and improving overall health.
