This is my appearance on The ScaleX™ Insider Podcast with Brendan McGurgan

This was a very enjoyable conversation with a wonderful interviewer; so hopefully you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it.

In it we talk about the mindset approach I took when leaving teaching to building and growing a fitness business, the importance of accountability and how you can cut your learning curve by learning from others.

Current medical wisdom advises that anyone suffering from diabetes or prediabetes should eat a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. But in this paradigm shifting book, they go through a century of research to reveal how that advice is misguided.

If you fall anywhere on the diabetes spectrum, this is a must listen.

Here are some of the things we talked about:

· The different types of diabetes and prediabetes

· How the conventional wisdom of a low carb, high fat diet is misguided

· Why food is medicine and what they recommend for reversing insulin resistance.

· How their personal experience with diabetes inspired their lifestyle choices.

· The green, yellow and red food choice list for reversing insulin resistance
