For our first official episode, we are diving straight into a topic that has become an epidemic in the United States. Studies have shown that 88% of our population is metabolically unwell. Today we discuss the dangers of insulin dysregulation and the roles that intermittent fasting can play in the restoration of metabolic balance.  Addressing insulin dysregulation and blood sugar dysregulation is the key to preventing many of the diseases, conditions, and imbalances that so much of our population struggles with. Listen in as we challenge the common practices for testing and diagnosing diabetes, using new research.
