Sixty-four percent. That's how many hospital patients on high-dose steroids hit a blood sugar of 200 or higher in a University of Pittsburgh study.

Prednisone is a stronger, man-made version of cortisol, your own stress hormone. One of cortisol's jobs is telling your liver to push sugar into your blood. More than half of the patients with no history of diabetes hit 200 too.

If you're already insulin resistant, that spike can hit harder and last longer. I know high sugar. My A1c was 12.2 before I reversed my type 2 diabetes.

If your doctor has you on a steroid, keep taking it as prescribed and talk to them about watching your glucose. A CGM makes that easy. Then tilt the odds back your way:

Let's get healthy together.

Tiger Woods took golf seriously from the time he was a little kid. Michael Jordan found his stride later. Two very different starts, and the same thing underneath both of them: commitment.

Your health works the same way. One good day of eating won't change much. Showing up day after day is what changes things.

When I reversed my type 2 diabetes, there was no magic moment. I cut the sugar and the carbs, watched what my blood sugar did, and kept at it.

It doesn't matter if you start early or late. What matters is that you commit and keep going.

So what are you committing to this week? Let me know.

Let's get healthy together.

Three months of pent up rage, aggression, worry and ethical concerns in and around AI and LLMs. This is a bit of a ride, and it has our usual meandering vibe to it, but it brings up so many good questions that there aren't any good answers to. Underneath it all, yes, we know that there are environmental issues as well as ethical ones, but neither of those are stopping many from using the technology. So where do we go from here?

Plain black coffee might do more than wake you up. Coffee has a plant compound called chlorogenic acid, and studies suggest it may help your body respond better to insulin.

The key word is plain. Once you load it up with sugar, flavored syrups and sweet creamer, you're spiking your blood sugar and working against the very thing you wanted.

Want to know what your coffee really does to you? Wear a CGM and watch your glucose after a cup. Your own numbers tell the story.

When I reversed my type 2, it came down to cutting the sugar and carbs and paying close attention to what moved my blood sugar.

Could the ringing in your ears be a blood sugar problem?

Your inner ear burns a lot of fuel, so it is sensitive to swings in blood sugar and insulin. Researchers in Egypt followed 60 older adults with metabolic syndrome and constant ringing. Half walked on a treadmill and ate less for 12 weeks. Their ringing went from about a 7 out of 10 to under a 5, and their waists, blood sugar, triglycerides and blood pressure came down too. The group that changed nothing stayed the same.

It is a small study. But it fits what I lived: insulin resistance shows up everywhere. I had the desk job, the belly, high blood pressure and an A1c of 12.2%. I reversed it by going after the root, starting with my food.

If your ears ring and your waist is growing, get your hearing checked, ask your doctor about fasting glucose and insulin, and take a walk after meals.

Researchers in Japan gave 19 people with type 2 diabetes the same lunch on two different days. One day they sat through a dull 40-minute lecture. The next day they watched a 40-minute comedy show.

After the lecture, their blood sugar climbed about 123 points. After the comedy, it climbed about 77. Same food, and more than a third less of a spike.

It's a small study, so I don't want to oversell it. But it may make sense. Stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline push sugar into your blood and make insulin work harder, and living that way every day can feed insulin resistance.

Food is still the big lever. That's where I started, and it's how I got my own A1c back into the normal range. But I spent years in corporate life, and stress was part of my story too. I don't do that anymore, and it's made a big difference.

So here's your move today. Don't eat lunch hunched over stressful emails. Step away from the desk and put on something that makes you laugh.

I talk about the protocol I use to live stream videos and what I use to video conference.

When you cut way back on carbs, your body doesn't run out of fuel. It starts burning stored fat, and your liver turns some of that fat into ketones.

Ketones are a fuel your brain and muscles can run on when sugar isn't pouring in all day. That state is called ketosis. A lot of people say their energy and focus feel steadier once they get there, without the big crashes.

Fewer carbs and real food like meat, eggs and low-carb vegetables were a big part of how I reversed my type 2.

Kale gets all the credit for fiber. But let's be honest, most of us don't dream about eating it.

A cup of cooked broccoli has about 5 grams of fiber, and a cup of cooked Brussels sprouts has about 4. That's roughly double what you get from a cup of cooked kale. Saute the broccoli lightly in avocado oil, or roast the sprouts with your favorite seasoning. Or just pair them with your kale.

Fiber slows down how fast food hits your blood, and that's easier on your insulin. Low-carb green vegetables like these were on my plate all the time alongside meat and eggs while I reversed my type 2.
