Research is revealing that the one-hour blood sugar reading after eating may be one of the most important and overlooked markers of metabolic health. In this episode, Dr Jedha breaks down the science behind the One-Hour Glucose Test and why it’s gaining attention as an early indicator of diabetes risk.

You’ll learn how the one-hour glucose spike reflects insulin function and metabolic stress, why it often rises years before traditional tests change, and the key research-backed threshold that keeps showing up across studies. We also explore what higher one-hour blood sugar levels mean for people with normal glucose, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes, including links to progression risk, cardiovascular health, and long-term complications.

Most importantly, Dr Jedha explains how you can use simple at-home monitoring to identify glucose spikes and make practical nutrition and lifestyle adjustments that can lead to meaningful health improvements.

Did you know you can retrain your body to be more sensitive to insulin, and in doing so, naturally lower your blood sugar, improve your metabolism, and protect your long-term health? That’s exactly what we’re unpacking in this episode.

We explore the science and strategies behind improving insulin sensitivity, one of the most important steps for reversing prediabetes and type 2 diabetes and restoring metabolic health.

You’ll learn which foods support insulin function, which ones sabotage it, and how to take simple, evidence-based steps in your daily life that can make a measurable difference. From macronutrients to sleep, stress, lifestyle and supplements, we’ll unpack what actually works (and what doesn’t), so you can improve your insulin sensitivity naturally.

Let’s rebuild your insulin sensitivity, step by step, meal by meal, habit by habit!

In this episode we’re zeroing in on the hidden engine that drives the progression of diabetes and every complication in diabetes: an altered metabolism and the systemic metabolic disruption that occurs in the body. 

We explore the interesting story of how the carb-fat-protein pathways collide and can throw the whole body out of sync. When glucose, lipids and amino acids all go a bit crazy, they feed each other, fuel inflammation, and set the stage for blood sugar imbalances, complications like neuropathy, retinopathy and eye issues, kidney problems or disease, stubborn weight gain, through to issues like heart disease.

We also discuss simple strategies to reverse metabolic roadblocks and improve diabetes health.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything you’ve been told for blood sugar control, yet your numbers still won’t budge, this episode will make things click. For the first time in years, U.S. dietary guidelines have shifted toward real metabolic science, prioritizing protein, whole foods, and acknowledging lower-carbohydrate approaches, while diabetes care guidelines remain vague and largely unchanged. That disconnect matters, and it explains much of the confusion people feel around food and diabetes.

In this episode, Dr Jedha explains what’s changed in national nutrition policy, what hasn’t changed in diabetes guidelines, and why nutrition without structure fails to lower A1c. You’ll gain clear insight into what actually works, why the advice you’ve been given may have failed you, and what to focus on instead for practical, sustainable results.

In this episode, Dr Jedha revisits Curtis’s remarkable health journey and the evidence-based methods behind his results, and shares a rare opportunity made possible by his generosity. We’re opening the door for a small number of listeners to experience the same structured support that helped Curtis dramatically improve his health.

Curtis’s story isn’t about luck or shortcuts. It’s about what can happen when the right information, practical tools, and ongoing support come together in a way that’s grounded in science and designed for real life.

Because Curtis wanted others to have access to that same opportunity, he offered to fund two full VIP memberships, and we’ve matched his offer to make four full-year memberships available to listeners who are ready to actively engage and put the process into practice.

If you’ve been looking for clarity, structure, and support — and you’re willing to use it — this is your chance to apply.

Did you know that living with type 2 diabetes can increase your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by up to 150%? Some researchers have even started calling it “type 3 diabetes,” a term that points to the powerful connection between insulin resistance, blood sugar and brain health.

In this episode, we cover what type 3 diabetes really means, why scientists are exploring this link, and what it could mean for you. You’ll learn how insulin resistance in the brain leads to plaques, tangles, inflammation and energy failure, and most importantly, what you can do to lower your risk.

From practical nutrition strategies to emerging research on the gut-brain connection, this conversation gives you evidence-based tools for prevention. Because what’s good for your blood sugar is also good for your brain!

When Karol was told she had prediabetes, she was shocked. With a strong family history of diabetes, she knew what was at stake, yet the advice she was given felt vague and unhelpful. Determined to avoid medications and blood tests, she turned to diet as her treatment, and the results speak for themselves.

In this episode, Karol shares how she lowered her A1c from 5.8 to 5.3, improved her cholesterol, and even eliminated painful leg symptoms that her doctors could not explain. Along the way, she discovered that food changes not only restored her health but also inspired her husband and daughters to join in, creating lasting benefits for the whole family.

You’ll hear how clarity, consistency, and the right nutrition plan made all the difference for Karol, and why diet is one of the most powerful tools we have for treating prediabetes. Her story is proof that small, consistent changes can deliver big results.
