Menopause is more than hot flashes and mood swings. For many women, it also brings changes to blood sugar, metabolism, and weight that can feel confusing and frustrating. 

In this episode, Dr Jedha explores the science behind why menopause affects blood sugar and why so many women notice stubborn belly fat, stronger cravings, or rising fasting glucose during this stage of life.

Whether you’re living with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, or you’re simply concerned about prevention, you’ll learn how declining estrogen impacts insulin sensitivity, muscle, fat storage and even sleep, and how all of these shifts combine to influence blood sugar control.

Most importantly, Dr Jedha shares practical, evidence-based strategies you can start using right away. From nutrition to exercise to lifestyle habits, you’ll walk away with tools to feel more in control during the menopause transition.

In this episode, Dr. Jedha sets the record straight.

More importantly, you’ll discover what these patterns mean, and how pinpointing your type could unlock smarter, more personalized strategies to reverse the trend toward type 2 diabetes.

This is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or confused by your lab results. You’ll walk away with more clarity and confidence to take targeted steps to change your prediabetes health, because once you know your type, you can finally focus on what your body truly needs.

Type 2 diabetes used to be called “adult-onset diabetes.” Not anymore. Today, one in three American teens has prediabetes, and diagnoses of type 2 diabetes are climbing rapidly in youths — high schoolers, young adults in their twenties and thirties, and even in children. 

When diabetes strikes young, it doesn’t just start earlier, it progresses faster, becomes more aggressive, and leads to serious complications much sooner.

In this episode, Dr. Jedha unpacks the shocking new statistics from the CDC and global research, explores why this epidemic is accelerating among young people, and reveals what the latest studies tell us about their heightened risks, from early blood vessel damage to kidney, eye, and heart complications appearing in their twenties. You’ll also hear about the debate over medications in youth, and most importantly, the powerful role of prevention, lifestyle, and family support.

If you’re a parent, grandparent, teacher, or simply someone concerned about the health of the next generation, this conversation will open your eyes. It’s not just a problem for the future, it’s happening now. Early action works and together we can help turn the tide!

For years, butter has been blamed for heart disease and margarine praised as the healthier choice. But is that advice actually grounded in solid science, especially when it comes to type 2 diabetes or prediabetes? 

In this episode, we cut through decades of confusion and explore the latest research on how butter and margarine affect diabetic management, blood sugar, insulin resistance, cholesterol, and long-term metabolic health.

You’ll learn why butter isn’t the villain it was once made out to be, what makes margarine and refined seed oils more concerning, and how the natural dairy-fat matrix changes how your body processes fat. We question using Smart Balance instead of butter, and discuss whether spreads with added plant sterols are really the solution they claim to be.

If you’ve ever wondered whether margarine or butter is best for diabetics, this episode gives you the clear, science-backed answers you need.
