The Highly Toxic "Foods" Even the Healthiest Eaters are Still Consuming ... cosmetics / personal care products are the most prevalent little-known worst-offenders of toxins today. They're the most unregulated industry in the U.S., and have been since the FDA told them to self-regulate in 1938. In the European Union, 1300 chemicals are banned from cosmetics but not in the U.S. When you apply these products to your body, you are essentially eating many of the chemicals. Unlike foods you put in your mouth, though, there are no liver and other cleansing systems in place so they can go straight into the bloodstream. Using these products day after day, decade after decade is a problem. Because so many known endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, and chemicals linked to other diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and beyond are prevalent, there are smarter ways to feed your body far cleaner such "foods." ------------------- Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss future episodes!

Learn the secrets to radically improving your health from “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll, who lost 265 pounds and kept it off! At Chuck's heaviest, he weighed 420 pounds and had amassed a 66-inch waist while requiring a size 6xl shirt. Fearing that his life was spiraling out of control and nearing an end, he opted to undergo weight loss surgery. Prior to the procedure he was convinced that the drastic measure would become like all the other failed attempts to lose weight. At least, he thought, he could go to his grave confident that he tried everything. Chuck was just 27 years old at the time and didn’t think he would live to see 30. But then the unexpected happened. He woke up from the surgery and never looked back. Although a critical component, the surgery proved only to be the first step in his journey. In fact, he only attributes 10 percent of his weight loss success to the procedure. In just over a year, Chuck shed 265 pounds by conquering food addiction and devoting himself to a healthier lifestyle. He’s now maintaining weight loss by eating a plant-based diet. Going plant-based once seemed unthinkable to Chuck, but now it’s going back to eating processed meat and dairy that would be inconceivable. The confidence he gained from the weight loss enabled him to pursue his dream of becoming a sports reporter. He has hosted a number of radio shows with NFL players. One of the players gave him the nickname “The Weight Loss Champion” after news of his transformation spread through the locker room. In this episode, we chat with Chuck about: Breaking food addiction Sustaining weight loss His eating habits growing up His failed diet attempts When he realized he was addicted to food His emotional experiences of being 420 pounds The secret to keeping the weight off Where a lot of people go wrong when trying to lose weight and much more Resources: Follow Chuck on Twitter and Instagram Listen to Chuck's Podcast Visit Chuck's website   Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss future episodes!

We are excited to be joined by Dr. Joel Kahn. Dr. Kahn is a cardiologist and a Clinical Professor of Medicine at Wayne State University School of Medicine and a Summa Cum Laude graduate from the University of Michigan Medical School.  He’s known as “America’s Holistic Heart Doc,” and has authored many peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. He writes articles for MindBodyGreen, Thrive Global, and Reader’s Digest and has five books in publication including The Whole Heart Solution, Dead Execs Don’t Get Bonuses as well as The Plant-Based Solution.  He has regular appearances on Dr. Phil, The Doctors, and Fox 2 News.

How he accomplishes all of this is a complete mystery to us, but suffice it to say that Dr. Kahn is a MACHINE, he’s our favorite stand-up comedian, and we’re honored to call him a friend. In this episode of the Mastering Diabetes Audio Experience, we’ll cover: An article he recently wrote in which he referred to low-carbohydrate diets as “high-coffin” diets, because there is ample scientific evidence that low-carbohydrate diets actually increase your risk for premature death.  Why, despite this, many health professionals teach people to INCREASE their intake of meat, cheese, fish, eggs, and vegetable oil, claiming that it’s the best way to “reverse” type 2 diabetes specifically because they are low in carbohydrate energy. What benefits would someone gain from becoming a plant-based low-carbohydrate eater? What are the exact benefits of short-term ketosis referenced by Dr. Valter Longo and how do those benefits change over time? What happens to blood lipids and specifically LDL cholesterol following a plant-based low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet? What happens to diabetes risk and blood glucose control following a plant-based low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet? If there was ONE THING you could say to teach people the truth about nutrition to clear up the confusion that the Internet promotes, what would it be? You can find Dr. Joel Khan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjkahn/ And on his website: https://www.drjoelkahn.com/ If you enjoyed this episode please join us and Dr. Joel Khan in spreading the word about the benefits of plant-based nutrition by sharing this episode on social media and tagging us - @masteringdiabetes

Meet Matt: T1D, 700 g carbs per day, 45 u insulin per day, 4.5% A1c. 💉 Matt was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2000.⁣ ⁣ Later in life, he found himself nearing 300 pounds, lacking energy, and unable to control his blood glucose. 🌱 A coworker of Matt’s who is plant-based began talking to him about diabetes control and the ability of a plant-based diet to help. After watching videos online from Nutritionfacts.org he and his wife decided to try eating plant-based for 30 days. After a week, and consuming as many documentaries and podcasts as they could, they decided they could never go back. They both felt great and Matt noticed the amazing blood glucose control. “I transitioned from a low-carb diet to a high-carb diet and found my insulin per carb ratio was dramatically lower. I was eating 125g of carbs per day beforehand and using about 35 units of insulin, and now I eat upwards of 500-700g carbs and use around 45-50 units per day.”
 Before and after going plant-based: Fasting Blood Glucose (mg/dL): 110 - 88⁣ A1c (%): 7.2 - 4.5 Weight (lbs.): 270 - 194 Cholesterol (mg): 170 - 149 Fat p/day (g): 50 - 30 Carbohydrates p/day (g): 125 - 500-700 Total Units Insulin (ml): 35-40 - 45-50 ⁣ 90% Time in range “My transition was first started due to interest for health reasons but quickly transitioned to an ethical and health reason. I am also an amateur athlete and have completed several long-distance races including full-distance Iron Man, ultra marathon, 24-hour OCR, marathon- all while being plant-based and obviously diabetic. Never once have I worried about blood glucose control and I have never had issues with training or racing.” You can follow Matt's journey on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ironmans_and_insulin/ And be sure to share this podcast episode on your Instagram stories and tag us @masteringdiabetes

Mark your calendar for April 11-13. We’ll be hosting a special online mini-summit about COVID-19 and diabetes. Register with the link below! https://www.masteringdiabetes.org/thrive/ In today’s show, we had the opportunity to interview Adam and Shoshana of the Plant Trainers Podcast, a husband-and-wife combo and incredibly inspirational individuals who are helping to spread the word about the power of plant-based nutrition. You’ll learn Adam’s powerful story about getting diagnosed with a kidney tumor before he began eating a plant-based diet, even though he was an avid athlete and had a great physique on the outside. You’ll learn how Adam’s eye doctor first discovered a cardiovascular condition by looking at the condition of blood vessels behind his eyes. You’ll also learn about how it took time for Shoshana to transition to a plant-based diet even though Adam was experiencing tremendous results in the first year of becoming plant-based. But then when she did, her entire life changed in front of her eyes – and as a result, she took it upon herself to help transition their two kids to a plant-based diet (which they are admittedly infatuated with). In today’s show, you’ll learn how to support your partner in transitioning to a plant-based diet.

Cyrus and I are both living with type 1 diabetes and experienced remarkable improvements in our insulin sensitivity, energy levels and overall health after adopting the Mastering Diabetes Method which we’ve both been following for a combined 29 years.  Our improvement in insulin sensitivity has decreased or risk for developing common chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and kidney disease. Additionally, living in an insulin-sensitive state allows us to control our blood glucose with precision and live active, joyful lives!  We address all this and much, more in our brand new book titled Mastering Diabetes. I could not be more excited to announce to you all that the book hit #6 on the New York Times Bestseller list and is also a USA Today, Publishers Weekly and Audible bestseller! We worked on this book for over 2 years. It’s a true masterpiece and we are just incredibly proud of it. We tell our personal stories in great detail, we cover the science of insulin resistance in a way that is easy to understand yet incredibly thorough. There are over 800+ citations, 30 recipes, two 21-day meals and so much more. It’s a true road map for maximizing your insulin sensitivity. The hardcover can be purchases anywhere books are sold. The digital version can be found on Kindle, Apple Books Nook and other digital readers. We also read our own audiobook which is available on Audible, Google Play and anywhere audiobooks can be purchased. We also added bonus material before each chapter in our audiobook which was really fun.  If you are on the fence about buying the book, I highly suggest you go to Amazon.com and read the reviews. And grab a tissue because there are some tear jerkers in there.

What foods promote optimal microbiome health?  What are short chain fatty acids? What do they do, where are they made, what tissues do they affect?  What foods increase intestinal permeability?  Why are bacterial endotoxins? Where do they come from? How do they affect the lining of your large intestine? What negative effects do they create?  How does the microbiome affect diabetes health? Type 1 diabetes? Blood glucose control? Insulin secretion?  How fiber helps with gut function? How does fiber affect BG control?  We talk about GI issues such as SIBO, IBS, gastroparesis, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.

In Episode 90 Simon Hill of The Plant Proof Podcast had us on his show to chat about Diabetes (Type 1, 1a, Pre, and Type 2) and the role that nutrition plays on insulin resistance. We go through the body of scientific literature and explain what causes insulin resistance and how to actually reverse it. Specifically we cover: Our personal journeys with Type 1 Diabetes Pathophysiology of Insulin Resistance Difference between low carb ketogenic type diets for Insulin Resistance and High Carb Low Fat diets Why Keto diets can promote insulin resistance (poorer ability to handle carbohydrates) What truly reversing insulin resistance actually means - specifically the the difference between reversing insulin resistance and managing blood glucose control Common diabetic complications and why reversing insulin resistance is so important Nutrition for reversing insulin resistance & diabetic complications (the practical stuff) and so much more Strap yourselves in this is a long one (2.5 hours) but we guarantee by the end of it you will have learned so much about Diabetes and finally understand the mechanism that causes insulin resistance and how to reverse it and improve health outcomes. Not only is this understanding important for people with Diabetes but really anyone looking to better their health, particularly anyone who is overweight (millions of people have undiagnosed pre diabetes). Insulin resistance is a spectrum and eating to promote optimal glucose tolerance means you will be able to enjoy some of the most healthful food groups in the world associated with longevity. If you have any comments or questions, Simon, (@plant_proof) and  we, Robby and Cyrus (@masteringdiabetes) would love to hear from you.

In the world of nutrition we hear about what we should eat and what not to eat, how much to eat and so on and so forth. The internet is ripe with nutrition information and voices that contradict each other, especially when it comes to the consumption of dietary fat. We are one of those voices trying to educate you on the importance of eating a low-fat, plant based, whole food diet. The consumption of excess fat can lead to the deposition or the accumulation of excess fat inside of your liver and muscle and how that can impair the ability of insulin to do it’s job and when that happens you increase the risk for the development of insulin resistance. Today we are going to do a deep dive in to different types of fat inside of your diet because the truth is that all fat is not created equal. The fat that you eat comes in either the form of a trans-fat, saturated fat or as unsaturated fat and they all play diverse roles in your body. They can either promote chronic diseases or help reverse chronic diseases. It’s a mistake to lump all fat together and say fat is bad for you and that is why we recorded this podcast episode, to discuss the nuances of this topic. If you are looking for more information please visit our website at https://www.masteringdiabetes.org to learn evidence-based science and get free recipes and listen to free podcast episodes. You can also watch videos of people living with all types of diabetes and you can hear them tell their inspirational stories of improving their diabetes health for the first time in their life.

In this episode you’ll learn what makes whole carbohydrates and refined carbohydrates fundamentally different than each other, and why this simple distinction can improve your overall health dramatically. No joke. In today’s world, if carbohydrates were on trial, they’d be given a life sentence for harming millions of people around the world. But is that really true? What does science actually say about the role of carbohydrates when living with diabetes (and why should you care)? It’s simple. Whole carbohydrate-rich foods are some of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, and minimizing or avoiding them can seriously impact your long-term health. But eating them while controlling your blood glucose like a champ will actually improve your overall health. It's true. So sit back, grab a mango (or 5), and enjoy!

We’ve got another lesson for you…this one covers a lot of ground, and teaches you some easy-to-understand biochemistry which can change the way you think about your overall health. This lesson covers the truth about the true cause of insulin resistance (and it may not be what you think). In this video, we’ll discuss: The true cause of insulin resistance (Answer: fatty foods) Why insulin is not the enemy (Answer: it’s 100% necessary for life) Does insulin cause weight gain? (Answer: no) How a single high-fat meal impacts insulin resistance (Answer: it blocks insulin signaling) How to figure out your level of insulin resistance (Answer: take the insulin resistance quiz) Unfortunately, millions of people around the world don’t know what actually causes their blood glucose to fluctuate, and this information helped us both achieve non-diabetic A1c values and can do the same for you. It’s already happened to more than 3,000 of our members. The video covers a lot of ground, including the root cause of high A1c values and blood glucose fluctuations. Once you understand this information and how it applies to YOUR body, you’ll set yourself up to achieve your best A1c ever. Take the quiz to measure your level of insulin resistance: https://www.masteringdiabetes.org/transformation2/ To get on the waiting list for the Mastering Diabetes Coaching Program, please visit:  https://www.masteringdiabetes.org/coaching/

C-peptide test is an important test that is largely unknown. When people think of the most important test for diabetes, they usually think of the A1c test. But a c-peptide test is actually more important in many cases because it can help a person find out if they are living with type 1.5 diabetes or if they are living with insulin dependent type 2 diabetes. C-peptide is commonly used for the very clear distinction between type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. C-peptide is released into the blood as a byproduct of the production of insulin. This substance can be a game changer for many people living with diabetes. In this video you will see how Ann discovering her c-peptide saved her life. We have seen this happen in other clients as well. If you don't know your c-peptide level and are having trouble controlling your blood glucose, it may be a good idea to get it tested.
