25/11/14 Sugar, Sugar Everywhere

Loading player...
Welcome back to The Integrow Health Podcast — where we poke holes in mainstream health advice and occasionally set the entire system on fire.

Today’s episode is dedicated to World Diabetes Day — because apparently we need a holiday to remind the world that one in ten adults is now walking around with Type 2 Diabetes (and the other nine are probably pre-diabetic and eyeing the snack table).

Here’s the uncomfortable truth no one’s talking about:
Type 2 diabetes isn’t a disease of not enough insulin.
It’s a disease of too much insulin.
And yet, the standard medical “solution” is… more insulin.
That’s like trying to put out a house fire with petrol and saying, “Trust me, I’m a professional.”

In this explosive episode, we unpack:
* Why Type 2 Diabetes should’ve been called “Anti-Diabetes”
* How lowering blood sugar without fixing insulin is a metabolic booby trap
* The sneaky ways modern meds — including the latest “magic weight-loss shots” — can make things worse
* The simple steps that have helped 1,000+ people reverse insulin resistance and ditch the diagnosis for good
* Why your brain fog, bloating, and stubborn fat may have less to do with carbs and more to do with insulin overload

You’ll also hear:

* Why sugar and starches are public enemy #1
* How fasting and sleep can reset your metabolism faster than any pill
* The best supplements for T2D support (Vitamin D3, magnesium, chromium — and a special shoutout to the Cancer Bush / Sutherlandia herb)

And what it actually means to live in fat-burning mode instead of “I’m just tired and hungry” mode

Because here’s the truth:
You’re not broken.
You’re not weak.
You’ve just been trapped inside a medical system that treats the symptom, not the cause.
