An inspiring interview with Danielle Batiste on beating denial, losing 40+ pounds, and using a book on diabetes to take control. Learn real tools for A1C, nutrition, exercise, and remission—proof that type 2 diabetes isn’t a death sentence but a new start.

Discover a natural hunger suppressant toolkit: sleep to balance ghrelin/leptin, hydrate, start with veggie soup, load plates with protein, fiber, and non-starchy veggies, eat slowly, and manage stress. Work with hormones like GLP-1, PYY, and CCK for lasting fullness.

Discover the real meaning behind symptoms of type 2 diabetes—fatigue, thirst, blurry vision, weight gain—and how the 5-step remission algorithm (Awareness, Audit, Action, Accountability, Adaptation) can turn early signs into type 2 diabetes remission.

This episode explains why insulin sliding scale keeps you chasing highs and how to switch to a proactive plan: basal for fasting, bolus for meals, prebolus timing, and short post-meal walks. Learn about over basalization and simple steps for steadier sugars.

We unpack Diabetes 1.5 (LADA)—why it’s often misdiagnosed as type 2, key signs to watch, the tests to request (GAD and C-peptide), and why early insulin and tools like CGMs matter—so you can protect beta cells, avoid DKA, and get the right care fast.

In this eye-opening episode of The Diabetes Podcast, we make the case for carbohydrates—especially for people navigating low carb diabetes. We unpack the real history of keto, why early weight loss is mostly water, and why most “keto” eaters aren’t actually in ketosis. You’ll learn the difference between safe nutritional ketosis and dangerous diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), how metabolic flexibility helps you switch smoothly between fat and glucose, and why long-term low carb can backfire when carbs return. We spotlight the power of whole, fiber-rich carbs—beans, whole grains, fruits, and veggies—to boost natural GLP-1, steady blood sugar, and deliver key vitamins, minerals, and disease-fighting phytochemicals. We also cover why high saturated fat diets can raise LDL and heart risk, and why the best-researched patterns for diabetes and longevity—Mediterranean, DASH, and Whole Food Plant-Based—are carb-inclusive. Bottom line: carbs aren’t the problem; ultra-processed junk is. Reclaim carbs to fuel energy, support gut health, and build a long-term plan for remission.

Ultra processed foods are everywhere—cheap, tasty, and hard to stop eating—but you’re not the problem. In this clear, no‑shame episode, we explain what ultra processed foods are (using the simple NOVA groups 1–4), why they drive cravings, spike blood sugar, and raise insulin resistance, and how to spot them fast on a label. We break down high fructose corn syrup vs sugar, seed oils vs tallow fries, and processed meat, plus the study showing people ate about 500 extra calories a day on ultra processed foods and the link to higher type 2 diabetes risk. Then we share easy swaps, simple meal prep, and a plan you can start today. Get your energy, focus, and food freedom back—one real‑food choice at a time.

In this Diabetes Podcast episode, Richie and Amber break down Nutrient Density in simple, real-life terms—what it is, why it beats “eat less” diets, and how it helps steady blood sugar, cut cravings, and keep you full. You’ll hear why empty calories spike and crash energy, how beans beat donuts, which nutrients most people miss (magnesium, potassium, vitamin D, iron, B12, fiber), and the easy “add, don’t subtract” moves that boost Nutrient Density fast. We compare two 1,600‑calorie days, share the “eat food that rots” rule (fresh or fresh‑frozen is great), show how to build a fiber‑forward plate, and explain why leading with nutrient-dense foods can nudge insulin resistance in the right direction—without extremes.

Fiber is the New Protein on The Diabetes Podcast! In this eye-opening episode, Richie and Amber show why Fiber—not more protein—moves the needle for blood sugar, weight, hunger, heart health, and long-term wellness. You’ll learn how Fiber slows digestion, flattens glucose spikes, lowers LDL cholesterol, feeds your good gut bugs, and turns on fullness hormones like GLP-1—big wins without pricey meds. We keep it simple and real: most Americans get 10–15 grams of Fiber a day, but 25–35 grams is the minimum, and 50 grams is even better for type 2 diabetes and heart health. Get easy, low-cost Fiber swaps you can use today—like adding 1/2 cup of beans, oats, chia seeds, and whole grains—plus tips to go slow, drink water, and read labels. If you want steady energy, fewer cravings, and better numbers, start with Fiber and feel the difference.

If Charcot Foot has been mentioned to you—or you support someone with diabetes—don’t miss this.

Feeling stuck after a rushed doctor visit? In this Diabetes Podcast episode, we call out Clinical Inertia—the stall in care that keeps A1C high—and show you how to break free. Richie and Amber explain why short visits and competing problems leave you without a plan, why delays drive risk, and why “more meds” without lifestyle change won’t fix insulin resistance. We keep it simple and real: protect your beta cells early, aim for your A1C goals, and take small daily steps that work—like a 2-minute walk after meals, cutting added sugar, better sleep, and less stress. You’ll learn the best window for remission, what to ask for, and how to own your health between visits. Clinical Inertia is common, but it’s not your fate. You deserve a plan, a partner, and real progress.

In this power-packed episode of The Diabetes Podcast, Richie and Amber pull back the curtain on Inflammation and oxidative stress—the hidden forces that speed up type 2 diabetes—and show you how to cool the fire fast. In simple, clear steps, they explain how Inflammation hurts muscles, liver (fatty liver/NAFLD), fat tissue, the gut, kidneys, brain, and the pancreas’ beta cells, and how oxidative stress (cell “rust”) feeds the cycle. You’ll learn easy wins: a plant‑rich, fiber‑forward plate, omega‑3s, color-heavy produce, daily movement, better sleep, and stress relief. They cover helpful labs (CRP, fasting insulin, waist‑to‑hip), smart meds (metformin, GLP‑1s, SGLT2s, TZDs, statins), and why 5–10% weight loss and adiponectin matter for remission. Inflammation shows up early and everywhere—but your daily choices can turn the tide. Take courage: small steps, real results, metabolic health.
