Have you seen the commercials for diabetic drugs where the patient says the drug âunlocks the insulin inside of meâ, and then you see people dancing and having a great time?
Sadly, that's not the reality.
Today we're talking about drugs like Victoza, Adlyxin, Trulicity, Ozempic which are weekly injections which sound wonderful that you only have to take a shot once a week! â keep in mind this is not insulin... and other drugs such as Rybelsus, Januvia, Tradjenta, Glipizide, and Glimepiride. Many of these actually do more than just work on your pancreas. They can also work on other organs.Donât worry, thereâs always more in the works. It seems like there is a steady stream of diabetes drugs coming out on the market. Youâll know when you see another new diabetes drug commercial with people dancing around.

"The newer drugs that keep coming out have more and more of these terrible possible side effects"."Using a drug of this nature, one that works on the pancreas to produce more insulin can worn over work your pancreas"."Losing weight should be a slow process so you retain as much muscle as possible".

Has your doctor ever said to you: "Check your fasting glucose"? So you do it and then...what do you do with that information?
Diabetes numbers and what they really mean to us diabetics.Fasting Glucose and A1c levels.The importance of learning the meaning and impact of the guidelines that doctors tell us when it comes to diabetes. Improving fasting glucose by FASTING. Is it a good choice for all of us? If you want to learn more about fasting, check episode #26 with Dr. William Hsu. Type 2 diabetes is reversible but it won't happen overnight, and it can only happen if you understand how your body functions and what it really needs from you. I can help.
Most of us just write the numbers down and then show them to our doctor. But are you having a deep conversation about these specific numbers and what you're suppose to do with them? If you aren't then you SHOULD. Make sure to listen to find out why.
All these "guidelines" that are thrown at us need to be broken down and properly interpreted depending on our health issues and not just diabetes alone.
Reducing medication and insulin shots is possible. Reversing your type 2 diabetes is possible but you have to find the right balance in order to achieve it. If you take something out of the equation you need to replace it with something else: exercise, good quality sleep and a good and nutritious diet.

42.4% of adult Americans struggle with obesity and of course this is a driver toward diabetes. 11.5% of diabetes patients also become cancer patients. Whereas 8.9% of people without diabetes become cancer patients. Over 600,000 people die of cancer every year. A significant increase in deaths from pancreatic and liver cancers is estimated to continue in the next 2 decades.
"Did you know that diabetes was linked to 40% of COVID-19 deaths in the US?""The one thing that all of these diseases have in common is lifestyle. Lifestyle is the biggest factor on getting any or all of these diseases.""For those of you who want to go to your physician and say I don't want to be on medication, you have to do something to keep yourself off of medication. You cannot have it both ways"
These are scary stats and it shouldn't be this way.
The main reason behind today's episode title is that, when you become a type 2 diabetic you set yourself up for attracting all of these other diseases.
Lifestyle choices can either add more diseases to your life or prevent them from happening. This decision relies ENTIRELY on you and not your doctor or nurse. I know, it can be a tough process but it's been more than proven that it is possible.

The type 2 diabetes management protocol has not worked in decades for those who want to naturally improve their health and reverse their type 2 diabetes.
The management protocol is just that. You âmanageâ your glucose levels with multiple medications and for 30% of Americans with diabetes are also prescribed insulin.
Iâve seen some doctors indicate that a type 2 diabetic will most likely need insulin after 10-20 years and that this streamlines the process for the patient.
It may seem hard to adjust your lifestyle today by making better food choices, building in some activity and getting good rest. Living on insulin shots for the rest of your life can increase that difficulty.
Insulin adds a complexity to your life you can never imagine. No one can replicate with shots what your body can naturally do. Once you have a metabolic impairment lifestyle changes usually shows a better and healthier outcome.Find out about the top 7 concerns insulin dependency brings:
You will never achieve a normal A1c level. Why? It's too dangerous.The protocol for type 2 diabetes patients to calculate insulin dosing at each meal is misunderstood. Preservatives and stabilizers. Understand why you can open an insulin pen and it can be used without refrigeration for 30 days or more. Did you know insulin has side effects? Itâs advertised as âhumanâ insulin you are injecting, guess again. It is human insulin analog. Throughout the years of injecting insulin, your body will become desensitized, requiring you to increase your dosage. No one ever mentions the psychological effects of insulin protocol. Your life is forever changed and abnormal compared to other non-diabetics.INSULIN DOES NOT HAVE TO BE YOUR ONLY CHOICE
"I was told to eat a snack before bedtime and take my insulin. That didnât sit right with me. I asked several diabetic professionals why not adjust what I eat so I can take less insulin, all I heard was, 'I suppose you can try that.'""Did you know feeling hungry could actually be an indicator that something is wrong with your insulin?""I talk with insulin-dependent diabetics all the time. Nearly 90% of them were improperly dosing and using. Unfortunately, most type 2 diabetics are not completely trained on using insulin."

You've probably heard about Hemp and CBD. There's a lot of buzz about how good and effective CBD is for treating multiple ailments and conditions, such as: anxiety, depression, inflammatory issues, pain relief, sleeping disorders and many more, but there's also quite some confusion about CBD and Marijuana: "Are they the same thing? Would I get high if I consume CBD products? Is CBD legal? Would it help me if I'm a diabetic? What's the link between CBD and Diabetes?
âRight now the FDA does not regulate CBD products (âŠ) Only 42% of CBD brands tested all their products for potency (âŠ) Many of those 58% brands didnât test for heavy metals or pesticidesâ."It is extremely important that when you buy CBD products to check for independent third party lab tests and certificate for analysis"
So, to learn about CBD and clear all of these doubts (and more), we brought Stacy Bull from Your CBD Store to the podcast, who's an expert on the matter.
Stacy is the General Manager for 3 Your CBD Store locations in Collier County, 2 currently in Naples and 1 on Marco Island. She has a bachelor's degree in healthcare administration from UW Milwaukee and has worked in ophthalmology, oncology and cardiology. Stacy says: "I always knew I wanted to work in the healthcare field and help others but if you would have told me I would be in the cannabis industry one day, I would have laughed (...) I absolutely love what I do, educating others on hemp derived cannabinoid products and promoting cannabinoid therapy as an alternative medicine."

We all know constant and poorly managed stress isn't healthy for us. The physical and mental consequences are almost infinite. When cortisol levels are high for a long period of time it blocks your body from releasing insulin, meaning the glucose that's in your bloodstream stays there for that extra energy we need because stress is pulling us down. Our pancreas will try to produce more insulin and so we start unbalancing the way our body should naturally be working and that's when we can become insulin resistant.

"A lot of people think hypnotherapy is this crazy, insane thing from the movies, TV shows and those shows in Vegas, but it is not. It is the opposite of that. It works with your subconscious mind, which rules 95% of your life (...) This is where behaviors and beliefs are stored. Oftentimes we pick-up these behaviors from childhood and we're not aware of them and they turn into habits and beliefs that are holding us back when we're adults".
"Hypnotherapy helps you to become more mentally stronger. It's not about making you into a new person, it's uncovering those habits and beliefs that were covering up the real you, the healthy you".
"In private Hypnotherapy sessions Megan works with your subconscious mind so that you manifest your goals and deepest desires with ease. "
