In this episode, Dr. Steve talks about what Type 2 diabetes really is, explaining why it's not just about sugar levels but mainly about our insulin levels and inflammation due to what we eat and our body's reaction to it. He discusses how changing what we eat is much more important and much more effective than medications, with all of their numerous adverse effects, in dealing with diabetes. Dr. Steve also sheds light on how ultra-processed foods cause health problems by both increasing insulin levels and increasing inflammation in our bodies and offers tips for eating better to improve your health.
