In this episode of American Medicine Today, hosts Kimberly Bonati and Ethan Youker delve into the pressing issue of diabetes in the United States, a condition exacerbated by the widespread consumption of processed foods such as high-fructose corn syrup and refined sugars. They are joined by Tim Keller, the founder of U.S. Diabetes Care, who is pioneering efforts to educate the public and transform the health landscape.

Keller points out the staggering statistics, with over 38 million Americans diagnosed with diabetes and 93 million considered pre-diabetic. He challenges the notion of pre-diabetes, arguing for a more direct approach to diagnosing and treating the condition. Keller emphasizes the need for better education about diabetes management, lamenting the current state of Western medicine, which often focuses on treating symptoms rather than patients.

He introduces innovative tools such as AI biomarker avatars to guide individuals on their diabetic journey, offering a holistic alternative to traditional medication-focused approaches. The episode also features Eric Perry from Kentucky, who shares his inspiring recovery story from chronic pain, highlighting the transformative impact of the Bonati Spine Procedures. Dr. Bonati's techniques offer a unique approach to spine surgery, allowing patients to remain awake and interactive during procedures, leading to significant post-surgical recovery. Additionally, Dr.

Sal discusses the mental health challenges faced by boys and men, particularly in light of the pandemic-induced educational shutdowns. The discussion underscores the importance of socialization and communication skills in adolescent development, noting that many young individuals now require extra support to rebuild these crucial abilities.
