With a touch of humour and relatability, the episode explains the distinction between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, shedding light on the villainous role of insulin resistance in wreaking havoc across the body.

The episode doesn't just leave you hanging with the doom and gloom; it offers hope by examining blue zones, areas where people live long, healthy lives by eating real, unprocessed foods. Dr. Granite discusses how adopting similar dietary habits could help reverse some of the damage caused by modern diets. But it's not just about what we eat. The episode highlights the importance of regular physical activity, social connections, and finding purpose in life as key components to overall well-being.
You'll learn how small changes in diet and lifestyle can have a ripple effect on your health, empowering you to take control of your future. By understanding how insulin resistance works and how it's linked to various diseases, listeners are encouraged to make informed choices about their diets and lifestyles. If you're curious about how ancient dietary wisdom could hold the key to a healthier future, this episode is a must-listen.
