#316 Fix Your Blood Sugar Before It Becomes Diabetes — with Dr. Beverly Yates

Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Beverly Yates, a fellow naturopathic doctor and MIT-trained engineer, internationally recognized speaker, and author of the book "The Yates Protocol: 5 Simple Steps to Fix Your Blood Sugar and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes." Optimizing blood sugar levels is a topic I discuss with my patients every single day, and I'm so glad Dr. Beverly is here to share her knowledge with all of you. As naturopathic doctors, our focus is not on finding another medication to manage symptoms. We want to understand what's happening beneath the surface so we can actually reverse the problem. And with blood sugar, we need to be paying attention long before it becomes diabetes. Even mildly elevated blood sugar increases the risk of heart disease, dementia, Alzheimer's, and cancer. Right now, a third of teenagers in the U.S. are pre-diabetic, and more than half of people with prediabetes are undiagnosed. This isn't sustainable, and it's on each of us to become aware and choose differently. We're here to help you!
