How Your Body Actually Controls Blood Sugar (Not What You Think)

Think your pancreas controls your blood sugar? Think again. Sarah Williams breaks down the shocking truth about how your body actually manages glucose - and why most people are focusing on the wrong organ entirely. On Fuel Different, we uncover how your liver handles 80% of blood sugar control during fasting, explore why you need a massive 4,700 mg of potassium daily (that's 7 cups of vegetables), and reveal how Type 2 diabetes actually starts in your liver, not your pancreas. You'll discover why your blood sugar must stay in an incredibly tight range of just 80-120 mg/dL, learn simple dietary fixes most doctors don't mention, and understand the real science behind insulin resistance. This isn't your typical nutrition advice - it's what actually happens inside your body. 📍 Chapters: [00:00] Introduction with Sarah Williams [01:30] Your liver vs pancreas - who's really in charge [04:00] The potassium crisis nobody talks about [07:00] Why Type 2 diabetes starts in your liver [10:00] Blood sugar's tiny safe zone explained [12:00] Simple fixes that actually work 🔍 Topics: wellness, nutrition, diabetes, medicine, diet, doctors ⭐ Ready to fuel different?
