Did you know that 7 out of 10 people in America are somewhere on the "diabetic spectrum"? Type 2 diabetes has become a costly pandemic, affecting millions. But there's good news - in most cases, it's reversible.   In today's episode of the Wellness Revolution, I sit down with health expert Eric Edmeades who shares surprising insights on the true drivers behind skyrocketing diabetes rates. He exposes how the profit motives of big food and pharma have contributed to the epidemic. Edmeades also reveals a startling comparison of how many periods the average woman has today versus living naturally. While being overweight increases diabetes risk, you don't have to be obese to develop type 2 diabetes. The condition can impact anyone with metabolic imbalances.   Edmeades' new book "Post-Diabetic" offers a proven 9-week plan to prevent, reverse, and remain free of this devastating disease. Tune in today to learn actionable strategies to reclaim your health.   Eric Edmeades is an internationally recognized keynote speaker, author, and serial entrepreneur.
