Empowered DiabetesInflammation and oxidative stress fuel every core defect in type 2 diabetes. The fix starts with lifestyle: plant-forward, fiber-rich eating, daily movement, better sleep, stress care, and steady weight loss—backed by meds when needed. You can turn this around.
Empowered DiabetesRichie and Amber explain how mitochondrial dysfunction drives fatigue and high blood sugar in type 2 diabetes—and how to fix it with walking after meals, strength training, plant-forward nutrition, solid sleep, stress care, and targeted meds.
Empowered DiabetesGut dysbiosis—an imbalance in gut bacteria—drives inflammation, lowers GLP-1, and worsens insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes. Boost gut health with diverse plants, polyphenols, resistant starch, and fermented foods; move daily. Small steps add up.
Empowered DiabetesIAPP (amylin) is co-released with insulin. In insulin resistance, excess IAPP misfolds into toxic amyloid that damages beta cells and speeds type 2 diabetes. No drug clears it, but lowering insulin demand with diet, exercise, sleep, stress care, and select meds helps.
Empowered DiabetesAlpha cell dysfunction explained: why glucagon goes “rogue,” raising fasting and post-meal blood sugar in type 2 diabetes. We cover what alpha cells do, how meds like GLP‑1s help, and simple lifestyle wins—fiber-rich carbs, protein pairing, and post-meal walks.
Empowered DiabetesBrain insulin resistance scrambles hunger, energy, and focus. The brain gets glucose, but signaling breaks—causing cravings, brain fog, and low motivation. Movement, fiber-rich plant foods, sleep, stress care, and GLP-1s can help protect against diabetes related dementia.
