The FastingWell Podcast

I’ve pulled these topics from videos on my YouTube channel (links below). First, 7 daily habits that can help you rapidly improve your blood sugar. This is super-relevant for people with prediabetes, diabetes, or just trying to prevent diabetes. After that, I explain 3 reasons focusing on a *goal* of weight loss may be causing you harm.

Kidney disease is common, and often leads to kidney failure. Once you have kidney failure, you're at a higher risk of a bunch of other health problems, and ultimately a much higher risk of death. The bad news is kidney failure is not usually reversible. The good news? Kidney failure is easily preventable in most cases, by fixing the underlying problems (like high blood sugar, and high blood pressure). Today I'll explain what causes kidney failure, and how you can prevent it through intermittent fasting, eating low carb, and other healthy lifestyle changes.

Lecanemab (aka Leqembi) recently got full approval form the FDA for Alzheimer’s treatment, and will now be covered by Medicare. But this medication is not only expensive, it has some major health risks. In this episode, I'll break down the risks and benefits of this new medication. Then I’ll compare lecanemab to an Alzheimer's program centered around fasting and ketosis (along with a few other medical tests and treatments), developed by Dr. Dale Bredesen, author of “The End of Alzheimer’s”.
