#15 Food, Mood and Diabetes
The Virgin Diabetic Podcast
03/03/21 • 27 min
"Did you know that sugar is more addictive than cocaine?"
In today's food industry, simple or refined sugars can be found in a wide variety of products and in different presentations: corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, round rice syrup and so on and so forth. These can be found in protein bars, breakfast bars, white bread, wheat bread, bagels, coffee cakes, doughnuts, pastries, candy, fruit juices, soft drinks, sports drinks and other processed foods, beverages and snacks. Don't get fooled by marketing strategies from the food industry. Carefully read the ingredients' list and learn what you're really putting into your body.
Do you know what "added sugars" really mean and how can they affect your glucose? Listen to find out!
Sugar is a huge contributing factor for anxiety, depression, mood changes, irritability and inflammatory disorders.
Food chemicals are often used to replace natural and/or refined sugars. When doing so, the food industry usually brands their products as "sugar free". What's actually happening is that these food chemicals provide sweetness and they can also lead to anxiety, depression, ADHD, leaky gut, Diabetes.
"Your mood can influence your food preferences"

#20 CBD and Diabetes with Stacy Bull from Your CBD Store
The Virgin Diabetic Podcast
05/19/21 • 29 min
You've probably heard about Hemp and CBD. There's a lot of buzz about how good and effective CBD is for treating multiple ailments and conditions, such as: anxiety, depression, inflammatory issues, pain relief, sleeping disorders and many more, but there's also quite some confusion about CBD and Marijuana: "Are they the same thing? Would I get high if I consume CBD products? Is CBD legal? Would it help me if I'm a diabetic? What's the link between CBD and Diabetes?
So, to learn about CBD and clear all of these doubts (and more), we brought Stacy Bull from Your CBD Store to the podcast, who's an expert on the matter.
Stacy is the General Manager for 3 Your CBD Store locations in Collier County, 2 currently in Naples and 1 on Marco Island. She has a bachelor's degree in healthcare administration from UW Milwaukee and has worked in ophthalmology, oncology and cardiology. Stacy says: "I always knew I wanted to work in the healthcare field and help others but if you would have told me I would be in the cannabis industry one day, I would have laughed (...) I absolutely love what I do, educating others on hemp derived cannabinoid products and promoting cannabinoid therapy as an alternative medicine."
GOLD MEDAL QUOTES
- “Right now the FDA does not regulate CBD products (...) Only 42% of CBD brands tested all their products for potency (...) Many of those 58% brands didn’t test for heavy metals or pesticides”.
- "It is extremely important that when you buy CBD products to check for independent third party lab tests and certificate for analysis"

#12 Culinary Medicine and Diabetes with Michael Fenster, MD aka Chef Dr. Mike
The Virgin Diabetic Podcast
01/20/21 • 48 min
Doctor Mike is the only Board-Certified Interventional Cardiologist, Professor of Culinary Medicine, and Professional Chef. He is a trailblazer in the field of culinary medicine. By combining his culinary talents with cutting-edge medical expertise and evidence-based insights he forges an approach to healthy living beyond mere nutrition or fad diets.
He doesn’t believe in setting boundaries when it comes to food. The ideas that healthy food can’t be flavorful, that tasty food can’t be good for you, or that a one-size-fits-all, healthy diet exists are all myths. And, one by one, he is busting those myths. "Every person is unique—from their body to their preferences. You don’t need a self-described 'health expert' telling you what to eat."
Chef Dr. Mike teaches a three-part Introduction to Culinary Medicine online course at the University of Montana College of Health.
Highlights:
- How our mental state can affect our gut microbiome and the correlation between brain and gut good health when eating 'the right kind of food'.
- Answering one common question: "As diabetics: Does our LDL colesterol have to be below 70 even if we maintain healthy glucose levels?".
- Demystifying the impact of colesterol on your blood lipids and breaking down what LDL readings and saturated fats really mean.
- Link between vitamin D deficiency and low values of colesterol.
- US stats on type 2 diabetes and what reversing diabetes studies are showing.
- Meat vs Vegan based diets and finding what's best for YOU
