In this episode we explore the intricate connection between inflammation and diabetes. We break down the difference between acute and chronic inflammation and how the latter, at the cellular level, intertwines with insulin resistance, further complicating health issues like high blood glucose, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and weight gain.
We also dive into practical, nutrition-based strategies that can help you regain control. With a focus on nutrition, we cover foods that increase inflammation. And we explore the benefits of an anti-inflammatory diet rich in whole, nutrient-dense foods. And we highlight specific nutrients such as magnesium and nutraceuticals like turmeric that can be a powerful ally in the fight against inflammation.
