Coming up on today's show.

The majority of people walking around with metabolic ill health, they don't have any signs or symptoms.

They feel fine.

I was not aware of low carb in 2013 when I got pre-diabetes.

I was eating a lot of carbs, actually.

And that had been my food pattern for more than three decades.

I just wasn't aware.

Being an endocrinologist did not teach me

about a low carb way of life. If you start dropping your carbs, upping your protein, within a week,

I see improvements. And within two weeks, not just glucose levels improving, but energy levels are going

up. They feel less bloated, less puffy. And this we know is insulin resistance lowering, the water

retention reversing itself. And this water that's under the skin in the wrong place, that starts

to get corrected as they up the protein. Within two weeks, they're beginning to feel a lot better.

I wasn't this doctor 20 years ago. I was part of that system. I was part of that training. I was part of that

machine that says one tablet, two tablet, three tablets, four, finally insulin. And it was only a certain

combination of life circumstances in my life that gave me this chance to open my eyes. And thankfully,

I did. As somebody's becoming metabolically unhealthy, insulin resistant,

what are the first signs and symptoms?

You know, Jesse, I'm really glad you asked me that

because the majority of people walking around with metabolic ill health,

they don't have any signs or symptoms. They feel fine. And that's one of

the catches about this is we may have to go screen for it even when someone feels absolutely fine.
