Hello and welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host, Evan Brand. Thanks for joining me.

I'm a certified functional medicine practitioner and functional nutritional therapy practitioner

talk with you today about diabetes, blood sugar issues, and the weakening of the immune system

and how that's tied into a worsening situation with coronavirus.

Dr. Justin, my colleague and friend are really studying things.

We're studying the media.

We're studying the actual CDC articles, the World Health Organization articles.

We're looking everywhere we can to try to get to the bottom of this and figure out what's really going on,

what is leading to worse outcomes with people, and there are many worse outcomes based on previous health issues. Of course, the media will highlight a few people

who maybe had no previous health issues that they know of and then they still end up in bad

shape. But, you know, I find that the vast majority, once we

dive into these numbers here behind the scenes, is that these are people that have had blood

pressure issues, blood sugar issues. In fact, diabetes is the number two biggest, most common,

most impactful issue you could have to get the virus and end up in worse shape. And that's

what we're talking about

today. This is very important to address. If you have blood sugar issues, you might as well try to

address those now so that you can become more resilient and have less risk. So I hope this

podcast is very beneficial. Of course, we're trying to tailor our content to help you all because

we get so many questions weekly via email and on social media.

We're trying to just do what we can, right?

Try to put our voice out there based on some of the stuff we're reading and try to help

improve your lives and improve your health all the time, but especially during these times.
