0:00.0	So, in a healthy, well-regulated system, which sees insulin, sensitive to insulin,
0:07.0	insulin's getting there before the meal, it takes tiny amounts of insulin to drive glucose
0:12.0	into tissues compared to what we do when we try to treat people with insulin ourselves,
0:16.0	because we're just not that good at. We're not as smart as the body.
0:35.1	Welcome to the Mastering Diabetes Audio Experience, where we teach you how to sit in the driver's seat of your diabetes health for the rest of your life.
0:38.3	We'll teach you how to reverse insulin resistance, achieve your ideal body weight, gain energy,
0:44.3	and get your best A1C following more than 85 years of evidence-based research in the Mastering Diabetes Program.
0:52.3	Our program teaches you how to reverse pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes and how to simplify your life with type 1 diabetes by maximizing your insulin sensitivity using food as medicine.
1:05.0	We're on a bold mission to reverse insulin resistance in 1 million people. We're glad to have you joining us.
1:16.4	In today's podcast episode, we're going to get a chance to talk with Dr. Mark Hellerstein from

1:37.3	And he happens to be able to solve incredibly complex math problems that some mathematicians can't even solve themselves.
1:43.6	So he starts solving these problems.
1:45.8	He gets discovered by the mathematics community in the school. And then he's given a choice as to
1:51.0	whether or not he's actually going to use this skill or whether he can just continue in his life
1:55.0	as a janitor and work in construction. It's one of my favorite movies of all time. Absolutely
1:59.8	phenomenal movie.
2:01.5	And what I like particularly about this idea is that, you know, Matt Damon plays the role of a
2:05.9	guy who just happens to have an incredibly powerful brain, but he doesn't necessarily know
2:11.0	what to do with it. I studied at UC Berkeley for five years under the guidance of Dr. Mark
