Diabetes: The Metabolic Bully

Diabetes: The Metabolic Bully – Episode 7 – Ozempic v. Exercise

Welcome to “Diabetes: The Metabolic Bully,” where we delve deep into the world of one of the most prevalent chronic conditions that lurks in our society. Diabetes doesn’t just knock on our doors; it bullies its way into our lives, altering our metabolism and dictating our daily routines. In each episode, we aim to unpack the science and myths surrounding diabetes. From understanding how our bodies succumb to this metabolic bully to the latest research and treatments, our podcast aims to provide listeners with comprehensive insights.

Dr. Black firmly believes in the importance of exercise and a healthy diet in managing diabetes, asserting that these lifestyle changes not only aid in diabetes control but also improve overall health. He emphasizes that exercise naturally lowers blood sugar levels by utilizing stored energy in the body and bloodstream, a more effective and natural method than relying on medications that target other organs. Dr. Black also cautions against the sole reliance on weight loss drugs for diabetes control, advising individuals to closely monitor their blood sugar levels if they choose to combine these drugs with diet and exercise. He advocates for sustainable lifestyle changes over temporary solutions, encouraging small, manageable steps and professional guidance if needed.
