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.
In this episode of “Diabetes the Metabolic Bully,” host Tom Fox hosts Dr. Byron Black, an advocate for the evolution of diabetes treatments and the importance of physical activity. With a deep understanding of the limitations of current diabetes medications, Black believes that these treatments are not effectively addressing the rising rate of diabetes as they primarily target organs rather than muscles. He emphasizes the crucial role of exercise in managing blood sugar levels and suggests that incorporating exercise into a treatment plan can reduce or eliminate the need for medication with the guidance and approval of a physician. His perspective is shaped by his extensive experience and dedication to helping individuals minimize medication reliance and achieve their health goals through his work at his medical fitness clinic in Kerrville. Join Tom Fox and Byron Black on this episode of the Diabetes: The Metabolic Bully podcast to learn more about the evolution of diabetes medications and the importance of exercise.
