What Doctors Should Tell You After a Diabetes Diagnosis (But Don’t)

Ali unpacks the science (without the overwhelm!) on why keto seems to work in the short term, but may backfire over time—especially for heart health, inflammation, and insulin sensitivity. Drawing on research from Mastering Diabetes, Dr. Neal Barnard, and the Word of Wisdom itself, she explores how fat—not carbs—is often the real culprit behind insulin resistance. You’ll learn: Why the “glucose key” doesn’t work when the “lock” is gummed up with fat The surprising role of fat—even healthy fat—in type 1 and type 2 diabetes How blood sugar spikes are linked to Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and inflammation Why your stress levels could be quietly sabotaging your blood sugar The better alternative to carb counting for managing insulin resistance Simple strategies (like food sequencing and vinegar!) that make a big difference Whether you're managing diabetes, insulin resistance, PCOS, or just want to avoid chronic disease before it starts, this episode will shift how you think about carbs, fat, and faith-based health. 👉 Want support with plant-based eating that fits your busy life and honors your values?
