@connealymd: Many people believe that eating too much sugar (or carbohydrates) causes diabetes. But the real issue isn't sugar itself. It's actually the body's inability to process it properly. When something interferes with glucose (sugar) uptake, it remains in the blood instead of entering the cells where it's needed. Over time, this leads to chronically high blood sugar, increased insulin levels, and eventually, insulin resistance. Every cell in the body is designed to create energy from glucose. Losing the ability to use glucose efficiently is at the root of most health conditions. Cutting out carbohydrates or sugar doesn't fix the real problem; it acts more like a band aid. It can lower blood sugar levels, but it doesn't mean cells have restored their ability to produce energy. Real healing happens when the body regains its ability to use glucose efficiently. One of the biggest barriers to glucose absorption is excess fat in the bloodstream. When free fatty acids (FFAs) are high in the blood, they block sugar from entering cells. Excess fat in the blood can come from a high-fat diet or chronic stress. When stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline are released, the body breaks down stored fat from tissues and floods the bloodstream with FFAs as a quick energy source. This is a protective mechanism under stress, but when it becomes chronic, it disrupts glucose metabolism and causes insulin resistance. What increases free fatty acids in the blood? - Cortisol and adrenaline - Low dietary carbohydrate intake - High dietary fat intake - Fasting & caloric restriction - High estrogen - Poor sleep What helps restore glucose metabolism? - Thiamine - Magnesium - Potassium - Aspirin (lowers free fatty acids) - Niacinamide (lowers free fatty acids) - Progesterone (lowers estrogen and cortisol) - Pregnenolone (lowers estrogen & cortisol) - Lowering stress - Removing all dietary PUFA - Optimizing Sleep
