What do obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and Alzheimer’s disease all have in common? They all—along with a host of other diseases—involve a component of blood sugar dysregulation. Considering the rampant use of sugar and flour in our food supply, managing blood sugar is something we should all be thinking about if we want to protect or improve our health.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Kelly LeVeque about her Fab Four approach to balancing blood sugar and how to transform your health, your body, and your relationship with food.
