Diabetes is usually framed as a blood sugar problem.

But blood sugar is what we measure, not where the problem starts.

In this episode, we explain four reasons diabetes is a muscle problem, not just a blood sugar problem, and why muscle plays a central role in glucose control and insulin resistance.

We cover:

• Why muscle is the primary place glucose is stored
• How GLUT4 acts as the “door” that lets sugar into muscle…without insulin!
• How modern life reduces muscle’s ability to do its job
• Why muscle functions as metabolic insurance over time

This isn’t about lifting heavy weights or following extreme programs.
It’s about understanding how muscle supports blood sugar control and why building metabolic capacity matters.

If managing blood sugar has felt frustrating or incomplete, this episode offers a clearer framework.

We also mention getting ahold of our steady strengthening workout to start building your muscle! To get it, just send us an email at brianandcory@diabetesremissionpartners.com

Most people already know what they should eat to improve their blood sugar.

That’s not the problem.

In this episode, we break down five reasons knowing what to eat doesn’t always translate into doing it, and why that’s not a character flaw.

We cover:

· How too many choices (the buffet effect) sabotage decisions

· Why environment beats willpower

· How stress hijacks the brain and drives quick-energy eating

· The trap of comfort eating disguised as self-care

· Why too many rules create paralysis instead of progress

This is not about trying harder.
It’s about fewer decisions, better defaults, and building a system that actually works.

If you’ve ever thought, “I know what to do, I just don’t do it,” this episode is for you.
