How many people are pre-diabetic right now and have absolutely no idea? The numbers are staggering, and left unchecked, this subtle condition can eventually cost people their mobility, organs, and even their lives.
I'm joined by John Goldman, founder of Rebel Health Alliance, who turned his health crisis at 45 into a mission to help others avoid the same predicament. He walks us through the diagnostics that revealed he was (in his words) a metabolic disaster, and the seven-part philosophy he used to reverse it.
We get into why walking after meals is one of the most underrated tools for blood sugar control, what a continuous glucose monitor can teach you about your body, and why John believes healthcare should involve a coordinated team instead of a single rushed doctor's visit.
We also explore GLP-1 medications, muscle loss, and why so many people are setting themselves up to fail when they misuse these powerful drugs.
"Don't be afraid of the fact that your blood sugar spikes, because it's going to spike whenever you eat anything. You can lower blood sugar by just getting up and moving around." ~ John Goldman

About John Goldman:
When doctors told John Goldman he was fine, he felt anything but. He was tired, overworked, and uninspired by a healthcare system that waits for people to get sick before doing anything about it. So, he decided to rebel. As the Founder & CEO of Rebel Health Alliance, John built a new kind of healthcare company—one designed to make you stronger, sharper, and more resilient right now. And to prove what's possible, he's turning himself into the ultimate case study: transforming from average to elite, aiming to qualify for the Boston Marathon in 18 months or less.
