We talk with Chris Cornell (aka Biggest Comeback). At 278 pounds in his 50s, Chris knew something had to change. What followed wasn’t another extreme diet or complicated system. It was a simple, repeatable approach built around satiety, self-accountability, and becoming his own experiment.

In this can’t miss episode, Chris and Cory talk about why hunger control beats willpower and how a few simple food rules can drive lasting weight loss and better metabolic health. We connect his comeback story to type 2 diabetes remission by focusing on satiety, muscle, and realistic habits that lower the odds of sliding back into “managed forever.” The conversation covers:

• Type 2 diabetes as a muscle and energy storage problem
• Chris’s 278-pound wake-up moment and the rebound trap of white-knuckle calorie restriction
• Low carb as a tool for satiety rather than a rigid identity
• Why calorie counting fails when hunger and cravings stay high
• N=1 experimentation and adapting general guidelines to real life
• Chris’s satiety rules including protein targets, carb range, and time boundaries
• Why fasting can backfire before food quality is fixed
• A simple starting step: prioritize satiating protein-rich foods.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too late”… or that health has to be complicated to make your own Biggest Comeback…

This one’s for you.

We do the real-world math on budget grocery shopping for type 2 diabetes remission and show why “healthy food is expensive” is often a myth when you compare what actually keeps you full. We share 15 affordable staples and contrast them with common junk foods to explain why cost per satiety matters more than cost per pound.

The bigger takeaway is a mindset shift: don’t shop for the cheapest calories, shop for the cheapest way to not be hungry. We also get practical about real life, time, and taste, sharing shortcuts like crock pot meals, frozen veggies, bagged salads, and easy flavor upgrades with sauces, spices, and pre-mixed seasoning packets. If you’ve been struggling at the grocery store, this is the episode you can’t miss!

It’s time for another Rapid Fire Friday where we answer listener questions about the road to diabetes remission. This week, we give answers to the following:

-Sometimes my CGM makes me afraid of food, should I keep using it?

-What exactly do I need to eat for better blood sugar?

-How do you build confidence around food instead of fear?

It’s time to clear up the confusion and find clarity on your path to diabetes remission. If you want a calmer relationship with food, steadier glucose trends, and a realistic plan built on real food and muscle-building habits, press play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a quick review so more people can find the show.

Your post-meal numbers are finally improving, your A1C feels like it’s heading the right direction, and you’re doing the work… so why does your fasting blood sugar still look the same every morning? If you’ve ever stared at that morning glucose reading and felt defeated, we want to take the blame and confusion off your plate and put a clear plan back in your hands.

In this episode, we break down why fasting blood sugar can be the slowest number to improve and what it actually tells you about what’s going on in your body.

We’ll explain:

• Why fasting glucose behaves differently than post-meal glucose
• The role of the liver and overnight glucose production
• Why improvement isn’t always linear
• What it means when other numbers are improving first

If you’ve been frustrated by your morning blood sugar numbers, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening, and why you might be closer than you think.

If you’ve ever left an appointment thinking, “They didn’t hear me,” you already know why so many type 2 diabetes plans fail, even when the advice is technically correct. We connect a little league pitching breakthrough to the real reason many people stay stuck with type 2 diabetes: the plan never matches the person.

We lay out how the right team, the right questions, and small tactical steps create the follow-through that moves the needle on blood sugar improvement and builds a path toward diabetes remission. You’ll see how progress happens when the guidance fits the person, not when you collect more instructions.

You’ll hear all of this plus how Brian and Cory’s coaching styles differ and complement each other, when and how to seek a 2nd opinion while avoiding conflicting extremes, and how to get curious and learn rather than spiral after making a mistake.

We talk a lot about diet, exercise, and blood sugar on this podcast.

But one of the most powerful influences on blood sugar and long-term health is something much simpler: relationships.

In this special episode, recorded TOGETHER live from Cory’s home in Tucson while Brian visited, we step back from nutrition and talk about the role that connection, friendship, and community play in blood sugar and overall health. From lowering stress to improving habits and resilience, the people around us can shape our health more than we realize.

We also talk about why modern life makes meaningful connection harder, and why investing in relationships may be one of the most overlooked health habits.

Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do isn’t a workout or a diet change.

It’s spending time with people you care about.

Most of us have been conditioned to laugh things off, brush things aside, or say “I’ll deal with it later.”

But when it comes to type 2 diabetes…

This isn’t something to joke about.

In this episode, released on April Fool’s Day, we talk about why diabetes deserves real attention. Not fear, not panic, but honest, practical action.

We discuss:

• Why so many people underestimate the impact of diabetes
• The slow, insidious nature of diabetes that keeps people from taking action
• How to overcome a lack of motivation with a simple framework

We’ll also share an update on the podcast and a new schedule moving forward.

If you’ve been putting off taking charge of your blood sugar… this might be the nudge you need.
