Is type 2 diabetes truly reversible, or are we being told the wrong story?

Kim welcomes professional chef and diabetes advocate Jeff Grundy for an honest conversation about the confusion, fear, and misinformation surrounding type 2 diabetes.

After spending years relying on medication alone, Jeff experienced a wake-up call that changed everything. Today, he helps others understand that real change doesn’t come from extreme diets or quick fixes but from mindset shifts, identity change, and small, consistent habits.

Kim and Jeff discuss:

🔴 Why diabetes is often the foundation of many chronic diseases
🟢 How to start reversing diabetes with simple, sustainable steps
🟣 Why medication alone is not the solution for type 2 diabetes

What if everything we think about boys and emotions is backwards?

Dr. Gloria Vanderhorst, a pioneering psychologist with 50 years of experience, will pull back the curtain on the emotional suppression of men in our culture.

In this enlightening and thought-provoking episode, Gloria reveals:

• ​🔴 The Shocking Research: Boys enter the world with a wider emotional range than girls. Dr. Vanderhorst explains how we systematically train them to suppress it from infancy, and the lifelong cost of that narrowing.
• ​🟢 The Relational Fallout: Why the phrase "boys don't cry" is a direct contributor to failed relationships and emotional disconnect in partnerships. Discover why men often can't express fear or sadness, and how that "emotional robot" persona breaks down marriages.
• ​🟣 The Path to Healing: From groundbreaking men's groups to a unique journal that uses drawing to unlock non-verbal trauma, Dr. Vanderhorst provides the tools for men to reclaim their emotional birthright and for all of us to raise a healthier generation.
