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. ### Key discussion points… - John’s wake-up call at 45 - Why walking is the easiest insulin resistance fix - The scale of America’s pre-diabetes crisis - How movement helps in building muscle mass - Symptoms of insulin resistance - Health insights from continuous glucose monitors - How alcohol wrecks blood sugar and sleep - Peptides, muscle loss, and how to do it right - How to connect with John and Rebel Health Alliance [ Read the Transcript From This Episode ](https://myersdetox.com/transcript659/) ### Don’t be afraid of the fact that your blood sugar spikes, because it’s going to spike whenever you eat anything.
