Hey Heal Squad, in this episode, we dive deep into diabetes. Whether you have it or not, it's a must listen because the odds are you could already be prediabetic as millions walk around undiagnosed. I want to help you prevent it with information I wish I knew that could delay it or prevent it altogether. We are excited to have renowned expert Dr. Matthias von Herrath, a top researcher on this disease, with us to break it down and the new breakthroughs he and his colleagues are working on. I loved this convo and I know you will too! 

• The Importance of Early Detection: for prediabetic individuals and how specific blood markers, such as antibodies, can predict the risk of developing diabetes. Identifying individuals in the prediabetic stage opens the door to prevention and intervention and understanding what exactly is happening so you can make the changes you need from a personally empowered place. Trust me, I wish I knew what we discussed before I got diagnosed with this! 
• Nutrition, Stress, and the Immune System: how processed foods and rapid sugar spikes stress beta cells, potentially triggering autoimmune responses. Friends, when you understand these beta cells better, you will do better, I promise!!! 
• The Role of the Brain and Meditation: the brain influences the immune system and beta cell health and the potential connections between the nervous system, inflammation, and the onset of autoimmune diseases.
• The Importance of Holistic Healthcare: the significance of understanding the entire patient journey, considering the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and various systems, and advocating for more personalized and comprehensive care.
