Episode 25 - The Case for Carbohydrates
In this eye-opening episode of The Diabetes Podcast, we make the case for carbohydrates—especially for people navigating low carb diabetes. We unpack the real history of keto, why early weight loss is mostly water, and why most “keto” eaters aren’t actually in ketosis. You’ll learn the difference between safe nutritional ketosis and dangerous diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), how metabolic flexibility helps you switch smoothly between fat and glucose, and why long-term low carb can backfire when carbs return. We spotlight the power of whole, fiber-rich carbs—beans, whole grains, fruits, and veggies—to boost natural GLP-1, steady blood sugar, and deliver key vitamins, minerals, and disease-fighting phytochemicals. We also cover why high saturated fat diets can raise LDL and heart risk, and why the best-researched patterns for diabetes and longevity—Mediterranean, DASH, and Whole Food Plant-Based—are carb-inclusive. Bottom line: carbs aren’t the problem; ultra-processed junk is. Reclaim carbs to fuel energy, support gut health, and build a long-term plan for remission.

n this eye-opening episode of The Diabetes Podcast, co-hosts Amber Wilhoit (RD/LD, CDCES) and Richie Wilhoit (TRS-C) break down Diabetes GLP1 in simple, actionable steps you can use today. Learn how to boost GLP-1 naturally with intact grains (barley groats, steel cut oats), leafy greens (spinach thylakoids), resistant starch, and 40 grams of fiber—plus smart add-ons like apple cider vinegar, fermented foods, and spices (cinnamon, turmeric, cayenne). Discover why a 10-minute walk after meals, resistance training, and short HIIT sessions protect muscle and improve blood sugar, especially if you’re on GLP-1 meds. We cover who should consider GLP-1 medications, how to prevent muscle loss with protein and creatine, and how to build an exit plan from day one. You’ll get a simple 90-day plan, tips to track progress (waist, energy, hunger scale), and real talk on our “diabetogenic” environment.

Episode 23 - Diabetes and GLP-1: The Real Story Behind Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro (Part 1)
Dive into diabetes and GLP-1 with The Diabetes Podcast as Amber Wilhoit (RD/LD, CDCES) and Richie Wilhoit (TRS-C) cut through the hype around Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. In this eye-opening episode, we explain how GLP-1 medications work, why they lower A1C, and how they quiet “food noise” by slowing the stomach and supporting insulin when glucose is present. We also get real about side effects like nausea, diarrhea, constipation, “Ozempic face,” and the hidden risk of lean muscle loss. You’ll learn why weight loss often stalls at 6–12 months, why many regain weight after stopping, and what this means for long-term use and cost, including insurance and Medicare realities. We share a real-world story, FDA cautions on compounded semaglutide, and the surprising heart benefits for people with type 2 diabetes. Plus, we preview Part 2: natural ways to boost GLP-1 with food, movement, and simple daily habits. If you’re wondering whether diabetes and GLP-1 meds are right for you, this episode gives you the honest, practical guidance you need.

Learn why remission is possible for many with type 2 diabetes, how small habits beat extreme diets, and why medication is a helpful tool—not a failure. We expose the red flags of diabetes scams, risky supplements, and “miracle cures,” and share simple, science-backed steps that work: walking after meals, eating more fiber and legumes, lowering sodium, improving sleep, and reducing stress. We also highlight tech wins for type 1 (CGMs and insulin pumps) and a resource to know: Blue Circle Health. If you’re tired of confusion and empty promises, this episode gives you clarity, practical hope, and an action plan to feel better, protect your health, and—if it’s your goal—work toward remission without gimmicks.

Episode 21 - The Diabetes/Salt Connection: How Sodium Impacts Blood Pressure & Health
In this episode of The Diabetes Podcast, co-hosts Amber Wilhoit (RD/LD, CDCES) and Richie Wilhoit (TRS-C) uncover the hidden dangers of the diabetes salt connection—how excess sodium quietly raises blood pressure, strains the heart, damages kidneys, and increases stroke risk for people with type 2 diabetes. You’ll learn why the average American eats over twice the recommended sodium, where salt hides in everyday foods like bread, pizza, and canned soup, and the latest research linking sodium to heart disease. Most importantly, Amber and Richie share simple, practical strategies—like following the DASH diet, spotting high-sodium foods, cooking with herbs, and adding beans and fresh produce—that can help you cut back on salt without giving up flavor. This eye-opening, easy-to-follow episode shows how small changes in sodium intake can protect your health, improve quality of life, and even support diabetes remission.
