Reliance on insulin. And now? Her doctor says she no longer needs insulin, and her metformin dose has been cut in half. How did this transformation begin? Someone suggested she listen to a podcast while walking. That podcast happened to be the Diabetes Remission Roadmap. In this solo episode, Cory shares an incredible listener-turned-client success story and explores a concept he calls delusional optimism. Not pretending everything is fine. Not ignoring your diagnosis. Not believing you can wish your way to better blood sugar. But believing that your current circumstances don't have to be your permanent circumstances. Along the way, Cory shares a ping-pong lesson with his six-year-old son, a surprising turnaround on the softball field, and why the stories we tell ourselves can determine whether we even give ourselves a chance to succeed. You'll learn: Why believing change is possible often comes before having proof How years of struggling with type 2 diabetes can shape your expectations The difference between optimism and wishful thinking Why small wins build the confidence to keep going How building muscle, moving more, and improving nutrition turn belief into measurable progress Why one bad blood sugar reading doesn't mean you've failed Why diabetes remission isn't guaranteed—but meaningful improvement may still be possible You don't have to believe you'll win every point. You just have to believe you're capable of winning the next one. Maybe your A1C is high. Maybe you're taking multiple medications. Maybe you've tried everything and feel like nothing works. That might be your reality today. It doesn't have to be your reality forever. Ready to take control of your health and stop settling for “managed” diabetes?     Grab your earbuds and listen in.

Take a probiotic. Eat fermented foods. Add more fiber. Buy a greens powder. Try an elimination diet. But what does gut health actually mean, and what does any of it have to do with blood sugar, weight loss, and metabolic health? In this episode of the Diabetes Remission Roadmap, Cory sits down with Elizabeth Aylor, a Holistic Nutritionist, GAPS Practitioner, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P), Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, and kinesiology graduate. Elizabeth works with functional lab testing and has helped thousands of women struggling with gut, hormonal, and metabolic concerns.  And for Elizabeth, this work is personal. In her early 20s, she dealt with an eating disorder and multiple gut infections, including H. pylori and candida, experiences that ultimately helped shape the work she does today.  We start with the basics: What exactly is an unhealthy gut? Because it isn't always just bloating, gas, constipation, or running to the bathroom. From there, we dig into the potential connections between gut health and metabolic health, why two people can respond very differently to the same diet, and why blindly following keto, carnivore, vegan, low-FODMAP, or any other diet, may miss the bigger picture. We also discuss: Why gut health is about more than taking a probioticGut health, insulin resistance, blood sugar, and weight lossWhy Cory and Elizabeth agree that muscle mattersProtein, fiber, carbs, and pairing foods for better blood sugarKeto, carnivore, vegan, intermittent fasting, and the diet warsWhy the “best” nutrition plan needs to be sustainableElizabeth's perspective on IBS and looking beyond symptomsWhy she wants people to stop buying random gut-health supplementsThe danger of copying someone else's gut protocol from social mediaWhy feeling better on a restrictive diet doesn't necessarily answer why you were having symptoms in the first placeIf you've ever felt like you're doing everything “right”: eating better, exercising, trying supplements, and your body still isn't responding the way you expected, this conversation will give you some new questions to consider. Most importantly: don't get overwhelmed by all the noise.

If you want early access to future episodes AND the chance to submit your own questions for Rapid Fire Friday, join us inside the Type Two Remission Room: https://tinyurl.com/3a4ta86d Can walking for just 5 minutes after a meal really lower your blood sugar? Does vacuuming, doing the dishes, or picking up toys count as exercise? And is chickpea or lentil pasta actually better for your blood sugar than regular pasta? Brian is BACK for another Rapid Fire Friday, and we're answering three practical questions that all come down to one bigger idea: You don't have to do everything perfectly. You need to find the minimum effective dose—and then pay attention to whether it's actually working. In this episode, we cover: Are 5-minute walks after meals really enough? Why five minutes isn't magic—but it may be enough to get your muscles working and help with post-meal blood sugar. And if five turns into 10 or 15? Even better. Does housework count as movement? Vacuuming, dishes, yard work, walking around the house—it all beats sitting on the couch. But there's an important difference between moving and assuming that movement is enough to accomplish all of your health goals. Is lentil or chickpea pasta actually better for blood sugar? Our favorite answer: compared to what? We talk protein, fiber, satiety, “health halos,” ingredient labels—and why the only way to know how a food affects YOUR blood sugar is to pay attention to what actually happens when you eat it. Plus, Cory talks youth basketball, Brian returns from newborn life, and somehow we end up discussing our first-ever one-star review.  If you're overwhelmed by everything you're supposedly “supposed” to do for type 2 diabetes, this episode is your reminder: Start small. Move more. Pay attention to your results. Then build from there.

Join the Type 2 Remission Room, our online podcast community: https://tinyurl.com/3a4ta86d You know walking after meals can help your blood sugar. You know you should prioritize protein, build muscle, sleep better, and make healthier food choices. So…why is it still so hard to actually DO those things consistently? Maybe you don't need more information. Maybe you need to change the story you tell yourself about who you are. In this episode of the Diabetes Remission Roadmap, Cory sits down with Dr. Kim Foster, former family physician, bestselling author of Redesigning You, TEDx speaker, and expert in identity-based behavior change. After nearly 20 years in medicine, Dr. Foster noticed something fascinating: she could give the same health advice to two intelligent, motivated patients. One would transform their life. The other would come back months later frustrated that nothing had changed. What was different? We dig into why statements like: "I've always had a sweet tooth." "I'm not an exercise person." "I always quit." "This stuff never works for me." …aren't just descriptions. They can become instructions for how you behave. You'll learn why jumping straight from "I'm unhealthy" to "I'm a health nut" usually doesn't work, how to create a believable bridge identity, and why tiny wins become evidence that you're capable of becoming someone different. We also talk about what happens when the new identity gets tested. If you keep telling yourself, "I know what I need to do. I just can't seem to stick with it," this episode is for you. Your past may explain the story you've been telling yourself. It doesn't have to write the next chapter.

“You can expect to have Type 2 diabetes in 10 years.”  These were the words our client, Kelly, heard from her doctor while she was working through a gestational diabetes diagnosis many years ago.   In this emotional episode, we talk with our client Kelly about breaking out of the A1C dread cycle and rebuilding confidence after years of being told type 2 diabetes is inevitable. Kelly shares the small, targeted changes that finally moved her blood sugar trends, built her strength, and gave her hope without extreme rules even after years of working with doctors and dieticians.  Kelly shares her journey, including;     • Fear, frustration, and the “threat of medication” shaping the patient-doctor relationship  • CGM data driving anxiety without a clear plan to act on trends  • Why “eat better and exercise more” fails when it becomes restriction and endless cardio  • Stacking small wins: movement around meals, exercise snacks, and targeted strength training  • Eating for satiety to reduce snacking and constant glucose challenges  • Fasted workouts supported by hydration and electrolytes  • Progress markers beyond weight: inches, energy, digestion, sleep, and confidence  • Dawn phenomenon improvements and faster post-meal recovery  • Handling surgery, illness, migraines, stress, and life events without giving up If you have been caught in the undercurrent of overwhelm that diabetes can bring, we know that Kelly’s story will be a beacon of hope and inspiration.

Join the Type 2 Remission Room, our online podcast community: https://tinyurl.com/3a4ta86d Can statins cause dementia? Are the side effects really “all in your head”? And could you just take niacin instead? Cholesterol advice online tends to fall into two camps: statins are lifesaving drugs everyone should take, or statins are dangerous drugs everyone should avoid. The truth is a lot more nuanced. For this Rapid-Fire Friday, pharmacist and metabolic health expert Austin Dudzinski is back to answer YOUR cholesterol questions. We dig into: -Statins, cholesterol, and dementia: What does the evidence actually show, and why does how you lower cholesterol matter? -The real side effects of statins: Muscle aches, weakness, fatigue, brain fog and more. What's legitimate, what's overblown, and what should you do if you don't feel right? -Niacin vs. statins: Niacin can make several cholesterol markers look better on paper…but does that actually translate into fewer heart attacks and better health? - Better numbers vs. better outcomes: Why improving a lab value doesn't automatically mean you're healthier. Most importantly, Austin explains why cholesterol treatment shouldn't be reduced to “statins good” or “statins bad.” Your individual cardiovascular risk, symptoms, medications, biomarkers and goals all matter. If you've ever been told you need a statin because you have type 2 diabetes, or you've avoided one because of something you've heard online, this conversation will give you a much better framework for talking with your healthcare team. Austin Dudzinksi is a board-certified clinical pharmacy specialist with interest in nutrition and metabolism and owner of the digital healthcare communications company, Digital Conversation.  Connect with Austin on X: https://x.com/ApoDudz LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-dudzinski-pharmd-bcacp-b1635098/ Check out Austin’s website: https://digitalconversation.net Send Austin an email: [email protected].  Ready to take control of your health and stop settling for “managed” diabetes?    Grab your earbuds and listen in.

Join the Type 2 Remission Room, our online podcast community: https://tinyurl.com/3a4ta86d Ben Gougeon is an arts administrator, actor, director, and theatre producer. You may have seen him in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Law & Order: SVU, The Blacklist, a multitude of commercials, or on stages across the country. His most famous "role" is a listener of the Diabetes Remission Roadmap (ok, that's just our opinion) who took serious action on his blood sugar. Ben shares how he turned around abrand-new type 2 diabetes diagnosis through simple food changes, daily walking, and steady experimentation. We talk through the real habits that took his A1C from 6.9% to 5.0% in about three months, plus the mindset shifts that keep the progress going with a busy family life. In this episode, we discuss: • Prediabetes and the “no urgency” problem when symptoms stay quiet • Choosing lifestyle changes before starting metformin and why that decision feels empowering • Low-carb eating with minimal processed sugar to improve satiety and curb cravings • Intermittent fasting as a flexible tool rather than an all-or-nothing rule • The importance of simple meals that fit real life • Using small wins and daily glucose trends to stay motivated between A1C checks • Building a better environment through what you listen to and who you learn from • Practical encouragement for anyone overwhelmed by a new diagnosis If you have been struggling with a Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis, and have wondered if improvement is possible, you won't want to miss this episode.

Join the Type 2 Remission Room, our online podcast community: https://tinyurl.com/3a4ta86d Your blood sugar isn’t just reacting to carbs, it’s reacting to stress, recovery, and whether your body has enough muscle to store energy safely. From the outside, taking a week off the gym can look like “falling behind.” From the inside, it can be the smartest move you make all year. We challenge the idea that more workouts always means better blood sugar and explain why a planned break can actually move you forward. We share how we use deload weeks, keep daily movement high, and balance training with travel, family, and real life.  Brian also shares an exciting update from his personal life and it means for the podcast! All this, plus: • What a planned deload week looks like and when to use it  • The difference between dedicated exercise and everyday movement  • Why recreational sports and walking help but do not replace strength training  • Motivation versus discipline and how to restart after a break  • How to plan travel weeks without spiraling and what it means to “play defense” on vacations If you have been wondering if it’s time to take a break from the gym, we know you’ll appreciate what we share in this episode.

Join the Type 2 Remission Room, our online podcast community: https://tinyurl.com/3a4ta86d A “money-back guarantee” diabetes program sounds like it should give you confidence… until you notice the hidden incentive: if you don’t hit your goals, they keep your money.  That question kicked off a candid discussion about why type 2 diabetes behavior change is less about finding new information and more about building implementation, accountability, and real support that leads to remission-level results.  In this episode, we discuss:    • Why six weeks can be a misleading timeframe for A1C and medication reduction goals  • The difference between information and implementation and why most people already know the basics  • How “skin in the game” drives focus and follow-through  • Why accountability is less about policing and more about hard questions  • How low-cost fitness and health programs can rely on low engagement to work as a business model    If you have been struggling choosing the approach that gives you the best chance of success, better metabolic health, and a real return on investment compared to years of rising meds and complications, then this episode is for you.

Join the Type 2 Remission Room, our online podcast community: https://tinyurl.com/3a4ta86d “Start GLP-1 meds earlier” sounds like a clean, modern solution to type 2 diabetes. But what happens when that advice quietly assumes diabetes is “naturally progressive” and that needing more medication over time is simply your fate?  A loyal listener sent us an article about the benefits of starting a GLP-1 earlier in Type 2 diabetes. In this episode, we give GLP-1 drugs their credit while calling out the “progressive and inevitable” story that can keep people stuck in medication dependence instead of rebuilding muscle, habits, and agency. We also cover:  • Why GLP-1 medications are some of the most effective diabetes drugs to date  • Why metformin stays first line for many people  • How cost, insurance coverage, and prescribing habits shape “standard of care”  • What feels wrong about calling type 2 diabetes naturally progressive  • Using medication as a bridge while building lifestyle skills  • How sponsorships and incentives can bias health information  • The question to ask if a medication disappeared tomorrow Check out the article we reference here: https://tcoyd.org/2026/04/starting-a-glp-1/?utm_id=97757_v0_s00_e227_tv0 Ready to take control of your health and stop settling for “managed” diabetes?      Grab your earbuds and listen in.

Join the Type 2 Remission Room, our online podcast community: https://tinyurl.com/3a4ta86d We pull back the curtain on how we think about type 2 diabetes, why “chronic and progressive” is not the only story, and what it really takes to move toward remission. We lay out our five core beliefs, then map them into three practical pillars you can apply without extremes or shame. If you or someone you know wants to know where to start to put their Type 2 into remission, this is the episode that lays things out simply so you can start taking action with clarity today.

Join the Type 2 Remission Room, our online podcast community: https://tinyurl.com/3a4ta86d We respond to a listener who says the show can feel repetitive and explain why repetition is the whole point when you want real type 2 diabetes change.   We also call out the internet’s obsession with hacks, detox teas, and “miracle” supplements that drain wallets and attention while skipping the real needle movers. If you’ve ever chased a miracle cure, tried an unknown supplement, or asked why we seem to say the same things every week, we know you’ll love this episode.
