·50 min·3 clips

Dr. Patrice High discusses how lifestyle factors beyond food impact blood sugar management during Diabetes Awareness Week. She shares her personal journey from overweight/obese physician with family diabetes history to reversing course through the six pillars of lifestyle medicine. She explains the physiological mechanisms: chronic stress elevates cortisol→blood glucose→cravings→excess fat storage→insulin resistance→disease cycle.
