Fasting blood sugar was 340… and 4 weeks later it was 140.

That’s the kind of change that gets people’s attention 👀

On my appearance with Dr. Sameer Islam on Let’s Talk P**p, we talked about what’s possible when you stop chasing symptoms and start addressing the root cause of type 2 diabetes.

At Live Life Well Clinic, I’ve seen patients make incredible progress with a functional medicine approach to type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and blood sugar control—using real lifestyle change, not just more medication.

If you’re looking for support, there are 2 ways to get started:

✅ At-Home Metabolic Reset Guide
An 8-week, physician-written program designed to help you lower A1C naturally, improve insulin resistance, and support better blood sugar through low-glycemic nutrition, stress reduction, movement, and sleep optimization.

✅ Live Life Well Clinic Diabetes Reversal Program:
For those who want more personalized help, our 1:1 diabetes reversal care is designed to identify what’s driving your blood sugar issues and create a custom plan to help you reduce medications, improve metabolic health, and pursue true healing.

If you’ve been told to “just watch it get worse,” it may be time for a different conversation.

This little change can help you more than that 💉GLP-1 💊….

Your existing muscles are more powerful than any prescription — and here’s the science to prove it.

Every time you eat, your blood sugar rises and peaks 30–60 minutes after your meal.

Those repeated spikes drive hyperinsulinemia — the root cause of insulin resistance. But a 15-minute walk can interrupt that entire cascade.

When you walk after eating, muscle contractions trigger GLUT4 transporters to absorb glucose directly — no insulin required.

You’re bypassing the broken system entirely!

The research is clear: three 15-minute walks after meals outperform a single 45-minute session for 24-hour blood sugar control.

Starting movement before glucose peaks — about 15 minutes after eating — blunts the spike and reduces overall glucose response.

But here’s the thing you need to know:
Walking alone won’t reverse insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.

It’s one piece of a larger puzzle.

❌Sleep deprivation raises fasting glucose. ❌Chronic stress keeps cortisol — and blood sugar — elevated.
❌Ultra-processed foods deepen inflammation.
‼️And without muscle mass, your body has nowhere to store glucose.

What actually reverses it? Small, free, consistent habits:

✅ Protein-forward meals
✅ Walk after every meal
✅ Prioritize 7–9 hours of RESTORATIVE sleep (See )
✅ Make time for God’s word and rest to manage stress!

The injection suppresses appetite. It can’t build your metabolic foundation. These habits can — and they’re free.

Save this. Share it with someone who thinks medication is their only option. 👇

If you’re working on blood sugar… your flour matters more than you think. 🌾🧇

Not all waffles have to send your blood sugar on a rollercoaster.

If you’re trying to make more blood sugar friendly swaps, fresh milled spelt flour is one of my favorite ways to upgrade a breakfast favorite without giving up the fun stuff.

Because when you use fresh milled spelt, you keep the bran + germ intact… which means you keep more of the nutrients that are stripped out of ultra-processed white flour.

Fresh milled whole spelt flour (approx. per 100g) contains:
✔️ ~367 calories
✔️ ~13g protein
✔️ ~13g fiber
✔️ ~77g carbohydrates
✔️ ~407mg potassium
✔️ ~3.3mg iron
✔️ Plus naturally occurring minerals like manganese and magnesium

That matters because fiber + protein + intact grain structure can support a slower blood sugar response compared to refined flour.

No, I’m not saying waffles are a “free food.”
But I am saying the ingredients you choose matter.

So if you want a simple ancient grain waffle recipe that feels cozy and a little more supportive for metabolic health, here you go 👇

Fresh Milled Spelt Waffles Recipe 🧇
• 1 1/2 cups spelt flour
• 2 tbsp coconut sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional, but makes it taste like birthday cake 🎂)
• 2 tbsp melted butter (add last)

Directions:
Mix the dry ingredients first, then add the wet ingredients, adding the melted butter last.

If you’re working on insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, or just trying to make your carbs work with your body instead of against it… this is the kind of simple kitchen swap that adds up over time.

Save this for your next breakfast or send it to your favorite brunch friend!

And if you make these, come back and tell me if you did the birthday cake version 😏

Making sourdough at home is BEST on the Good, Better, Best scale, but if life gets too busy, sourdough from The Breads and The Bees is your next best bet.

(This is not sponsored and not an ad; we just love having a viable option when life gets too busy to make our own.)

Every week, you can find various varieties of sourdough made with fresh milled ancient grains - usually sourdough with Kamut or Einkorn.

This week, we stocked up on their 806 Sourdough made with Kamut (Khorasan) grains.

Let’s talk about why we love sourdough made with Kamut…

What the research shows:

✔️ KAMUT wheat has shown higher protein, higher amylose, and higher antioxidant compounds (like polyphenols, flavonoids, and carotenoids) vs modern control wheat in published research.

✔️ Bread Beckers notes Kamut is 17–18% protein, about 30% higher in vitamin E, and higher in minerals than common wheat.

✔️ In a randomized crossover trial in people with type 2 diabetes, replacing modern wheat products with ancient khorasan wheat products for 8 weeks led to SIGNIFICANT reductions in blood glucose (-9.1%) and insulin (-16.3%).

✔️ Sourdough fermentation may help improve glycemic response in some settings and can reduce phytic acid, which may improve mineral bioavailability. Results depend on the flour and fermentation process.

No, bread isn’t “magic.”
But fresh-milled sourdough + ancient-grain Kamut is a very different conversation from ultra-processed commercial bread.

They are open every Thursday and Friday, 12-6.

Stop by and stock up!

If that hits a little too close to home… your thyroid may deserve a second look.

In functional medicine, we see this all the time:

You’re told your thyroid labs are normal, but you still feel…
• Exhausted for no reason
• Anxious or emotionally fragile
• Puffy, inflamed, or gaining weight
• Constipated
• Cold all the time
• Losing hair
• Struggling with brain fog and low motivation

That’s because “NORMAL” doesn’t always mean OPTIMAL.

A basic thyroid panel often misses the bigger picture.

Functional medicine thyroid evaluation looks deeper at things like:

✔️ Free T3 & Free T4
✔️ Reverse T3
✔️ Thyroid antibodies (Hashimoto’s screening)
✔️ Cortisol / adrenal stress patterns
✔️ Gut health + inflammation
✔️ Nutrient deficiencies like iron, selenium, zinc, and B vitamins

Because if your mood is unstable, your energy is crashing, and your body feels off…

You may not be “too sensitive.”
You may be dealing with underlying thyroid dysfunction, thyroid hormone conversion issues, or early Hashimoto’s that standard labs aren’t catching.

📞 If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but you know something isn’t right, schedule your FREE Thyroid Discovery Call with Dr. Skelton.

We’ll help you figure out if a deeper functional medicine thyroid approach is the missing piece.🧩

“No added sugar” doesn’t mean what you think it means…

If you’re trying to improve blood sugar, insulin resistance, metabolic health, weight loss, inflammation, or Type 2 diabetes, one of the most important grocery store skills you can build is this:

👉 Learn the hidden names for sugar on food labels.

According to Healthline, there are 56 common names for sugar used in packaged foods — including names like dextrose, maltodextrin, fructose, cane juice crystals, agave nectar, brown rice syrup, and fruit juice concentrate.

That means sugar can be hiding in products marketed as “healthy,” “natural,” or “high protein.”

And here’s the sneaky part:

Food companies often use multiple different sweeteners in the same product, which can make each one appear lower on the ingredient list — even though together, sugar may be one of the biggest ingredients in the food.

What to look for on your next grocery trip:

✔️ Ingredients ending in -ose (glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose)

✔️ Anything called a syrup (corn syrup, rice syrup, malt syrup, HFCS)

✔️ “Healthy” sweeteners like agave, coconut sugar, maple syrup, cane juice, or fruit juice concentrate.

✔️ Products with 3+ different sweeteners in one ingredient list.

✔️ Foods that look healthy but are often loaded with hidden sugar: protein bars, yogurt, granola, cereal, salad dressings, pasta sauce, and coffee creamers

If you want better blood sugar control, better energy, fewer cravings, and more stable metabolic health, start here:

Read labels.
Buy more whole foods.
Don’t let marketing do your grocery shopping for you.

‘Zero sugar” doesn’t always mean healthy.

As a functional medicine physician, one of the biggest things I try to teach patients with type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and metabolic dysfunction is this:

Food labels can be misleading.

If it says “zero sugar,” “low fat,” “natural flavors,” or “sugar free,” that does NOT automatically mean it supports healthy blood sugar.

Many packaged foods still contain hidden sugars under different names—things like maltodextrin, dextrose, corn syrup solids, evaporated cane juice, rice syrup, fructose, sucrose, and dozens more.

There are 30+ different names for sugar you may see on ingredient labels.

And here’s the part most people with type 2 diabetes aren’t told:

Artificial sweeteners aren’t a free pass either.

From a functional medicine perspective, artificial sweeteners may still contribute to:

- Cravings and appetite dysregulation
- Gut microbiome disruption
- Worsened insulin signaling in some people
- A continued dependence on ultra-processed “diabetic” foods

Just because something doesn’t spike glucose immediately doesn’t mean it’s helping your metabolic health long-term.

If you want to improve A1C, insulin resistance, and blood sugar naturally, stop focusing only on the front of the package…

Start reading the ingredient list.

Real food heals. Marketing doesn’t.
