There is clear scientific evidence that validates the idea that lifestyle interventions like caloric restriction, fasting, and a ketogenic support the health of positive gene pathways, enhance the production of endogenous stem cells, power up the brain, increase the production of antioxidants, and even reduce inflammation. But there is no doubt that implementing these ideas, in terms of creating a workable diet, may well prove challenging. Our guest today on The Empowering Neurologist is Prof. Valter Longo. Dr. Longo has created a new dietary approach that in many ways mimics the effectiveness of the more difficult approaches described above, but at the same time is much easier to implement. He calls this diet the Fasting-Mimicking Diet, or FMD, and it is described in great detail in his new, best-selling book, The Longevity Diet (http://amzn.to/2D2YFnD). Let's learn more in today's interview. http://bit.ly/2AOkYse

Low magnesium concentrations lead to insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, and decreased insulin secretion. Magnesium supplementation improve insulin sensitivity and lowers insulin resistance.

A growing body of concerning research indicates that conventional medicine's standard of care for type 2 diabetes, including synthetic insulin and oral anti-diabetic drugs, may actually increase morbidity and mortality. On the other hand, recently validated traditional approaches relying on plant-based medicines may greatly mitigate the global diabetes epidemic.

There are a couple of different pieces of advice I can give you that will make a huge difference in helping you control your blood sugar. Diabetes is a disease of choice. If we're talking about type 2 diabetes, a lot of doctors will tell you it's family history, a lot of doctors will blame your genetics. And one of the reasons we're seeing the popularity of the ketogenic diet emerge as possibly the best diet for diabetes - this diet works for people, and they are feeling better, feeling healthier, having more energy, losing weight, regulating their blood sugar as they cut back on carbs. Ketogenic is actually a step in the opposite direction from diabetes, whereas diabetes is a carbohydrate toxic diet. Remember, most diets in the United States are 60 to 80% carbohydrate, 20% protein, 10% fat, so it's the complete opposite of what it should be, but if you bring it to balance, it makes a huge difference in blood sugar and blood sugar regulation. Remember, one of the ways we regulate blood sugar is muscle mass. Muscles help your body utilize glucose and muscles help your insulin receptors work better. And so that might look like 10,000 steps a day, meaning making sure you're walking at least five miles a day and you might also want to think about incorporating some body weight activity, pushups, pull ups, squats, lunges, plank holds, jump ropes, burpees, body weight movements that will help your body build muscle tone without injuring yourself, because many diabetics are overweight, so doing too much heavy weight is already hard on their joints. So body weight activity is the best place to start for somebody who's overweight with Type 2 diabetes. Remember, grains promote elevation in blood sugar, they promote elevation and cortisol, which disrupts the way your insulin works.

Dr. Hallberg once gave a terrific TEDx and will discuss her ongoing research on today’s episode of the Empowering Neurologist.

Mouse fathers under psychological stress were more likely to have offspring with high blood sugar compared to their unstressed counterparts. In a study, researchers link this difference to an epigenetic change in the stressed dad's sperm -- a change that they could prevent by blocking the father's stress hormones. The study adds to growing evidence that a male's life experience can be passed down through more than his genetic code alone.

Research indicates that you don't need drugs to control blood sugar. Food, herbs, and spices are the future of medicine
