80: Diabetes Research Bites: Nutrient Deficiencies, Obesity Defined, Flashy Headlines and More

In this episode, Dr. Jedha breaks down some of the latest research headlines making waves—and cuts through the hype. We take a critical look at these claims and explore what the evidence actually says. Spoiler alert: not all research is good research, and some of it is downright misleading.

You’ll also hear about powerful natural strategies backed by real science—like the benefits of herbal teas, how redefining obesity could change care (for better or worse), and the widespread nutrient deficiencies affecting nearly half of people with type 2 diabetes. 

This episode is packed with practical takeaways, grounded in truth—not hype. If you’re tired of confusing health headlines and want clear, trustworthy insights, this one’s for you.
