The Plague of Pre-Diabetes with Jonny Bowden

Approximately 93% of the population is affected by an issue that predicts heart disease about 10 years before you have elevated cholesterol—and very few people realize they have it.  This same condition is the precursor to several common chronic illnesses, and your doctor probably isn’t testing for it.  The good news is, this condition is almost 100% treatable, preventable, and reversible if you know what to do.  In today’s episode, you’re going to learn what this epidemic is, why it’s critical to your health, and what you can do to avoid being another statistic. Join me and weight loss, metabolism, and anti-aging specialist and board-certified nutritionist Jonny Bowden for an eye-opening conversation about how to safeguard your health, now and for years to come.  Full show notes: https://jjvirgin.com/jonny Learn more about Jonny Bowden: https://www.jonnybowden.com Subscribe to my podcast: http://subscribetojj.com Read my book, The Sugar Impact Diet: https://store.jjvirgin.com/collections/books/products/sugar-impact-diet-paperback-book Read The Great Cholesterol Myth: https://amzn.to/43XsVJa Read The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: https://amzn.to/3OOZogt Study: Metabolic Syndrome and Related Disorders, Prevalence of Optimal Metabolic Health in American Adults: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009-2016: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30484738/ HOMA-IR calculator: https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/3120/homa-ir-homeostatic-model-assessment-insulin-resistance DEXA scan: https://dexascan.com/ YourLabWork advanced lipid panel: https://yourlabwork.com/jj-virgin/ Find it under cholesterol tests/heart health YourLabWork fasting insulin test: https://yourlabwork.com/jj-virgin/ Find it under sugar metabolism & diabetes screening Study: Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care: Sleep and Obesity: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3632337/ American Diabetes Association: https://diabetes.org/ Reignite WellnessTM All-in-One Shakes: https://store.jjvirgin.com/collections/shakes Catalina Crunch Keto Protein Cereal: https://amzn.to/47jLv0X Rockport Test calculator: https://www.sport-fitness-advisor.com/rockport-test-calculator.html Learn more about Blue Zones: https://www.bluezones.com/ Podcast: What Causes Obesity? with Dr. Richard Johnson: https://jjvirgin.com/main-podcast/what-causes-obesity-with-dr-richard-johnson-ep-490/ Get Jonny’s 7 Uncommon Daily Habits to Turbocharge Weight Loss & Energy: https://rockwell-health.com/7habits
