| #43 - Rapid Fire Friday: All About Intermittent Fasting | 27 Feb 2026 | 00:25:29 | |
Hi listeners! This Rapid-Fire Friday hits four questions you need to know the answer to on your road to remission! Inside this episode, we answer the following questions: I lost 2lbs a week doing 16:8 intermittent fasting, but then the weight loss stopped after three weeks. Why did this happen? My doctor says intermittent fasting is dangerous for Type 2 diabetes. Is my doctor right? Do artificial sweeteners break a fast? Is intermittent fasting even good? I saw an article that says it’s no better than calorie counting.
If fasting has been on your mind, or you have ever thought about trying it for your blood sugar, this episode is a can’t miss!

| #42- 4 Reasons Diabetes Is a Muscle Problem, Not Just a Blood Sugar Problem | 20 Feb 2026 | 00:22:05 | |
Diabetes is usually framed as a blood sugar problem. But blood sugar is what we measure, not where the problem starts. In this episode, we explain four reasons diabetes is a muscle problem, not just a blood sugar problem, and why muscle plays a central role in glucose control and insulin resistance. We cover:
This isn’t about lifting heavy weights or following extreme programs. If managing blood sugar has felt frustrating or incomplete, this episode offers a clearer framework. We also mention getting ahold of our steady strengthening workout to start building your muscle!

| #34 - Muscle Masterclass For Type 2 Reversal With Dr. Ben | 26 Dec 2025 | 00:36:03 | |
In this episode (and dare we say masterclass) of The Diabetes Remission Roadmap, Cory gets to interview our FIRST PODCAST GUEST in the show’s history (while Brian shovels snow in Ohio). Dr. Ben Bocchicchio is an exercise physiologist and fitness pioneer and he helps unpack why muscle is one of the most powerful tools for improving blood sugar and insulin resistance. Dr. Ben explains how muscle acts as a metabolic “sink” for glucose, allowing blood sugar to be absorbed and stored even without insulin. Building and activating muscle increases insulin sensitivity, improves glucose control, and can reduce reliance on medications, especially for people with type 2 diabetes. The conversation dives into Dr. Ben’s high-intensity, low-impact strength training approach, which uses short (12–15 minute), twice-weekly sessions designed to safely deplete muscle glycogen and activate the body’s natural energy systems. This method is adaptable to all fitness levels and challenges the idea that long workouts are necessary for metabolic health. Cory and Dr. Ben agrees: strategic strength training isn’t optional, it’s foundational for blood sugar control, diabetes remission, and long-term health. Key takeaways:

| #33 - Type 2 Starts at 2: How Sugar Wires Our Kids’ Brains Earlier Than You Think | 19 Dec 2025 | 00:23:28 | |
Hi listeners! Long before children choose candy on their own, their brains are already being wired for sweetness. In fact, research shows taste preferences can begin in utero, and the modern food environment only accelerates that conditioning once kids are born. We’ll unpack:
This isn’t about blame or fear. It’s about awareness, stewardship, and giving your family a better foundation in a culture stacked against them.

| #31 - The Truth About Satiety: Eat More, Stress Less, Lower Your A1C | 05 Dec 2025 | 00:25:24 | |
Most people with Type 2 are taught to “just control your portions.” In this episode, we break down why what you eat matters far more than how much you eat. When you choose foods with real satiety—protein-forward, fiber-rich, energizing foods—your appetite naturally calms down. Cravings fade. Blood sugar steadies. And portion control stops feeling like a daily fight. You’ll learn If you’re tired of white-knuckling your meals, this episode will feel like freedom. You don’t need to eat less. You just need to eat smarter—and your body does the rest.

Ever feel like every food decision comes with a side of confusion? In this rapid-fire episode, Brian and Cory answer listener questions about three things that trip up almost everyone with Type 2: • Whole wheat vs white pasta and whether it actually matters for your blood sugar If you’ve ever stared at a label, second-guessed a meal, or wondered why every nutrition rule seems to contradict the last one, this episode brings the clarity you’ve been craving.

| #28 - “Is Sugar the Villain… or Just the Fall Guy?” | 14 Nov 2025 | 00:22:24 | |
Cory just got back from traveling, and couldn't believe how much free sugar was offered before most people had even finished their morning coffee. But here’s where the debate starts…Brian pushes back. Because sugar is a problem… but it’s not the only problem. In this episode, we break down why the food industry wants you to blame fat, big pharma wants you to blame sugar, and why the truth sits somewhere in the messy middle. If you’ve ever felt confused about what actually causes Type 2 diabetes — or why your doctor says one thing while food labels say something else — this one will finally make things click. You’ll learn: If you want clarity… and you’re tired of the blame game… this episode gives you the real story in a way that finally makes sense.

| Emergency Episode: GLP-1 Patient Assistance Programs Are Ending — Here’s What It Means for You | 31 Oct 2025 | 00:07:35 | |
Breaking news for anyone on GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy): major patient assistance programs are being dropped for Medicare patients. In this emergency episode, Cory unpacks what this means, why it’s another wake-up call to stop outsourcing your health to a system built on profit, and how to protect yourself from skyrocketing costs and dependency. You’ll hear what’s really behind the decision, what patients should expect next, and why building strength, improving insulin sensitivity, and focusing on lifestyle change is the only secure long-term strategy.

| #27 - The Rebel Mindset: Escaping the Diabetes Medication Trap | 24 Oct 2025 | 00:19:51 | |
Most people with Type 2 diabetes are stuck in patterns they know aren’t working — but can’t seem to break. In this episode, Brian breaks down why that happens — and how the illusion of control from medication keeps so many people trapped in the patient mindset. You’ll learn the key difference between the Patient Mindset (getting things done to you) and the Rebel Mindset (taking ownership and doing things for yourself). If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still not getting healthier… this episode will show you how to escape the medication control mentality and finally build momentum that lasts.

| #26 - Faith, Health, and Freedom: Why God Doesn’t Want You in the Diabetes Trap | 14 Oct 2025 | 00:20:51 | |
Would a good Father want His child to stay diabetic, sick, and stuck on medications forever? Of course not. But that’s exactly what the modern sick-care system quietly expects — take your meds, manage your numbers, come back every six months… forever. In this episode, we unpack why that is not God’s plan for your life. You’ll discover how He designed your body with incredible healing power, why the current system focuses on management instead of root causes, and how faith and physiology work together to reverse type 2 diabetes naturally. Whether you’ve felt frustrated with your care, confused about what to do next, or just tired of living trapped, this conversation will give you hope, clarity, and a clear next step toward freedom.

Most people already know what they should eat to improve their blood sugar. That’s not the problem. In this episode, we break down five reasons knowing what to eat doesn’t always translate into doing it, and why that’s not a character flaw. We cover: · How too many choices (the buffet effect) sabotage decisions · Why environment beats willpower · How stress hijacks the brain and drives quick-energy eating · The trap of comfort eating disguised as self-care · Why too many rules create paralysis instead of progress This is not about trying harder.

In this episode, Brian shares those truths, why they caused a divide with the traditional pharmacy world, and his personal story of falling into — and escaping — the diabetes trap.

| #23 - The Hidden Math Behind Reversing Type 2 Diabetes | 23 Sep 2025 | 00:13:26 | |
In this solo episode, Cory pulls back the curtain on what really drives diabetes reversal — and it’s not the crash diets or miracle meds you’ve been sold. It’s the hidden math of daily choices. Just like compound interest, every decision adds up. A skipped walk here, an extra soda there, or a workout cut short doesn’t feel like much in the moment… until those little choices compound into a diagnosis. The good news? The same math works in your favor. Small shifts — like walking after meals, adding light strength training, or swapping refined carbs — compound into lower blood sugar, more energy, and lasting freedom from meds. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the “must-do” advice, this episode will show you how to simplify, focus, and finally get momentum toward the future you want.

| #22 - From Stuck to Certain: Breaking the System’s Hold on You | 16 Sep 2025 | 00:21:27 | |
Most people living with type 2 diabetes aren’t failing because they lack willpower. They’re stuck because the healthcare system gave them outdated advice, rushed appointments, and little clarity about what actually works. In this episode, we unpack the three big barriers holding people back:

| #50 - The Most Overlooked Blood Sugar Habit Has Nothing to Do With Food or Exercise | 08 Apr 2026 | 00:18:23 | |
We talk a lot about diet, exercise, and blood sugar on this podcast. But one of the most powerful influences on blood sugar and long-term health is something much simpler: relationships. In this special episode, recorded TOGETHER live from Cory’s home in Tucson while Brian visited, we step back from nutrition and talk about the role that connection, friendship, and community play in blood sugar and overall health. From lowering stress to improving habits and resilience, the people around us can shape our health more than we realize. We also talk about why modern life makes meaningful connection harder, and why investing in relationships may be one of the most overlooked health habits. Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do isn’t a workout or a diet change. It’s spending time with people you care about.
