Send us a text Welcome back to The Balanced Blood Sugar Podcast ! In today’s episode, we’re diving into a crucial question that affects every part of your health journey: How can we know something is true? In a world where conflicting information surrounds us—especially in the medical field—it’s hard to know who or what to trust. Here’s what you can expect from this episode: My Story: Hear about my experience researching medical content in South America and discovering how certain studies were "geographically restricted" in the U.S. What information are we being denied access to, and why? The Role of Big Pharma: We’ll explore how pharmaceutical companies often sponsor studies with conclusions that don’t match the actual data, or are even ghostwritten to benefit their bottom line. Learn about the impact this has on the information we rely on to make health decisions. Who Can We Trust?: We’ll highlight respected figures in the alternative health space—like Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Mark Hyman, and Dr. Casey Means—who aren’t afraid to stand up for the truth, even when it challenges mainstream narratives. How to Read Medical Studies: I'll share tips for critically reading studies, understanding the methodology, and uncovering the truth for yourself. (And if you want a deep dive into this topic, let me know! I'm open to doing a future episode on it.) Faith and Truth: I discuss how my faith in Jesus guides me to discern truth from lies, even when it comes to health practices. When you seek Truth, you will find it, but it often requires digging deeper and questioning the status quo.

Send us a text In this eye-opening episode of The Balanced Blood Sugar Podcast , Adrienne unpacks why so many doctors don’t—or can’t —teach patients about holistic health solutions. From the constraints of the healthcare system to outdated medical education, and the tough decisions doctors face between job security and stepping outside the lines, this episode sheds light on the deeper systemic issues at play. Adrienne also shares practical tips for how you can take charge of your own health while giving grace to doctors navigating a broken system. Key Takeaways: Doctors are often restricted by hospital policies, insurance companies, and regulatory boards, which limit their ability to recommend nontraditional treatments. Medical education frequently lags behind the latest research, leaving doctors with outdated knowledge on nutrition and lifestyle interventions. Many doctors are victims of a system that prioritizes profits and policies over patient health, forcing them to make difficult choices about their careers and integrity. Functional medicine and direct primary care models are growing but often operate outside traditional insurance, making them less accessible to some patients. The importance of being your own health advocate—asking questions, doing research, and seeking providers who align with your values.
