Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that affects the way the body metabolizes sugar. It is characterized by a progressive loss of sensitivity to insulin, the pancreatic hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. In the early stages of type 2 diabetes, the body produces more insulin to try to overcome reduced insulin sensitivity; however, in the long run, the pancreas can’t produce enough insulin to maintain blood sugar levels, resulting in high blood sugar, or hyperglycemia.

Food Sensitivities

From hay fever to heart disease, eczema to heartburn, arthritis to IBS, inflammation often exacerbates, if not causes, a myriad of health problems. And when we eat foods that our bodies are sensitive to, they cause inflammation. The inflammation is caused by antibodies that are produced as the immune system is activated when it comes into contact with substances it perceives as “foreign” to our bodies. Depending on how healthy our intestines are, we acquire allergies and sensitivities throughout our lives.
