Welcome to Blood Sugar Unfiltered, the podcast that cuts through the confusion and gives you real strategies for living well with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and insulin resistance.
Hosted by Russ Powell, a leading voice in diabetes nutrition, women’s health, and blood sugar coaching, each episode helps you understand your A1c, master meal planning, and use CGM insights to eat with confidence not confusion.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed or years in, you’ll walk away with food freedom, clarity, and the tools to lower your blood sugar without burning out.
