#66 - Are Some Diabetes Programs Betting on You to Fail?

A “money-back guarantee” diabetes program sounds like it should give you confidence… until you notice the hidden incentive: if you don’t hit your goals, they keep your money.  That question kicked off a candid discussion about why type 2 diabetes behavior change is less about finding new information and more about building implementation, accountability, and real support that leads to remission-level results.  In this episode, we discuss:    • Why six weeks can be a misleading timeframe for A1C and medication reduction goals  • The difference between information and implementation and why most people already know the basics  • How “skin in the game” drives focus and follow-through  • Why accountability is less about policing and more about hard questions  • How low-cost fitness and health programs can rely on low engagement to work as a business model    If you have been struggling choosing the approach that gives you the best chance of success, better metabolic health, and a real return on investment compared to years of rising meds and complications, then this episode is for you.

#63 - Are More GLP-1 Medications The Answer for Type 2 Diabetes?

“Start GLP-1 meds earlier” sounds like a clean, modern solution to type 2 diabetes. But what happens when that advice quietly assumes diabetes is “naturally progressive” and that needing more medication over time is simply your fate?  A loyal listener sent us an article about the benefits of starting a GLP-1 earlier in Type 2 diabetes. In this episode, we give GLP-1 drugs their credit while calling out the “progressive and inevitable” story that can keep people stuck in medication dependence instead of rebuilding muscle, habits, and agency. We also cover:  • Why GLP-1 medications are some of the most effective diabetes drugs to date  • Why metformin stays first line for many people  • How cost, insurance coverage, and prescribing habits shape “standard of care”  • What feels wrong about calling type 2 diabetes naturally progressive  • Using medication as a bridge while building lifestyle skills  • How sponsorships and incentives can bias health information  • The question to ask if a medication disappeared tomorrow Check out the article we reference here: https://tcoyd.org/2026/04/starting-a-glp-1/?utm_id=97757_v0_s00_e227_tv0 [https://tcoyd.org/2026/04/starting-a-glp-1/?utm_id=97757_v0_s00_e227_tv0] Ready to take control of your health and stop settling for “managed” diabetes?      Grab your earbuds and listen in.
