Why Does Cancer LOVE Diabetes?
Did you know, there’s a connection between diabetes and cancer? And the medical community is not sharing it.
The fact is, cancer cells consume large amounts of blood sugar. And like all living organisms, when there’s ample amounts of fuel, in the case of cancer it is blood sugar or glucose, the organism can thrive.
In this episode Barbara McDermott, founder of SHIFT Formula connects the dots between diabetes and cancer.
Cancer cells are designed to maximize their absorption of glucose from our blood. Cancer cells need about thirty times more glucose than healthy cells. And insulin which is released to reduce blood sugar, allows sugar into the cells. In effect, insulin opens the door for cancer cell growth.
But there is an obvious and simple solution. A low insulin diet puts a LID on cancer fuel and also returns the body to its natural, healthy non-diabetic state.
EPISODE #41
The Exercise Fat-Burning Zone Myth
We’ve been led to believe that when exercising, there’s a “ Fat Burning Zone” that we must be in to burn the most body fat. We even have expensive gadgets, charts and fitness trainers to that measure our heart rate so we can get into this magical fat-burning nirvana.
It’s a lot of hard work for no results!
In this episode Barbara McDermott dispels the myth of the fat-burning zone and the most important factor that is required to burn body fat during exercise.

What To Do When Diet & Exercise Aren’t Working
Exercising, eating healthy… doing all the right things and still not losing the belly fat?
There’s a very good chance you are insulin resistant.

EPISODE #38
Is a Low Insulin Diet For You?
There is a way of eating that keeps a body from releasing large quantities of insulin.
Insulin, the body’s fat storage and blood sugar lowering hormone, is at the very heart of a person’s ability to either gain weight or lose weight and the ability to accelerate aging and health decline or do the complete opposite.
Suffering from insulin resistance? That means you have too much insulin circulating in your body.
SHIFT is all about seeing food through this lens. Insulin. Keep insulin low, via a low insulin diet, and weight and health restore naturally.
