A Doctor's Take on Diabetes, Food and Exercise

Hey friends, I hope you are having a fabulous day. 


I have so missed you! So much has happened since we last chatted.
Our daughter, and Boot Camp Challenge master trainer
extraordinaire, Victoria, was married at the end of April. And,
it was amazing.  We also ran a half marathon, attended a
college graduation, and partied at another wedding.  Oh, and
trip to Mexico where my husband battled a shark (or so he says).
Such a busy time…but I LOVE it!


And, now, I am back to you. And, I CAN’T wait so share with you
what I learned from Dr. Alison Ball.


Who is Dr. Ball, you ask?  Only the most brilliant D.O.
(Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) in the world! Okay, maybe that
is a bit overdramatic, but she is brilliant. And, do you know
what I like best about her?  She shares her info in a way we
can understand.  And, she has a real love and passion for
her patients.  And, she LOVES research and knowledge and
always learning.  Told you she was brill (brilliant). 


I met Dr. Ball a few months back. When I was doing our podcast
with Koop on diabetes (The Silent Killer and How to Keep It at
Bay with Food), we both had loads of questions about the disease,
what caused it, could it be prevented, etc. So, Koop suggested I
reach out to Dr. Ball, who works with diabetes on the
daily.  I asked her to join me on a podcast and answer all
our questions, and she said YES!


Here are just a few of the questions I asked Dr. Ball:


• What is the difference between a D.O and M.D.? (This was
for my own curiosity).

• What is diabetes? 

• Can diabetes be prevented?

• Can diabetes be cured? 

• Will neuropathy (numbness in feet) for sure happen if you have
diabetes?

• What is the NUMBER one strategy to AVOID diabetes?


As always, thank you, thank you, thank you for taking time to
listen to my podcast. I can’t tell you how honored I am to have
your time for just a moment. 


And, I appreciate all your ideas.  Please continue to share
with me what is important to you, want you want to learn about
and what I can provide to you to help you on your wellness
journey.


Much love,


Lors
