✨ ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Getting older is not your diagnosis. In this conversation, Ini, The Naija Goddess, sits down with Abio McCray, a registered nurse and home dialysis trainer with nearly 20 years in kidney care. Abio explains why inflammation and insulin resistance sit at the root of most “age-related” problems, how A1C can lull you into false confidence, and what hidden habits quietly spike blood sugar for years before disease shows up.
You will learn the early clues of insulin resistance, why salt phobia misses the point, how to talk to your doctor without getting brushed off, and why hospital saline tells a very different story about sodium. We close with a diabetes friendly cooking segment featuring low glycemic barbecue fava bean tofu, braised cabbage, and sorghum, plus an herbal spotlight on berberine, nature’s metformin.
Heal naturally. Live vibrantly.
