Type 2 Diabetes PART 2: Medication and Lifestyle Management | #EP 29

Welcome back to another enlightening episode of Eat, Live, Move with your hosts Dr. Ross Walker and Dr. Gina Cleo. Today, we're diving deep into one of the most prevalent health concerns of our time: Type 2 Diabetes. Join us as we unravel the intricacies of its diagnosis, risk factors, and empowering lifestyle changes.

In this episode, our hosts discuss the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes, mentioning that it is currently on the rise globally, posing a significant public health challenge. Factors such as sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy dietary habits, and increasing obesity rates contribute to this alarming trend. Understanding the scope of this epidemic is crucial in addressing and combating its pervasive impact on individuals and communities worldwide.

Insulin resistance serves as a precursor to Type 2 Diabetes, leading to a condition known as pre-diabetes. This metabolic dysfunction impedes the body's ability to utilise insulin effectively, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels. Identifying and addressing insulin resistance early on can prevent the progression to full-fledged diabetes, highlighting the importance of proactive health management.

Dr. Walker and Dr. Cleo emphasise that living a healthy lifestyle is remarkably more effective than any pharmaceutical intervention in managing Type 2 Diabetes. From adopting a nutritious diet rich in whole foods to engaging in regular physical activity, lifestyle modifications offer unparalleled benefits for improving metabolic health and overall well-being. These holistic approaches address the root causes of diabetes and empower individuals to take control of their health destinies.

Recognising the symptoms and warning signs of diabetes is crucial for early detection and intervention. From increased thirst and frequent urination to unexplained weight loss and fatigue, these indicators signal the need for prompt medical evaluation. By staying vigilant and proactive, individuals can take proactive steps to manage their health effectively.

Meanwhile, our hosts emphasise the importance of consistency over intensity when it comes to making lasting lifestyle changes. Building healthy habits takes time and patience, and adopting a sustainable approach is key to long-term success. By prioritising gradual progress and incorporating small, manageable changes into daily routines, individuals can cultivate lifelong behaviours that support optimal health and well-being.

By understanding its diagnosis, risk factors, and the transformative potential of lifestyle interventions, we can empower ourselves to take proactive steps towards prevention and management. 

Join us next time as we continue our journey towards vibrant health and vitality on Eat, Live, and Move with Miyagi!

How Your Environment Impacts Your Goals | #EP 27

This week on "Eat, Live, & Move with Miyagi," Kate, the new Chief Transformation Officer of Miyagi and with Dr. Gina Cleo discusses the all-important topic of self-awareness in our health and wellness journey.

In a fast-paced world, it can be easy to rush or do things on autopilot with a lack of self-awareness or reflection. However, this can have a negative impact on our health-behaviours, and mean we aren’t stopping to reflect, or have awareness of our behaviours.

Kate and Dr. Gina talks about the importance of savouring a slower-paced life, and taking time to stop, pause and reflect to enjoy the present moments.

That means, when you find yourself thinking about something you need to do, or something that’s already happened, or something that might happen, gently bring yourself back to the present moment. Focus on what’s going on right now. On your actions, on your environment, on others around you. This takes practice but is essential.

Kate provides 3 practical tips to help you practise intentional reflection to “strengthen the muscle”  throughout your day to make the process easier.

One example is taking 3 deep breaths to improve mindfulness, and bring conscious attention to the present moment. Kate explains that this can work across many settings, for example whether that be before a new task, or to help with behaviours such as slowing down eating, or stopping impulsive drinking or eating. 

Stay tuned for more episodes of "Eat, Live, and Move with Miyagi". Remember, slowing down is a conscious choice, and not always an easy one, but it leads to a greater appreciation for life and a greater level of happiness.



Episode Highlights:
00:00 Coming up
01:46 What is self-awareness and its importance in personal growth?
08:27 Why does the conscious mind tend to focus attention?
10:24 What are human’s two brain systems?
12:20 Know these mindfulness practices to increase your self-awareness.
16:26 How to slow down and enjoy the present moment?
21:51 Learn how to savour each moment in life. 
30:10 Why it’s worth it to try sitting with your own discomfort instead of avoiding it. 
38:48 A question for Kate from Charlie.

About the Guest:
Kate's transformation began with a stressful corporate career that left her unfulfilled. She turned things around by integrating evidence-based tools and listening to her inner wisdom. This shift led her to leave her executive career in 2015 to start her coaching practice, achieving six figures in her first year through word-of-mouth referrals. She also lost 30 kilograms, overcame a 20+ year alcohol habit, and earned Honours Recognition for her MBA despite not finishing Year 12. Kate has designed a fulfilling life that allows her to make a positive impact daily.

In this new episode of "Eat, Live, &amp; Move with Miyagi," Dr. Ross Walker, a distinguished cardiologist and preventive health expert with 40 years experience, explores a topic that everyone should be aware of - stroke.
One in four people globally will have a stroke in their lifetime.So it's something that impacts a lot of people around the world, not just in Australia.
In this week’s episode, Dr Ross covers all things relating to stroke. He first explains that strokes, which affect many people worldwide, can be caused by a condition called atherosclerosis, which also contributes to heart attacks.
Dr. Ross discusses the two main types of strokes—hemorrhagic and ischemic—and explains their symptoms and causes. He emphasises the importance of recognising stroke symptoms early, such as sudden speech problems or weakness, and seeking medical help immediately.
Additionally, Dr. Ross talks about ways to prevent strokes, including managing high blood pressure and diabetes. He also touches on advanced treatments like clot removal and how they can benefit stroke patients.
He highlights the impact of family medical history and lifestyle choices on stroke risk, and recommends regular check-ups and a healthy lifestyle to prevent strokes.
Tune in to this episode to learn more about strokes and how to take proactive steps to protect your heart health.

Understanding Stroke and Its Impact on Wellbeing with Dr. Ross Walker | #23

There’s so much hype around supplements for health and wellbeing, but is there any merit to it? And is it backed by science?

In the latest episode of "Eat, Live, & Move with Miyagi," Dr Gina Cleo and Ross Walker explore the world of supplements, where Dr Ross shares his top 5 evidenced-based supplements specifically for heart health.

The conversation starts around supplements in general, and the role they can play in health and wellbeing. Dr Ross shares his 80:10:10 rule, and that 80% of your management should be lifestyle factors e.g. nutrition, regular movement, good quality sleep, 10% as evidenced-based supplements and 10% appropriate use of pharmaceutical drugs (where clinically indicated).Dr Ross stresses listeners that supplements are in fact a supplement, not a replacement for a good diet, regular movement and good quality sleep.

Dr Ross Walker then deep dives into the 5 key evidenced-based supplements he recommends to his patients for heart health including:
Bergamet Advanced 
Kyolic Garlic
Vitamin K2
Ubiquinol 
Magnesium Orotate 

For each supplement, Dr Ross and Dr Gina discuss the supplement, benefits, clinical research findings and any contraindications to consider. Tune in to this episode to gain valuable insights into the unique benefits of each supplement and their contribution to heart health.

Join the conversation on the latest research and insights into heart health supplements, offering practical advice for maintaining a healthy heart.

Top 5 Supplements for Heart Health with Dr. Ross Walker | #22

Dr. Gina Cleo and Dr. Ross Walker are back with another episode of 'Eat, Live, & Move with Miyagi.' This time, they're deep diving into one of the WORLD’s most evidenced-based diets - the Mediterranean diet!

But while it’s called a ‘diet,’ it's more a way of living for the Mediterranean people. Not only does it embody a holistic approach to nourishment, but it's also about regular movement, community, culture, and so much more!

In this episode, our hosts explore that the Mediterranean diet isn't just about fancy ingredients—it's about eating whole foods, lots of veggies and fruits, and enjoying some cheese now and then. It can also help reduce inflammation in your body and lower your risk of mental health problems. Plus, it can even help you look younger!

We know it's hard to give up your comfort foods like burgers and fried chicken, but Dr. Gina and Dr. Ross have some tips to help you out. They suggest cooking with olive oil instead of unhealthy fats and adding a salad to your meal.

So, if you're ready to start feeling healthier and happier, give this episode a listen. You might just find yourself loving olives and craving a stroll through a Mediterranean vineyard by the end.

Remember, taking care of your health now will pay off later. Stay informed, stay proactive, and your body will thank you in the long run.
