"I reversed my prediabetes when I cut out processed sugar": Dr. Jonar
July 12, 2026
In this episode, you'll hear from Dr. Jonar, an internal medicine physician and lifestyle medicine expert, about his own struggle with processed sugar.
Sugar was at the heart of Dr. Jonar's emotional eating, insulin resistance, and prediabetes.
He explains why so many chronic diseases are driven by lifestyle, why nutrition receives so little attention in medical training, and how processed sugar affects the brain, the gut microbiome, and long-term health.
We also discuss sugar addiction, diabetes, GLP-1 medications, the role of the microbiome, and why changing your habits is more often the key to lasting health than taking medications.
Dr. Jonar's story offers you practical insights and an encouraging reminder that deep and lasting change is possible, even after a diagnosis of prediabetes.
