It's July, the month of celebrations! From my birthday at the start of the month to the fireworks on the 4th, there's so much joy in the air. But amidst all the fun, let's not forget about our health. Today on the Dr. Jim Cares podcast, I'm Dr. Augustine from Head of Wellness, diving into the sweet yet serious issue of sugar.

Sugar can be a silent saboteur, leading to chronic inflammation and undermining the benefits of a low-carb, carnivore diet. This diet focuses on bioavailable nutrients from animal protein and fat, steering clear of the defense chemicals in fruits and veggies.

Join us as we explore the dangers of sugar, its impact on metabolic health, and how it contributes to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. Tune in to learn how to break free from sugar, especially during this sugar-heavy holiday month!
