  • Feeds the soul

    For a period of several years while living in SoCal, I attended the church that Ken Fong pastored. It’s been a couple of decades since but I have missed his insights. I love how this podcasts exist. As a Christ follower it challenges us how to grapple with a lot of hard cultural issues and continue to be a light while being empathetic, inclusive and biblical.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 600: Dr. Jonar de Guzman On Permanently Reversing Insulin Resistance
Q: What is the price consideration of the program and how do people weigh it against ongoing medication costs?
The program is not cheap, but the cost is weighed against long-term medication expenses and health risks; insurance rarely covers it, so clients consider the value of long-term health and freedom over immediate savings.
EP 600: Dr. Jonar de Guzman On Permanently Reversing Insulin Resistance
Q: What does a typical coaching session look like and how do you assess if someone qualifies for the program?
Each client undergoes a free real-time assessment to determine needs and fit; the program is personalized and delivered virtually, with 12-week blocks to achieve measurable health goals.
EP 600: Dr. Jonar de Guzman On Permanently Reversing Insulin Resistance
Q: Can you walk us through how your program uses nutrition and movement to manage blood sugar beyond simply cutting carbs?
We sequence meals to favor plants and fibers, encourage post-meal movement, and teach clients to align their heritage with health goals, using fiber, plant-first meals, and timing to improve glucose control.
EP 600: Dr. Jonar de Guzman On Permanently Reversing Insulin Resistance
Q: With your background, how do you take a new client on the health journey without relying on pills alone?
By combining knowledge of why insulin resistance happens, habit-aware insights, mindfulness-based skill-building, and a practical system that fits real life, we guide clients to reverse insulin resistance and sustain healthier patterns.
EP 597: Media Mogul & Trailblazer Yue-Sai Kan On How She Changed the Media (and Beauty Standards) of 400 Million People
Q: What three questions do you ask yourself before you take on anything new?
I ask whether I am truly good at it, whether I have the passion that makes me lose track of time, and whether what I'm doing benefits others as well as myself.
