#2 of 12: Know This Number – Natural Ways to Lower Blood Sugar & Live Long & Strong | Dr. Don Colbert, MD ep. 2
📺 Watch the Full Video Below:
Nearly 50% of Americans are either diabetic or pre-diabetic—and most don’t even realize it. In Episode 2 of Do You Know Your Number?, Dr. Don Colbert, alongside Kyle and Mary Colbert, reveals why knowing your hemoglobin A1C may be the most critical number for your long-term health.
What Is Hemoglobin A1C?
Your A1C is a blood test that shows your average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months. It reveals how much glucose has attached to your red blood cells and helps identify early warning signs of diabetes or pre-diabetes.
-
A1C below 5.7% = Healthy
-
5.7–6.4% = Pre-Diabetic
-
6.5% or higher = Type 2 Diabetes
“We reverse Type 2 diabetes all the time,” Dr. Colbert shares. “And almost no one believes us—until their blood sugar is under 5.7 and their doctor is shocked.”
The Hidden Dangers of High Blood Sugar
Dr. Colbert warns that high blood sugar levels silently accelerate aging and disease—even if you’re not overweight. Elevated glucose:
-
Ages your organs, skin, arteries, and brain
-
Increases plaque in arteries (especially the penile artery in men—leading to ED)
-
Raises your risk of stroke, dementia, kidney disease, and more
“High A1C is like termites in your house—you can’t always see it, but it’s slowly destroying your foundation.”
Why Most People Struggle
Cravings for sugar and refined carbs are not just about willpower. As Mary Colbert admits:
“I’m a carbaholic. I love chips and donuts. But I had to make a decision—do I want to check out early because of a donut?”
These cravings often stem from insulin resistance, the root cause of Type 2 diabetes. Fortunately, there’s a path to reversing it.
Dr. Colbert’s 4 Keys to Lowering A1C Naturally
-
Follow the Beyond Keto Diet
A powerful blend of the Keto and Mediterranean diets, designed to burn fat and reduce inflammation. -
Use Targeted Supplements
-
Carb Assist – combines berberine, alpha-lipoic acid, chromium, cinnamon, and more to support healthy blood sugar
-
Extra Berberine – helps mimic the effects of blood sugar-lowering medications
-
Fiber Zone – lowers the glycemic impact of meals and curbs cravings
-
-
Track Your Numbers
Just like elite athletes track performance metrics, you should track your A1C, fasting glucose, and inflammation markers like hs-CRP. -
Add Intermittent Fasting & Movement
Combine walking, strength training, or cardio with a consistent fasting routine to increase insulin sensitivity.
The Good News: Your Body Can Heal
“You don’t catch diabetes—you develop it from years of wrong choices. The good news is you can reverse it by making the right ones,” says Dr. Colbert.
When you support your body with the right tools—faith, food, supplements, and lifestyle—it responds. Healing begins. Energy returns. And diseases retreat.
