Diabetes Digital Podcast by Food Heaven

In this episode of the Diabetes Digital Podcast, Registered Dietitian and co-founder Wendy Lopez breaks down what it really means when your A1C and cholesterol both come back higher than expected. If you've ever looked at your lab results and wondered if you now need to follow two different restrictive diets, this conversation is for you.

Wendy explains why blood sugar stability matters just as much as your A1C, how soluble fiber and heart-healthy fats can support both glucose and cholesterol levels, and why you don't have to give up the foods and cultural traditions you love to improve your health. She also shares how stress, sleep, and insulin resistance can influence your lab values and why a balanced, weight-inclusive approach is often more effective than focusing on restriction.
