Welcome to Lower the Dose, Season 1: Diabetes and Metabolic Wellness. In today's episode, we go beyond standard medical advice and annual checkups, exploring the hidden story behind chronic metabolic disease. Host Dr. Rangi, whose decades of experience have inspired her upcoming book, The Silent Decade. Unravels the science and emotion behind a crucial concept: the "silent decade," a period of silent metabolic decline that quietly begins 10 to 20 years before a diagnosis of diabetes, heart disease, or even dementia.

You’ll hear how subtle changes rising insulin, creeping inflammation, and shifting body composition, often go unnoticed, while routine tests miss the early warning signs. Dr. Rangi shares personal stories, groundbreaking studies, and actionable advice on prevention, empowering listeners to take charge of their health before symptoms appear. If you’ve ever wondered if feeling tired or foggy is just age, listen in. This episode promises to shed light on what’s happening beneath the surface, why so many people are at risk without knowing it, and how knowledge can help activate change. Prevention, as Dr. Rangi says, doesn't begin with a prescription, it begins with awareness.
