GPS: The 3-Letter Code to Reversing Type 2 Diabetes

Forget everything you've been told about "healthy" carbs — whole wheat bread, oatmeal, and brown rice might be sabotaging your blood sugar just as badly as candy. In this episode, David and Jared break down GPS: Grains, Potatoes, and Sugar — the three categories doing the most damage to blood sugar control, and why food companies bury them under dozens of disguised names on ingredient labels. In this episode: (00:00) What GPS stands for and why it's the first place to start reversing type 2 diabetes (01:22) Why whole wheat bread spikes blood sugar worse than table sugar (02:07) The oatmeal myth — how a "healthy breakfast" staple converts to sugar the moment it hits your mouth (03:48) White rice vs. brown rice: is the difference actually meaningful? (05:05) How potatoes and potato starch hide in foods you'd never suspect — like shredded cheese (06:38) The dozens of aliases for potato starch and sugar on ingredient labels (maltodextrin, dextrose, agave nectar, and more) (10:33) A real CGM story: how hidden high-fructose corn syrup in sausage and hot dogs caused an unexpected blood sugar spike (13:23) Why sugar is the best place to start — and how long withdrawal and taste bud reset actually take (14:55) Jared's own turning point after learning about GPS The takeaway: you don't have to eliminate everything overnight. Pick one — grains, potatoes, or sugar — and start there. Small, consistent shifts add up to real, lasting change. None of this is medical advice — just education to help you make informed decisions about your own health.
