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.

Welcome back to Lower the Dose! In this episode, host and endocrinologist Dr. Rangi for a deep dive into an often-overlooked connection: how your metabolism can predict heart attacks, long before any symptoms show up in your arteries. We usually think of heart disease as something to do with cholesterol or family history, but as you’ll hear today, the earliest warning signs often come not from your heart, but from subtle shifts in your blood sugar, hormones, and even your sleep patterns.

Dr. Rangi breaks down the idea of the “silent decade”, the years when your body starts whispering about future troubles, if only you know how to listen. You’ll learn about the early metabolic signals that most doctors miss, why normal cholesterol isn’t the whole story, and how things like belly fat, sugar swings, and chronic stress stack up to put you at higher risk. Plus, practical tips you can use right away to start protecting your heart, long before you ever need a cardiologist.

If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s more you could be doing to stay ahead of heart disease, you won’t want to miss this conversation. Let’s get started!
