Summary: Key Takeaways

Tim Keller and U.S. Diabetes Care are redefining diabetes treatment through education, accountability, and functional support.

The U.S. healthcare system focuses too much on managing symptoms instead of preventing and reversing disease.

The U.S. Diabetes Care app includes real coaching, education, and practical tools for daily progress.

TrueMedX’s Metabolic Support Bundle enhances cellular health with gut-focused and anti-inflammatory botanicals.

Together, these tools form a powerful, people-first alternative to traditional diabetes care.

Tim Keller - US Diabetes Care

What Is U.S. Diabetes Care in America?

Tim’s organization is out here doing what the traditional system won’t: spending time with patients, listening to their stories, and empowering them to take charge of their health. U.S. Diabetes Care offers a mobile app that goes way beyond tracking numbers—it offers real connection, coaching, and care.


This isn’t about quick fixes or more prescriptions. It’s about reversing the disease by fixing the root causes. And that, my friends, is where the magic happens.

The App: Tools, Coaching, and Real Support

One of the most impressive things about U.S. Diabetes Care is the depth of their mobile app. This isn’t just a place to log blood sugar readings. It’s a powerful platform loaded with:


  • Live coaching sessions with real practitioners who care

  • Educational video content explaining everything from insulin resistance to grocery shopping tips

  • Nutrition tracking and wellness prompts

  • Progress monitoring that actually makes sense

  • Accountability check-ins and milestone tracking

The app turns your phone into a daily support system. For people feeling lost or overwhelmed by their diagnosis, this tool helps you feel connected, guided, and empowered every single day.



The Broken System: Symptoms Over Solutions


"Mountain Dew and sweet tea aren't a good health choice." - Tim Keller - US Diabetes Care


Let’s be honest—the way we treat chronic illness in the U.S. is backward. We treat symptoms, not people. We push meds, not education. We rush through 10-minute appointments and call that healthcare.


Tim and I get into why that is, and how the current reimbursement structure is built to support illness, not wellness. It’s not that doctors don’t care—it’s that they’re trapped in a system that doesn’t pay them to.


A Functional Approach to Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes doesn’t have to be a life sentence. And if you've heard me talk about the endocannabinoid system or cellular health, you know we can do better than symptom management.


Tim’s approach lines up beautifully with what we believe at TrueMedX:

  • Test and assess the whole person

  • Monitor continuously and support accountability

  • Educate and empower

  • Use nature-based products and nutrition to support healing

Final Thoughts from Me

I always say—we’re not broken, we’re out of balance. What Tim is doing at U.S. Diabetes Care, and what we’re doing at TrueMedX, is helping restore that balance.


This episode is about more than diabetes. It’s about reclaiming health, one person at a time. Give it a listen, share it with someone you love, and let’s keep building a system that actually helps people get well.


Thanks for being part of this movement.

Stay curious, stay hopeful,

—Chip
