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.
TrueMedXās 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.
Hey friends, Chip here. If you've been following Chip Talks Health, you know Iām always digging into the real stories behind our broken health systemāand searching for people who are doing something about it. This episode might just be one of our most important yet.
I sat down with Tim Keller from U.S. Diabetes Care to talk about whatās really going on with diabetes in this country. Spoiler alert: the problem isnāt just blood sugarāitās the whole dang system. We covered everything from whatās wrong with the current model to how functional approaches and natural tools (like the ones we offer at TrueMedX) are actually helping people heal.
We know everyone learns differentlyāso whether you like to read, watch, or listen, weāve got you covered.

No matter how you tune in, this conversation with Tim Keller will change the way you think about diabetes care in America.
"Once you do these things, you really shut off those triggers of the brain when you try to drink that stuff again later, it really doesn't taste good or satisfy you."
Timās organization is out here doing what the traditional system wonāt: 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 numbersāit offers real connection, coaching, and care.
This isnāt about quick fixes or more prescriptions. Itās about reversing the disease by fixing the root causes. And that, my friends, is where the magic happens.
One of the most impressive things about U.S. Diabetes Care is the depth of their mobile app. This isnāt just a place to log blood sugar readings. Itās 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.
Letās be honestāthe 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. Itās not that doctors donāt careāitās that theyāre trapped in a system that doesnāt pay them to.
Diabetes doesnāt 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.
Timās 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
Now yāall know Iām a big believer in supporting the body where it starts: at the cellular level. Thatās where the TrueMedX Metabolic Support Bundle comes in. This isnāt your average supplement stackāitās a phased protocol designed to help restore gut health, reduce inflammation, and get your metabolism back on track.
This bundle includes:
Cleanse the Gut (Days 1ā15):
Supports microbial balance, digestive health, and nutrient absorption.
Restore & Rebuild (After Day 15):
Promotes gut lining recovery, reduced inflammation, and immune resilience.
Metabolic Activation:
Helps support energy metabolism, appetite control, and fasting-friendly focus.
This bundle delivers a science-informed, full-body reset with foundational nutrients, botanical support, and endocannabinoid system activation.
Pair this bundle with Timās care plan and youāve got a recipe for real, lasting change.
Tim and I are affiliate partners because our missions align. U.S. Diabetes Care handles the coaching and accountability. TrueMedX brings the metabolic support at the cellular level.

Together, we give people real tools to improve insulin resistance, reduce inflammation, and feel like themselves again.
I always sayāweāre not broken, weāre out of balance. What Tim is doing at U.S. Diabetes Care, and what weāre doing at TrueMedX, is helping restore that balance.
This episode is about more than diabetes. Itās about reclaiming health, one person at a time. Give it a listen, share it with someone you love, and letās keep building a system that actually helps people get well.
Thanks for being part of this movement.
