Signs You Have Diabetes & How to Rid Toenail Fungus -Dr. Tom Biernacki

About this video

Kane interviews podiatrist Dr. Tom Biernacki, who claims most foot procedures and amputations he performs stem from diabetes and poor blood flow, not accidents. Biernacki argues toenail fungus persists because fungus lives in thick, dead foot skin that blood vessels cannot reach, so creams and pills alone fail. His three steps are fixing diet and blood sugar, exfoliating and moisturizing thick skin with soaks and a pumice stone, and removing the dead, detached nail, maintained for four to six weeks. He also describes warning signs he associates with diabetes, recommends checking A1C or using a glucose monitor, and names vitamin D, magnesium, and protein as his top supplements.

Key takeaways

• Biernacki claims most amputations he performs are due to diabetes or blood-flow problems, not injuries
• He argues toenail fungus survives in thick dead skin without blood supply, so exfoliation and moisturizing are essential alongside diet change
• He describes shiny, thin, hairless skin on feet, reduced cold or vibration sensation, and slow capillary refill as possible diabetes signs
• Biernacki ranks strength training, cardio, sleep, diet, and supplements — in that order — for his own health
• He recommends vitamin D, magnesium, and adequate protein as his top three supplements
