Decoding Disease with Dr. Rue

About Decoding Disease with Dr. Rue

Learn to see your body through a different lens. There comes a point where you begin to sense that what you are experiencing cannot be fully explained by symptoms alone. Patterns repeat, progress feels incomplete, and something deeper is asking to be understood. I’m Dr. Rue, a naturopathic physician focused on chronic illness and integrative oncology, where the work is not about chasing conditions, but about observing the terrain in which they arise. In this space, we explore how the body adapts, how systems communicate, and how environment, metabolism, and lived experience shape what you feel day to day. The body is not random, and it is not working against you. It responds in ways that reflect its internal and external worlds. As you begin to understand those responses, your relationship with your health begins to change. These are quiet, intentional conversations designed to bring clarity without removing complexity. If you have ever felt that your experience does not fit into a simple explanation, you are not alone. This is a place to listen more closely, to reconnect, and to begin seeing what may have been there all along.

   The Boy Who Was Dying Until Insulin Arrived

   In 1922, fourteen-year-old Leonard Thompson was dying of Type 1 diabetes. He was desperately thin, and the treatment keeping him alive was a diet so restrictive it amounted to controlled starvation. Then he received an injection of pancreatic extract. The first attempt did not go well. The extract was impure, the response was disappointing, and Leonard had a reaction at the injection site. A biochemist named James Collip worked to purify it, and the doctors tried again. In this episode, I wan...

   Insulin Isnt Born As Insulin

   You’ve probably heard that your pancreas makes insulin. But what does “makes insulin” actually mean? It starts with something called preproinsulin, a long chain of amino acids that isn’t ready to do the job yet. Inside a beta cell, that chain is sent to the right place, folded into shape, packaged, and cut until what remains is the insulin your body can release. One of the pieces cut away is C-peptide, which gives us a useful clue about how much insulin the pancreas is making on its own. Come...

   The Moment Your Beta Cell Goes Electric | Ep. 118

   Inside a tiny cell is an even tinier gate, opening and closing as conditions change. Something so small, yet what happens at that gate can influence a much larger response. In this episode, we explore why this microscopic gate matters and what it reveals about the extraordinary conversation happening inside our cells.
