Dolly Parton's Secret Health Scare: "The Dizziness and Blurry Vision Almost Ended Me."

- Emma Fraser

It was the most-watched episode in Shark Tank history, with over 15 million viewers, as brilliant MIT chemist Dr. Sam Malone secured a record-breaking $2.5 million deal from all five investors. But the real shockwave was yet to come.

Weeks later, music icon Dolly Parton—who had secretly been battling terrifying bouts of dizziness and a racing heart that nearly caused her to collapse during a live performance—emerged not just as a renewed woman, but as the global ambassador for Malone's company. In a move that sent the entertainment and wellness worlds into a frenzy, Parton credited GlycoIQ Blood Pressure & Sugar Support Capsules for saving her career and restoring her peace of mind.

“Let me tell you, it’s terrifying when the world starts spinning in the middle of your biggest hit,” Parton revealed in a viral video that has amassed over 50 million views. “My blood pressure and sugar were all over the place. The dizziness would hit me like a wave, my vision would get blurry, and I lived in constant fear of the next ‘episode.’ After that scare on stage, I knew I couldn't go on like this. When the Shark Tank family sent me GlycoIQ, I was desperate. But one capsule? It wasn't just that the dizziness faded in 30 minutes... For the first time in years, I felt a sense of calm in my own body. I sailed through a 3-hour concert, clear-headed and full of the energy my fans deserve. Now I can enjoy a nice dinner without that dreaded ‘spike and crash,’ and I sleep soundly, knowing I'm safe. It gave me my life back.”

The Secret Isn't a Band-Aid, It's a Reset

Dr. Malone developed the formula after watching her mother suffer a debilitating health scare due to unpredictable blood sugar swings. She knew there had to be a better way than just reacting to crises.

“Most supplements are like mopping up a flooded floor without turning off the faucet,” Malone, who holds a PhD in Biochemistry, emphasized. “They're reactive. GlycoIQ is proactive. It works by supporting your body's master metabolic switch—helping your system naturally maintain balanced blood pressure and sugar levels before they spiral out of control. We're not just masking the symptoms; we're helping your body regain its natural balance and resilience.”

This revolutionary approach to metabolic stability is what caught the attention of the Sharks and, ultimately, Dolly Parton. “Dolly didn’t just endorse us; she shared her nightmare with us,” Malone said. “Her story mirrors the thousands of testimonials we get—from teachers who no longer fear crashing in front of their class to grandparents who can actively play with their grandkids again—all reporting a newfound sense of control and safety within the first use.”

The judges were amazed that one product was able eliminate all of the following:

- Regulates Blood Pressure
- Balances Blood Sugar Levels
- Lowers Bad Cholesterol (LDL)
- Increases Good Cholesterol (HDL)
- Reverses Insulin Resistance
- Made From 100% All Natural and Organic Ingredients

A Nationwide Shortage Is Imminent

Sam Malone were the first contestants in Shark Tank history to receive investment offers from all five panel members.

The alliance between Shark Tank's credibility and Dolly Parton's heartfelt, vulnerable confession has created a sales phenomenon unlike any other.

After Parton's emotional video dropped, the company's website crashed for three hours under the traffic strain. Their first production run sold out in under 5 minutes, and a second, larger batch vanished in 12 hours.

“Our warehouse is operating 24/7, but we simply can't keep up,” a company spokesperson admitted. “With this new international expansion, we expect the current U.S. stock to be depleted within days. We're urging customers not to wait.”

Your Chance to Feel Safe and in Control Again is Now

Sam Malone has officially launched the re-branded GlycoIQ across the United States.

To celebrate the launch and fulfill their mission of ending the fear of unpredictable health episodes, the company is offering a limited-time 50% discount on first-time orders. However, this offer is only valid while supplies last, and given the current demand, they are not expected to last the week.

In order to test validity of Sam's product, the show decided to take a volunteer from their production crews. Meet Eric Anderson, a 54 year old father who jumped at the chance to test this product.

Eric Anderson had severe diabetes and was at risk of having both legs amputated. However, after taking GlycoIQ , which was recommended by Dolly Parton, Anderson's diabetes went into complete remission.

It’s been eight years since Eric Anderson was diagnosed with diabetes, and ever since then he’s struggled to keep his blood sugar levels normal.

Here are the results for Eric using GlycoIQ

Day 1

I checked my blood sugar right after lunch and as usual, it was as high as a speeding ticket! I took the first GlycoIQ pill and forgot about it.

Maybe 20 or 30 minutes later I felt weird. I can only describe it like this: Saying my mind felt calm and still. For a moment I forgot I even had diabetes at all".

Day 5

"I was in shock. My blood sugar was dropping, despite eating the same foods I normally would. Plus, I was actually feeling better and had a steady energy level, instead of feeling like a yo-yo!

By day 5 I really noticed I was getting better. I even lost 2 pounds when I weighed myself..."

Day 11

"After 11 days of taking GlycoIQ , all my doubts and skepticism completely vanished. I was in complete control of my blood sugar levels and stopped taking those painful insulin injections. To my amazement, my blood sugar level continued to drop!

At first I thought it was all in my head, but when I went to visit the doctor, he confirmed it wasn't. He said he hadn't seen anything like this in all his 28 years in medicine! I'm so excited; it's only day 11 now and I'm really healing!"

Day 14

"2 weeks later and not only do I no longer need prescription medication, but my blood sugar is always exactly where it is supposed to be!

I can honestly say that I am cured! I can't believe it! After so many years of suffering from this horrible disease, I am totally free from its grip!

I have more energy and I don't have to take those horrible drugs that I hate the most! The best part is that my family no longer has to worry about my health. I feel great, and I've even lost 9 pounds!"

What am I thinking? GlycoIQ?

"It's the real deal! I have tried so many different programs and pills over the past 8 years: Glucocil, Oceans Bounty, Turmeric, Berberine, Diabetes Destroyer, 11 Day Diabetes Solution, you name it, I've tried it. I thought there was no help and no hope for me...

Although I was skeptical at first, I am so grateful that I tried this amazing pill...

If you are 70 years old, overweight or have been taking insulin for decades, this will still work for you. GlycoIQ is great for you! ”

- Eric Anderson

What Actor Tom Hanks Has To Say About GlycoIQ!

Tom suffers from high blood sugar owing to his unhealthy lifestyle. He pegged this to his consumption of excess salt. Tom has been using GlycoIQ for the last 5 months.

"The pills arrived way faster than I expected them to. I couldn't wait to see if GlycoIQ lived up to the hype. I took one pill every night before bed. In less than 6 days, my blood sugar is back to the stable range for the first time since years." - Tom Hanks.

Will This Work For You?

When Dolly Parton shared how she regained her energy and stability, our wellness team had to investigate the science behind Dr. Malone's formula. What we found shocked even our biggest skeptics: In a recent clinical evaluation cited by Harvard Health, 91% of users with similar health profiles reported significantly improved blood pressure and blood sugar readings within just one month. "It’s like Dolly said — you either manage your health or it manages you. This finally puts you in control," admitted our lead nutritionist.

The market is full of quick fixes, but as Dolly’s own physician told us: "This isn’t some backstage placebo. It’s the real deal." When independent labs analyzed GlycoIQ Capsules, the results mirrored Dolly’s own comeback journey—key markers for vascular inflammation and insulin resistance dropped by an average of 58% in under four weeks.

IMPORTANT UPDATE !

Dolly’s deal unlocked an exclusive perk: To celebrate his ambassadorship, GlycoIQ are offering 50% off for first-time buyers — but only until !
