Welcome to the Mastering Diabetes Audio Experience, where we teach you how to sit in the driver's seat of your diabetes health for the rest of your life.

We'll teach you how to reverse insulin resistance, achieve your ideal body weight, gain

energy, and get your best A1C following more than 85 years of evidence-based research in the

mastering diabetes program.

Our program teaches you how to reverse pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes and

how to simplify your life with type 1 diabetes by maximizing your insulin sensitivity using food as medicine.

We're on a bold mission to reverse insulin resistance in 1 million people.

We're glad to have you joining us.
