Summary

In Episode #74, I sat down with Robby and Cyrus from Mastering Diabetes to chat about diabetes (type 1, 1a, pre-, and type 2) and the role that nutrition plays in insulin resistance. We go through the body of scientific literature and explain what causes insulin resistance and how to actually reverse it. We talked about the difference between low-carb, ketogenic-type diets and high-carb, low-fat diets for insulin resistance, and what truly reversing insulin resistance actually means – specifically the difference between reversing insulin resistance and managing blood glucose control. Strap yourselves in – this is a long one (2.5 hours). But I guarantee that by the end of it you will have learned so much about diabetes and will finally understand the mechanism that causes insulin resistance, how to reverse it, and how to improve health outcomes. This understanding is important not only for people with diabetes but also for anyone looking to better their health, particularly anyone who is overweight (millions of people have undiagnosed prediabetes). Insulin resistance is a spectrum, and eating to promote optimal glucose tolerance means you will be able to enjoy some of the most healthful food groups in the world associated with longevity.

0:00.0	Quick one. My team tells me we actually have very few reviews relative to the weekly audience
0:07.4	numbers. This is no doubt my fault, as I've always felt a little weird about asking you
0:12.2	to do something for me. But clearly, if you don't ask, you don't get. So if you're enjoying
0:17.6	the show, if it's providing you value, please take 30 seconds and leave a review on Apple
0:22.6	or Spotify. In doing so, you'll help the show rank higher, which means we can continue
0:27.5	to attract the brightest and most trustworthy people in science. My team and I have big plans
0:32.6	for the show where we want to be in 24 months and we need your help to make this possible.
0:41.2	Tammy, for seven months, she reduced her A1C from 7.1% to 5.3% and when she was at 7.1, she was
0:47.2	taking 2,000 milligrams of metformin. So that's a medicated A1C, then her 5.3% zero metformin,
0:53.5	an unmedicated A1C non-diabetic. She also had debilitating knee pain. She couldn't go to
0:58.2	the grocery store without being pained. She had fatty liver disease. Her energy was just
1:01.8	off. In seven months, she reduced her 38 pounds. She sees her fasting bug goes to go from
1:05.8	123 to 93. Fatty liver disease is gone. Her fasting insulin was 17.4 when she was following
1:12.2	a crappy diet, which is very high. And then she starts eating more carbohydrate-rich food.
1:16.6	She follows the mass-wing diabetes program exactly as we teach it and she now has a fasting
1:21.0	insulin level of 5.2. Which is not how any more. Sheer stories like Tammy, like Chris,
1:25.6	like John, like Raj. This is why we do this. That's Robbie Barbaro and Cyrus Cambada from
1:31.8	mastering diabetes. And this is episode number 74 of the Proof Podcast.
