Hi friends,
Sadly, about one in 10 people in America live with Diabetes. And one in five don't even know they have it. Chances are you or someone you know have been impacted, and as such the more we can educate ourselves the more empowered we will be to prevent, reverse, or manage diabetes and our overall health.
If you love understanding how the human body works and how what we eat impacts our health, you’ll love this episode.
In this episode we bring NYT best-selling author of Mastering Diabetes and nutritional science researcher, Dr. Cyrus Khambatta, on the show. We talk all about the different types of diabetes and how symptoms can be minimized and even reversed through a plant-based diet and lifestyle changes.
We discuss Type 1, Type 1.5, Type 2, pre-diabetes, and gestational diabetes. It's fairly common knowledge that Type 2 diabetes can be prevented and reversed through diet, but we learned a ton about the other forms of diabetes in recording this podcast.
We hope you find this valuable, and encourage you to share it with friends or family who may find it helpful — or potentially even life saving.
Cyrus is truly an expert on the topic, and has drastically improved his experience living with type 1 diabetes by following the advice that he shares on this episode.
Enjoy,
♡ Toni & Michelle
