whoopee great to be with you sir I'm so
happy you're here you have the master of
diabetes why do people who yeah well
Cyrus and I have started a coaching
practice called mastering diabetes and
we teach people how exactly to do that
it's very easy and it's very fun how do
people do that it's very simple it's
with a low-fat plant-based whole food
diet that reverses the cause of type 2
diabetes and prediabetes just insulin
resistance and it makes type 1 and type
1.5 diabetes very easy to manage you
might be who might agree with you when
it comes to type-2 diabetes but the fact
that you just said type 1 and type 1
point by it might be nice to them your
thoughts
absolutely so people don't talk enough
about insulin resistance and how the
facts people living with type 1 diabetes
so Cyrus and I are great examples of
showing people what happens when you
reverse insulin resistance in a person
living with type 1 number one you have
incredible insulin sensitivity and you
get to control your blood glucose with
precision and you reverse other diseases
such as heart disease you reduce your
chances of things like cancer
Alzheimer's disease erectile dysfunction
and a long list of other conditions
which are precursors to insulin
resistance and what they say to the the
keto you proponents the lake are people
that maybe actually think the opposite
so the ketogenic world number one I have
a lot of respect for them they are all
trying hard to eat well and that's great
I respect that the thing is what we're
teaching
we just want every understand is the
ketogenic diet makes insulin resistance
worse yes you can get great short-term
results but you're actually worsening
the disease process for those living
with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes
why don't more people know about that
this then that's the obvious question
isn't it
you know I think it's just people like
to hear good news about their bad habits
this dr. John McDougall likes to say if
somebody can tell them hey you get to
eat all the meat you want go ahead and
have more fish have more nuts and seeds
people like to hear that when you say
like that hopefully plant-based what do
you mean what do people worship people
you eat sandwich they boys let's break
that down
low-fat means a maximum of 15 percent of
calories coming from fat or a maximum of
30 grams of total fat per day okay
plant-based means nothing but plants
whole food means not refined so we teach
people to eat whole fruit we teach
people to eat intact whole grains you
teach people to eat potatoes that are
not processed and had it oils added to
them it sees people how to eat beans
that are not laden with oil those are
whole foods it's not hard to do and what
if some of the typical foods that for
example you eat it's super easy to do
because these foods are amazing
these are comfort foods these are the
foods that we crave people want
carbohydrates they seem to learn that
it's okay to eat them and how to eat
them healthfully
so I tons of fruit whole fruit is great
for people who want to reverse insulin
resistance and can people eat say like
rice and beans and that kind of thing
absolutely they can actually eat those
foods in unlimited quantities when
they're eaten in their whole form Wow
say they have to go to bed hungry
because a lot of people talk about the
fact you can reverse diabetes especially
type 2 diabetes like fasting right
that's right you're saying you can eat
is much carbohydrates as you want that's
exactly right and that's a big
difference between or we're teaching in
the ketogenic approach
there's always about limitation there's
a certain amount of limiting you have to
do of foods you like so when they have
vegetables even bell peppers they have
to limit the amount of bell peppers they
have to not exceed their 30 grams of
carbohydrate per day and we're teaching
people know you could eat as much as you
want because the calorie density of
these foods is in a healthy range but
will be I'm slightly confused because
surely if you eat laser carbohydrates
that's gonna be bad for insulin it's
gonna it's gonna make it skyrocket right
so luckily we have years and years of
peer-reviewed scientific research
showing that that is not the case when
you eat carbohydrates in a low fat
environment that is where you actually
see your insulin levels optimized so
there's study after study showing that
when you eat low fat plant-based Whole
Foods you actually reduce the total
insulin secreted for those living with
pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes it
comes down to a normal range and then
that insulin works perfectly when you
say they're a study off the study like
what are you talking about here some of
the doctors that promote this so this
goes back to the early 1900s
we have Percival hemsworth this is
before insulin was even discovered
talking about this then we have Walter
Kempner we have
w Anderson it goes on and on and on
there's a lot of research you can read
it on our website and how did he get
into this is three adversity right yeah
so I've had type 1 diabetes right so
I've been living with type 1 diabetes
for 18 years I've been following a
low-fat plant-based whole food diet for
over 11 years and in that timeframe
living with type 1 my a one sees range
from five point six to six point six
which is sensational
I eat over 700 grams of carbohydrate per
day and take a healthy amount of insulin
that my pancreas would have normally
secreted if I wasn't living with
diabetes do you get over people that say
wow that just can't be true what are you
talking about we'll be yeah people do
say that and I say go check out my what
I ate videos let me show you look at our
testimonials person after person showing
you this is the truth I mean coach you
know people so you mentioned their
studies but actually you've got a lot of
sort of anecdotal pursuit of
transformations of your clients right we
have a very inexpensive coaching program
that thousands of people are joining and
so we get tests we get testimonials on a
daily basis this absolutely works people
come to our retreats and it works in
four days we see them improving their
insulin sensitivity let's talk about
some of the the kind of compelling
striking examples in transformation as
you've seen so we are lucky to see like
I said so many testimonials on a regular
basis but people that come to mind on
our YouTube channel we have Tammy Tammy
completely reversed her type 2 diabetes
Bob Blackburn completely reversed his
type 2 diabetes lost a ton of weight he
looks amazing okay we see the same thing
with people living with type 1 we see
them dramatically decreasing their
insulin usage their total insulin usage
goes down well the carbohydrate intake
goes up you see this over and over and
over again it's very fun to see it's
interesting that you talk about this in
the context of like insulin which is
related to both type 1 and type 2
diabetes right but all sort of medical
experts say they're completely different
diseases and yet each sort of like pair
them together in a way that probably
triggers some people and maybe makes
people think actually you don't really
know waitomo because they're completely
different diseases yeah I do get that a
lot and when a type one gets triggered
that we are talking about reversing
diabetes I hope that they can recognize
that we want the larger
unity to know about this we want people
to know that type-2 diabetes can be
reversed it's okay so type one we want
to just optimize what we're doing we
want to make sure we're living the best
life ever
nothing stops us that we have the best
health and we avoid the complications
associated with type 1 diabetes the
number one killer of all people living
with diabetes is heart disease and
there's one diet that's been proven to
prevent and reverse heart disease I like
that whole food plant-based exactly
right so you're saying like one of the
benefits of promoting this is the fact
that helps other diseases yes and the
local community don't really have that
to show you they can say yeah we can
reverse type 2 diabetes they can't bless
the other diseases right they can show
short term results that are positive but
they do not have any long term societies
showing that they lived on that type of
diet or any long term peer-reviewed
research studies showing that people
have followed that diet and succeeded in
the long term whereas the plant-based
community has an overwhelming amount of
long-term research and the long stuff
societies on the planet it ka the Blue
Zones
followed a plant-based diet mmm-hmm so
I'm just thinking for the people at home
that might be a little bit confused
about the fact that you say ve a diet
replete of carbohydrates in the form of
say whole foods like rice beans legumes
and fruit they're gonna think oh that's
just gonna trigger that incident it's
good it's going to spike right but what
your message is this is all about
keeping fat loads so we have to
establish what is insulin resistance and
what causes it so insulin resistance is
where there is fat stored in tissues
that are not designed to store fat so
that is liver and muscle cells when
those tissues have excess fat that leads
to insulin resistance insulins job is to
take glucose out of the bloodstream into
the cells when there is too much fat
inside the cell that process is
inhibited and insulin can not do its job
so then when you eat a high carbohydrate
meal while your insulin resistant the
glucose gets stuck in the bloodstream as
you get rid of the fat you start eating
a low fat plant-based whole food diet
that excess fat starts to leave those
cells where it doesn't belong your
tissues now become insulin sensitive and
you can eat those foods with no problems
why don't more people know
this this seems pretty straightforward
to me right and you're saying there's
been data showing this decades I wish I
had an easy answer for why people don't
know about this I think that's a lot to
do with marketing and I theory
industries are doing a very good job of
confusing people I think there's a lot
of intentional confusion going on out
there have you got any other anything
else that the audience might want to
know does anybody still maybe confused
about diabetes what would he say to them
I would say try it if you are living
with diabetes and you're looking for a
solution give the low-fat plant-based
whole food diet a shot there's nothing
to lose I guess compliance is an issue
right so I've come across that myself
where people say are the low-fat thing
didn't work but actually the problem is
they just haven't been doing 100% you
have to do it yes 100% right that's the
biggest thing is to objectively know
that you did it so somebody's saying I
did it it's not the same as actually
showing us that they did it or showing
themselves and the best way to do that
is to use nutrition software and to the
food you eat into nutrition software and
see if you actually did follow a low-fat
diet did you truly not exceed 30 grams
or 15% of calories from fat look
yourself in the mirror and see if you
really did that
absolutely and how can people find out
more about this you mentioned the the
summit yes what's that all about it's
for free yes we have a free summit with
