21. Increasing Insulin Sensitivity Through Nutrition and Exercise with Diana Licalzi and Jose Tejero

In this week’s episode, I'm doing something a little outside the box here because I’m joined by the co-founders of Reversing T2D, Diana Licalzi Maldonado and Jose Tejero. Diana and Jose specialize in type two diabetes and pre-diabetes.
