#58 - What If Type 2 Remission Starts With Love?

If you’re living and dying by your A1C, your CGM average, or the number of pills in your cabinet, it’s easy to believe one bad day means you’re failing. This week, Brian goes solo and shares his own health story, because the real barrier for many people with type 2 diabetes isn’t just carbs or willpower. It’s the quiet belief that you have to earn your worth by fixing your body. Brian walks through how he went from being overweight and out of shape in pharmacy school, to “getting healthy,” to becoming so rigid that food started to feel dangerous and control started to seep into his relationships. Along the way, working as a pharmacist inside the hospital system made one thing clear: chronic illness is everywhere, burnout is real, and band-aid approaches rarely touch the root cause. Brian shares his own Steady Strengthening routine right now, and why walking and rucking can be a practical blood sugar tool., But he hopes that the biggest takeaway from this episode is mindset: when your worth depends on a lab result, every setback becomes an identity crisis. When you start from the truth that you’re already worthy and loved, you can face high blood sugar as information, not condemnation and you can build habits without obsession, shame, or fear. Ready to take control of your health and stop settling for “managed” diabetes?  Grab your earbuds and listen in.Brian & Cory Diabetes Remission Partners--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------👉 Want help mapping out your diabetes medication exit strategy?If you’re on meds, “in range,” and still know this isn’t the standard you want — this is the next step.On this free call, we’ll help you:·       Get clear on why your blood sugar is where it is  ·       Understand what’s realistic for reducing or eliminating medications  ·       See whether a medication exit strategy makes sense for youBook your Diabetes Medication Exit Strategy Call here: https://medfreehealthya1c.com/diabetesfreechat--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------🎓 Watch Our Free TrainingThe Diabetes Freedom Masterclass shows you how our clients work toward a healthy A1C with fewer — and sometimes no — medications by addressing insulin resistance at the root.👉 https://medfreehealthya1c.com/--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------📲 Follow Us on InstagramDaily education, encouragement, and straight talk about meds, muscle, and metabolic health:@diabetesremissionpartners--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------📧 Questions or feedback?Email us anytime: brianandcory@diabetesremissionpartners.com--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------⭐ Love the podcast?  Leaving a review helps more people find this message and reminds us why this work matters.👉 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/diabetes-remission-roadmap-reverse-type-2-lower-a1c/id1777467082
