Managing Type 2 Diabetes | Dr Neal Barnard

In Episode #58, I sat down with one of the pioneers of lifestyle medicine, Dr Neal Barnard, to break down the process by which people become insulin resistant and how we can eat to avoid or even reverse type 2 diabetes. Neal covers his clinical experience with type 2 diabetes, the clinical trials on type 2 diabetes and nutrition he has run and published, how Atkins/ketogenic/low-carb diets can affect type 2 diabetes, and – importantly – the idea of reversing type 2 diabetes   We also cover plenty of other interesting topics, such as cheese and disease, carbohydrates and sugar (thermic effect), intramyocellular lipids, coconut and palm oil, calcium as an important nutrient, and much more!
