Summary
In this episode, I sit down with Cyrus Khambatta to rethink what we've been taught about diabetes, insulin, and carbohydrates. We explore why insulin sensitivity may be more important than carbohydrate restriction, how mitochondria, movement, and whole-food plant nutrition support metabolic health, and what it truly means to experience metabolic freedom. Together, we discuss how understanding the body's design can replace fear with confidence and help us build lasting health. - - - - - About the Guest: Cyrus Khambatta, PhD is the New York Times bestselling co-author of Mastering Diabetes, and has helped more than 10,000 people reverse the underlying cause of insulin resistance. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University in 2003, as well as a PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry from the University of California at Berkeley in 2012. He is an expert in both type 1 and 2 diabetes, has been living with type 1 diabetes since 2002, and has reduced his insulin use by more than 40% using a food-first approach. - - - - - Social Handles: Websites: https://evolution-health.co/ ; https://www.masteringdiabetes.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/masteringdiabetes.org/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MasteringDiabetes - - - - - The Plantrician Project Website: https://plantricianproject.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plantricianproject/ https://www.instagram.com/drscottstollofficial / Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/plantricianproject/ - - - - - PODCAST Thank you for listening.
