Summary
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that can often be put into remission. So why do so many people still struggle to get better? In this discussion, Dr. Bret Scher explores how the environments we create, from our food system to our healthcare system, shape metabolic health in ways that are often overlooked. Using a thought experiment as a starting point, he examines why remission is possible for many people with type 2 diabetes, why that shouldn't be confused with 100% personal responsibility, and what needs to change if we want to improve outcomes at scale. He covers: Why type 2 diabetes remission is possible for many people How ketogenic nutrition and other metabolic therapies can improve insulin resistance Why type 1 and type 2 diabetes require fundamentally different approaches How modern food environments contribute to metabolic dysfunction The limitations of decades of conventional nutrition advice Why clinician education and public policy matter for metabolic health How shifting the conversation from blame to biology can improve patient care Growing evidence continues to show that metabolic health can be improved through nutrition and lifestyle interventions when people have the right support. Building healthcare systems and food environments that reflect that science could help more people achieve better long-term health. 👉 Want to stay up to date with the latest research on metabolic health and metabolic psychiatry?
