Type 2 diabetes is self-induced, so is there a way we can reverse it? Dr. Sal says we can.On today's episode of the Health Quest podcast, Dr. Sal is exploring that possibility and discussing the historical context of diabetes, its modern prevalence, and the self-induced nature of the disorder.Type 2 diabetes is largely a modern disease that has seen a staggering increase since the 1980s. He emphasized that it is not solely attributed to genetics or hormones, but is largely influenced by our lifestyle choices, particularly our dietary habits and the impact of excess fat on our body's function.Dr. Sal discusses a holistic approach to reversing type 2 diabetes, focusing on the significance of diet, fasting, and a variety of key supplements and nutritional strategies. From chelation therapy to detoxification, intermittent fasting, and the impact of specific nutrients and amino acids, this episode provides valuable insights into the multifaceted nature of managing type 2 diabetes.Key takeaways:1. Nutrition Matters: Emphasize whole foods, healthy fats, and high-fiber carbohydrates. Avoid processed and junk foods. Opt for grass-fed meats and wild-caught fish. Limit wheat products and reconsider the sugar content in fruit juices.2. Supplement Recommendations: Consider the benefits of antioxidants like vitamin C, D, and A. Chromium picolinate can improve receptor sensitivity. Other supplements such as leucine and GLP-1 peptide can help stimulate insulin production and manage cravings.3. Lifestyle Choices: Integrate intermittent fasting, detoxification, and chelation therapy. Stay hydrated with water or carbonated water and steer clear of sugary drinks or diet sodas.
