You were told to lose weight and cut carbs. What if neither one is the treatment for type 2 diabetes?


I was diagnosed with prediabetes at 38, right after my last diet. Today I don't have diabetes, and I'm in a bigger body than I was then.

So I brought every type 2 diabetes myth I've heard in 10 years of coaching to Kristie Messerli, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes care and education specialist who works weight-neutral.


In this episode, you'll learn:

  • What type 2 diabetes actually is, and why it starts years before the diagnosis
  • Why sugar and body size are not the causes you were told they were
  • How weight cycling affects insulin resistance over time
  • Why cutting carbs can backfire, and what to do instead
  • The difference between reversal and remission, and why medication is not a moral failure
