Reverse Type 2 Diabetes in 30 to 90 Days

What Is Insulin Resistance?	Type I Diabetes		Type II Diabetes
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas. It acts like a key, and each cell has an insulin receptor that acts like a lock. When you eat, your body turns food into glucose (sugar), which needs to get into cells for energy. Insulin “unlocks” the cells so glucose can enter.Insulin resistance occurs when the “locks” are clogged with fat, and insulin cannot do its job. This triggers more insulin production.Constant eating or even tasting sweet things (even zero calories) triggers insulin. Frequent insulin stimulation can impair fat burning and cause insulin resistance.	An irreversible autoimmune condition that stops insulin production.The pancreas does not produce insulin, preventing blood sugars from being transferred and stored in muscle cells.Insulin supplementation is required.Insulin sensitivity and reception can improve with a Protective Diet, reducing the need for supplementary insulin by 40%.While not lifestyle-induced, it is managed through diet, lifestyle, and insulin supplementation.   GOAL: Increase insulin sensitivity to reduce medication dependency.		A lifestyle-induced metabolic disorder triggered by poor dietary choices.The pancreas functions, but insulin receptors become clogged with dietary fat, preventing the removal of sugars from the bloodstream, causing chronically high blood sugar.High blood sugar leads to systemic damage including inflammation, heart disease, diabetes, and neuropathy.The primary risk of Type II diabetes is death from a cardiac event.   GOAL: Increase insulin sensitivity by unclogging insulin receptors.
The Microbiome and Insulin Resistance   A healthy microbiome supports insulin production, reduces inflammation, and regulates blood sugar. Healthy microbes efficiently metabolize plant fiber, producing vitamins, and creating anti-inflammatory compounds like butyrate, which reduce inflammation and trigger GLP-1 to signal satiety after a meal.   A poor microbiome can lead to metabolic dysfunction, neuropathy, and chronic inflammation. While probiotics might seem like a quick fix, they fail because they don’t address the core issue: microbial diversity. The goal is to nourish a broad range of healthy microbes, not just increase one specific type.   A high-fat diet damages microbial diversity by reducing fiber-loving microbes and encouraging the growth of pathogenic microbes. This dysbiosis contributes to insulin resistance, chronic diseases, and even mood disorders.
How a Protective Diet Reverses Type II Diabetes   A Protective Diet is a truly low-fat, fiber-rich, sugar-free, additive-free, whole-food, plant-based way of eating. Because it eliminates added fats, the body metabolizes the fat surrounding the insulin receptors, restoring proper function. Because it is fiber-rich and sugar-free, it feeds beneficial bacteria that help regulate blood sugar and reduce inflammation, while cutting off food sources for harmful microbes. Because it is additive-free it detoxifies the liver, which is important because a healthy liver improves insulin sensitivity, reduces blood sugar spikes, and helps the body burn fat. A Protective Diet also improves blood flow, lowers cholesterol, and reverses: cancer, MS, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, obesity, Type II diabetes, and other inflammatory diseases.
Reversing Diabetes Checklist
✅Eat a Protective Diet CONSISTENTLY (100%) Eliminate ALL animal productsno animal flesh, including fish and shrimpno eggs, cheese or dairy of any kindEliminate ALL dietary fatsno oils (including coconut oil)no nuts or nut butters (not one lick or smear)no avocadosno coconut or coconut milkno tahini pasteno flaxseed, flaxseed meal, or hemp seedsno eating outEliminate ALL sugarno maple syrupno agave nectarno fruit juices (even home-juiced fruit)no dates, raisins, dried or freeze-dried fruitno artificial sweeteners (Sweet n Low, Equal)No food additives -no natural flavor -no citric acid -no “spices” Enjoy ALL Protective Diet Recipes		✅Use a Meal Structure to regulate blood sugar “Pregame” with Better Than KombuchaStart with a salad and vinegar-based dressingUse the recipes as your guideStock your pantry with ingredients for your favorite recipesInvest in the kitchen, not the gym—have fun!   ✅Populate, protect and promote your microbiome Prioritize getting a variety of plant fibersTrying a new recipe each week will do it for youWatch lessons #346–351 for microbiome support   ✅Stop the Snacks—avoid constant insulin spikes Drink UNSWEETENED Protective BeveragesBlue Chai, Flower Water, Tuber Tonic PlusTry intermittent fasting or one meal a day   ✅Track fasted morning blood sugar When it is consistently below 100, contact your doctor to change your medicationGive it 30–90 days for full reversalNo need to track post-meal blood sugar
