Diabetes Remission Roadmap | Reverse Type 2, Lower A1C, Medication-Free Living, Weight Loss

Join the Type 2 Remission Room, our online podcast community: https://tinyurl.com/3a4ta86d You know walking after meals can help your blood sugar. You know you should prioritize protein, build muscle, sleep better, and make healthier food choices. So…why is it still so hard to actually DO those things consistently? Maybe you don't need more information. Maybe you need to change the story you tell yourself about who you are. In this episode of the Diabetes Remission Roadmap, Cory sits down with Dr. Kim Foster , former family physician, bestselling author of Redesigning You , TEDx speaker, and expert in identity-based behavior change. After nearly 20 years in medicine, Dr. Foster noticed something fascinating: she could give the same health advice to two intelligent, motivated patients. One would transform their life. The other would come back months later frustrated that nothing had changed. What was different? We dig into why statements like: "I've always had a sweet tooth." "I'm not an exercise person." "I always quit." "This stuff never works for me." …aren't just descriptions. They can become instructions for how you behave. You'll learn why jumping straight from "I'm unhealthy" to "I'm a health nut" usually doesn't work, how to create a believable bridge identity , and why tiny wins become evidence that you're capable of becoming someone different. We also talk about what happens when the new identity gets tested. If you keep telling yourself, "I know what I need to do. I just can't seem to stick with it," this episode is for you. Your past may explain the story you've been telling yourself. It doesn't have to write the next chapter.

“You can expect to have Type 2 diabetes in 10 years.” These were the words our client, Kelly, heard from her doctor while she was working through a gestational diabetes diagnosis many years ago. In this emotional episode, we talk with our client Kelly about breaking out of the A1C dread cycle and rebuilding confidence after years of being told type 2 diabetes is inevitable. Kelly shares the small, targeted changes that finally moved her blood sugar trends, built her strength, and gave her hope without extreme rules even after years of working with doctors and dieticians. Kelly shares her journey, including; • Fear, frustration, and the “threat of medication” shaping the patient-doctor relationship • CGM data driving anxiety without a clear plan to act on trends • Why “eat better and exercise more” fails when it becomes restriction and endless cardio • Stacking small wins: movement around meals, exercise snacks, and targeted strength training • Eating for satiety to reduce snacking and constant glucose challenges • Fasted workouts supported by hydration and electrolytes • Progress markers beyond weight: inches, energy, digestion, sleep, and confidence • Dawn phenomenon improvements and faster post-meal recovery • Handling surgery, illness, migraines, stress, and life events without giving up If you have been caught in the undercurrent of overwhelm that diabetes can bring, we know that Kelly’s story will be a beacon of hope and inspiration.

Join the Type 2 Remission Room, our online podcast community: https://tinyurl.com/3a4ta86d Can statins cause dementia? Are the side effects really “all in your head”? And could you just take niacin instead? Cholesterol advice online tends to fall into two camps: statins are lifesaving drugs everyone should take, or statins are dangerous drugs everyone should avoid. The truth is a lot more nuanced. For this Rapid-Fire Friday, pharmacist and metabolic health expert Austin Dudzinski is back to answer YOUR cholesterol questions. We dig into: - Statins, cholesterol, and dementia: What does the evidence actually show, and why does how you lower cholesterol matter? - The real side effects of statins: Muscle aches, weakness, fatigue, brain fog and more. What's legitimate, what's overblown, and what should you do if you don't feel right? - Niacin vs. statins: Niacin can make several cholesterol markers look better on paper…but does that actually translate into fewer heart attacks and better health? - Better numbers vs. better outcomes: Why improving a lab value doesn't automatically mean you're healthier. Most importantly, Austin explains why cholesterol treatment shouldn't be reduced to “statins good” or “statins bad.” Your individual cardiovascular risk, symptoms, medications, biomarkers and goals all matter. If you've ever been told you need a statin because you have type 2 diabetes, or you've avoided one because of something you've heard online, this conversation will give you a much better framework for talking with your healthcare team. Austin Dudzinksi is a board-certified clinical pharmacy specialist with interest in nutrition and metabolism and owner of the digital healthcare communications company, Digital Conversation.

You may have seen him in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel , Law & Order: SVU , The Blacklist , a multitude of commercials, or on stages across the country. His most famous "role" is a listener of the Diabetes Remission Roadmap (ok, that's just our opinion) who took serious action on his blood sugar. Ben shares how he turned around abrand-new type 2 diabetes diagnosis through simple food changes, daily walking, and steady experimentation. We talk through the real habits that took his A1C from 6.9% to 5.0% in about three months, plus the mindset shifts that keep the progress going with a busy family life. In this episode, we discuss: • Prediabetes and the “no urgency” problem when symptoms stay quiet • Choosing lifestyle changes before starting metformin and why that decision feels empowering • Low-carb eating with minimal processed sugar to improve satiety and curb cravings • Intermittent fasting as a flexible tool rather than an all-or-nothing rule • The importance of simple meals that fit real life • Using small wins and daily glucose trends to stay motivated between A1C checks • Building a better environment through what you listen to and who you learn from • Practical encouragement for anyone overwhelmed by a new diagnosis If you have been struggling with a Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis, and have wondered if improvement is possible, you won't want to miss this episode.

Join the Type 2 Remission Room, our online podcast community: https://tinyurl.com/3a4ta86d Your blood sugar isn’t just reacting to carbs, it’s reacting to stress, recovery, and whether your body has enough muscle to store energy safely. From the outside, taking a week off the gym can look like “falling behind.” From the inside, it can be the smartest move you make all year. We challenge the idea that more workouts always means better blood sugar and explain why a planned break can actually move you forward. We share how we use deload weeks, keep daily movement high, and balance training with travel, family, and real life. Brian also shares an exciting update from his personal life and it means for the podcast! All this, plus: • What a planned deload week looks like and when to use it • The difference between dedicated exercise and everyday movement • Why recreational sports and walking help but do not replace strength training • Motivation versus discipline and how to restart after a break • How to plan travel weeks without spiraling and what it means to “play defense” on vacations If you have been wondering if it’s time to take a break from the gym, we know you’ll appreciate what we share in this episode.

Join the Type 2 Remission Room, our online podcast community: https://tinyurl.com/3a4ta86d A “money-back guarantee” diabetes program sounds like it should give you confidence… until you notice the hidden incentive: if you don’t hit your goals, they keep your money. That question kicked off a candid discussion about why type 2 diabetes behavior change is less about finding new information and more about building implementation, accountability, and real support that leads to remission-level results. In this episode, we discuss: • Why six weeks can be a misleading timeframe for A1C and medication reduction goals • The difference between information and implementation and why most people already know the basics • How “skin in the game” drives focus and follow-through • Why accountability is less about policing and more about hard questions • How low-cost fitness and health programs can rely on low engagement to work as a business model If you have been struggling choosing the approach that gives you the best chance of success, better metabolic health, and a real return on investment compared to years of rising meds and complications, then this episode is for you.

Join the Type 2 Remission Room, our online podcast community: https://tinyurl.com/3a4ta86d “Start GLP-1 meds earlier” sounds like a clean, modern solution to type 2 diabetes. But what happens when that advice quietly assumes diabetes is “naturally progressive” and that needing more medication over time is simply your fate? A loyal listener sent us an article about the benefits of starting a GLP-1 earlier in Type 2 diabetes. In this episode, we give GLP-1 drugs their credit while calling out the “progressive and inevitable” story that can keep people stuck in medication dependence instead of rebuilding muscle, habits, and agency. We also cover: • Why GLP-1 medications are some of the most effective diabetes drugs to date • Why metformin stays first line for many people • How cost, insurance coverage, and prescribing habits shape “standard of care” • What feels wrong about calling type 2 diabetes naturally progressive • Using medication as a bridge while building lifestyle skills • How sponsorships and incentives can bias health information • The question to ask if a medication disappeared tomorrow Check out the article we reference here: https://tcoyd.org/2026/04/starting-a-glp-1/?utm_id=97757_v0_s00_e227_tv0 Ready to take control of your health and stop settling for “managed” diabetes?

Join the Type 2 Remission Room, our online podcast community: https://tinyurl.com/3a4ta86d If you’re living and dying by your A1C, your CGM average, or the number of pills in your cabinet, it’s easy to believe one bad day means you’re failing. This week, Brian goes solo and shares his own health story, because the real barrier for many people with type 2 diabetes isn’t just carbs or willpower. It’s the quiet belief that you have to earn your worth by fixing your body. Brian walks through how he went from being overweight and out of shape in pharmacy school, to “getting healthy,” to becoming so rigid that food started to feel dangerous and control started to seep into his relationships. Along the way, working as a pharmacist inside the hospital system made one thing clear: chronic illness is everywhere, burnout is real, and band-aid approaches rarely touch the root cause. Brian shares his own Steady Strengthening routine right now, and why walking and rucking can be a practical blood sugar tool., But he hopes that the biggest takeaway from this episode is mindset: when your worth depends on a lab result, every setback becomes an identity crisis. When you start from the truth that you’re already worthy and loved, you can face high blood sugar as information, not condemnation and you can build habits without obsession, shame, or fear. Ready to take control of your health and stop settling for “managed” diabetes? Grab your earbuds and listen in.

Join the Type 2 Remission Room, our online podcast community: https://tinyurl.com/3a4ta86d This is for people with type 2 diabetes who want to know how to actually lower their blood sugar naturally and start building a real plan to reduce or get off their medications safely: without starving themselves, without cutting carbs down to zero, and without spending their entire life in a gym. It's free. It's live. And it's an hour that could genuinely change how you see your situation. Link to register: https://medfreehealthya1c.com/register ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Your blood sugar numbers can look “fine” while the real problem of insulin resistance gets worse. In this episode, we challenge the idea that a “good” A1C means you are safe, and explain how type 2 diabetes can build for years before blood sugar finally spikes. Having some fun at the expense of Brian’s favorite baseball team, we show how to read the under the hood signs of insulin resistance and take practical steps toward remission without extreme diets. Listen to learn: • How A1C works and why it can miss early metabolic trouble • The long compensation phase: hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and storage capacity running out • Under the hood lab markers that show you may be in for a blood sugar shock • Non-lab clues your disease is getting worse • Why numbers can jump fast after years of quiet strain • How to measure progress beyond the scale If you have ever been surprised by an unexpected jump in your blood sugar, or want to avoid one, this episode will explain why, and what to do about it.

Join the Type 2 Remission Room, our online podcast community: https://tinyurl.com/3a4ta86d We talk with Chris Cornell (aka Biggest Comeback). At 278 pounds in his 50s, Chris knew something had to change. What followed wasn’t another extreme diet or complicated system. It was a simple, repeatable approach built around satiety, self-accountability, and becoming his own experiment. In this can’t miss episode, Chris and Cory talk about why hunger control beats willpower and how a few simple food rules can drive lasting weight loss and better metabolic health. We connect his comeback story to type 2 diabetes remission by focusing on satiety, muscle, and realistic habits that lower the odds of sliding back into “managed forever.” The conversation covers: • Type 2 diabetes as a muscle and energy storage problem • Chris’s 278-pound wake-up moment and the rebound trap of white-knuckle calorie restriction • Low carb as a tool for satiety rather than a rigid identity • Why calorie counting fails when hunger and cravings stay high • N=1 experimentation and adapting general guidelines to real life • Chris’s satiety rules including protein targets, carb range, and time boundaries • Why fasting can backfire before food quality is fixed • A simple starting step: prioritize satiating protein-rich foods. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too late”… or that health has to be complicated to make your own Biggest Comeback… This one’s for you.

Join the Type 2 Remission Room, our online podcast community: https://tinyurl.com/3a4ta86d We do the real-world math on budget grocery shopping for type 2 diabetes remission and show why “healthy food is expensive” is often a myth when you compare what actually keeps you full. We share 15 affordable staples and contrast them with common junk foods to explain why cost per satiety matters more than cost per pound. The bigger takeaway is a mindset shift: don’t shop for the cheapest calories, shop for the cheapest way to not be hungry. We also get practical about real life, time, and taste, sharing shortcuts like crock pot meals, frozen veggies, bagged salads, and easy flavor upgrades with sauces, spices, and pre-mixed seasoning packets. If you’ve been struggling at the grocery store, this is the episode you can’t miss! Ready to take control of your health and stop settling for “managed” diabetes? Grab your earbuds and listen in.
