- Try Berberine – Berberine has been shown to regulate blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity, making it a powerful natural option for diabetes management.
- Try Magnesium – Adequate magnesium intake helps improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood glucose, reducing insulin resistance.
- Try Fasting – Intermittent fasting can lead to weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity, stabilizing blood sugar levels.
- Low-Carb Diet – Reducing carbs, especially refined carbs, is highly effective in lowering blood sugar and improving insulin function.
- Regular Exercise – Physical activity like strength training and aerobic exercises enhance insulin sensitivity and aid in weight loss, essential for diabetes reversal.
- Weight Loss – Significant weight loss, even in small amounts, can lead to diabetes remission by reducing the strain on insulin production and glucose management. (DiRECT Trial: Lancet 2024)

I’m not trying to be fat-phobic. Believe me, I’ve been overweight too. What I’m saying is the highly processed foods we eat and the many prescription drugs we take are trying to kill us. I know that sounds dramatic, but sometimes a little hyperbole is necessary.
This is a story about how, while researching treatments for COVID-19, I discovered a way to lose weight and cure myself of Type 2 diabetes — by changing my approach to eating.
Intermittent fasting, as it turns out, has a long list of astonishing benefits, including weight loss, reduced inflammation, improved sleep, balanced blood sugar, and immune support. I have spoken extensively about autophagy in our FLCCC weekly webinars, and I highly recommend my colleague Dr. Been’s short videos on the subject as well.
Having been a diabetic for over 25 years, I thought I was destined to be on anti-diabetes medication forever and would eventually develop diabetes-related complications.

Here’s a list of the drugs I used to take daily:
- Metformin
- Jardiance
- Altace
- Amlodipine
- Lipitor
- Zoloft
Here’s my top 10 list of foods you should be eating:
- Fish – especially Alaskan salmon
- All vegetables (including avocados, beans, broccoli, spinach, etc.)
- Chicken breast (free range, no hormones, no antibiotics)
- Nuts – (almonds, brazil nuts, cashews, pistachios)
- Peanut butter, chia seeds
- Greek yogurt + pre-probiotics (not sweetened)
- Meat (grass fed, no hormones) – avoid processed meats
- Blueberries (limit volume)
- Grapefruit (limit volume)
- Coffee (with heavy cream or coconut oil; Stevia - no sugar or artificial sweeteners)
People will tell you Type 2 diabetes is a progressive, incurable disease. In my case, that proved to be a big, fat lie.

Keep your carbohydrates down, reduce your body weight, lower your glucose levels, and you’ll reduce your risk of harm from chronic disease. The sad thing is that many patients receive treatment for diabetes in the form of pharmaceuticals alone.
Many people with type 2 diabetes developed the condition by making many of the wrong lifestyle choices.
