Type 2 diabetes doesn’t just need to be managed; it can be reversed.
For years, endocrinologist Dr. Mariela Glandt followed the conventional playbook: carefully adjusting medications, prescribing the latest drugs, and urging patients to eat whole grains and lean proteins. Yet her patients kept getting sicker, medications piled up, and their diabetes was treated as an inevitable, “progressive” disease.
Then came a turning point.
Through her research, Dr. Glandt came across scientific evidence that showed we could address insulin resistance head-on: by removing excess carbohydrates, patients could actually reverse their condition. No longer bound to insulin injections and endless prescriptions, they could reclaim their health.
Dr. Glandt explains:
- Why the “progressive disease” model of type 2 diabetes is outdated
- How addressing insulin resistance gets to the true root cause
- The transformational impact of a well-formulated ketogenic diet
- Real-world case studies, including patients coming off insulin and normalizing A1C
- Why “food as medicine” must be a national priority for reversing chronic disease at scale
From treating thousands of patients in her clinic to founding OwnaHealth, Dr. Glandt has seen firsthand that diabetes reversal is possible, and that this approach is more affordable, humane, and effective than piling on medications.
Whether you’re living with diabetes, supporting a loved one, or working in healthcare, this video offers a first-hand look at the power of nutrition to transform diabetes care.
