Diabetes & Metabolic Reset with RN Yvette Oxford | Ep. 40

It’s time to wake up and unplug from the confusion around diabetes and “managing” symptoms. Dr. Kevin Wall sits down with registered nurse and metabolic health educator Yvette Oxford to expose what’s happening behind the curtain of diabetes care—and to share a simple, common-sense path to reverse course. From insulin resistance to PCOS, ED, fatty liver, and cardiovascular risk, Yvette explains how food choices, fasting windows, muscle training, and targeted nutraceuticals can flip your body back to fat-fuel, quiet cravings, and restore metabolic health. Health is simpler than you think—here’s how to start.

What we cover

• Why type 1 and type 2 are different diseases requiring different approaches
• The business of “eat, inject, repeat” vs. real reversal
• Insulin as a fat-storage signal (and how to turn it down)
• The 4 keystones: prioritize protein, don’t fear healthy fats, time-restrict eating, and therapeutically reduce carbs
• Why many adults do best around ≤20g net carbs/day during a reset
• Metformin, GLP-1s, and what lifestyle can replace or reduce
• Metabolic links to PCOS, ED, fatty liver, hypertension, and “type 3” (Alzheimer’s) risk
• A practical metabolic reset you can begin this week
• Hope stories: A1c down, triglycerides down, HDL up, waistlines down
