Diabetes Remission Roadmap

Diabetes Remission Roadmap

The way we treat diabetes is a joke. Plus, having it sucks and can ruin your life. Brian Bisher and Cory Jenks are two pharmacists who ironically want to do everything in their power to get you OFF of medications for this disease because they'd rather be doing other things than dealing with medication too. Listen along if you want to understand diabetes, the medications used to treat it and how to change your lifestyle better than your doctor so you too know what to do free yourself from diabetes.
