Amy McKenzie, Ph.D., Research Scientist says her team is reversing type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 Diabetes affects 30 million Americans and costs $327 billion annually. It has been, until now, considered chronic and progressive.
Heart disease affects 1 in 3 adults and costs nearly $400 billion annually.

We begin the show by learning some stats on how many American's have Type 2 Diabetes in the US today compared to 20 yrs. ago. And learning the difference between Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes
I also get into some real, but sticky points.
How many people with Type 2 want to be "healed"?
Discussing people who "need" medication for a condition and the mentality of relying on meds giving a false belief of being healthy now that symptoms are managed.
Virta Health claims to reverse Type 2 Diabetes. Is this simply through lifestyle change?
Some more questions I ask Dr. McKenzie:
How is Virta treatment different than others?
What is the success rate?
What emotional assistance do you give
Part of the Virta Treatment involves a ketogenic diet.
Is Intermittent fasting considered?
We also discuss their new published May 2018 peer-reviewed research in Cardiovascular Diabetology on the cardiovascular benefits of the Virta Treatment.
Virta Health claims to be the first company with a clinically-proven treatment to safely and sustainably reverse Type 2 Diabetes and other chronic metabolic diseases without the use of medications or surgery.
