Can Type 2 Diabetes Be Reversed? | Episode 100 – Dr. Mariela Glandt

In Episode 100 of the Life Possible Podcast, Dr. John Barnes sits down with endocrinologist Dr. Mariela Glandt, founder of OwnaHealth, to challenge one of the most entrenched beliefs in modern medicine: Is Type 2 Diabetes really chronic and progressive… or is it reversible?

Dr. Glandt shares her journey from traditional endocrinology training at Columbia, and Harvard to discovering a radically different approach after hearing the late Dr. Sarah Hallberg speak about diabetes reversal through carbohydrate restriction.

In this powerful milestone episode, we discuss:

-What is actually happening in the body when someone develops Type 2 Diabetes
-Why T2D is fundamentally an insulin problem — not just a blood sugar problem
-The truth about pre-diabetes (including alarming statistics in adults and adolescents)
-What insulin resistance really is — and the signs you may be missing
-Why the medical system labels T2D “chronic and progressive”
-Medication escalation vs. lifestyle intervention
-The role of ketogenic and low-carb nutrition in reversing insulin resistance
-The emotional transformation when patients realize they can take control

If you or someone you love has been told that Type 2 Diabetes will only get worse, this episode offers clarity, science, and hope.

Because metabolism can change.

And Life Possible should feel possible.
