© 2026 Diabetes Remission Roadmap | Reverse Type 2, Lower A1C, Medication-Free Living, Weight Loss
Description
Are you living with type 2 diabetes…
But feel like no one is really listening to you?
Have you been told your A1C is “in range,” yet you still feel frustrated, weaker than you should, and stuck on medications you never planned to take for life?
Do you feel managed instead of helped — rushed through appointments, handed another prescription, and sent on your way?
If so, you’re in the right place.
The Diabetes Remission Roadmap Podcast is for capable, motivated adults with type 2 diabetes who refuse to accept “lifelong management” as their future.
Hosted by two pharmacists who’ve worked inside the healthcare system, this podcast exists to do what most appointments never had time for:
- Treat you like a human, not a diagnosis
- Explain why your blood sugar is high — not just how to medicate it
- Show you how strength, food, and daily habits can change the root problem
Each week, we break down:
- How to lower blood sugar without piling on more meds
- Why “A1C in range” isn’t the same as true health
- How to rebuild strength, confidence, and control
- What your doctor should have explained on day one
No hype. No fad diets. No shame.
Just clear, practical guidance from pharmacists who believe you deserve more than lifelong prescriptions — and who know remission is possible with the right plan.
If you want to feel strong again, make decisions with confidence, and work toward a future with fewer (or no) medications…
This podcast is for you.
Now, grab some earbuds, and let's walk this road to remission together.

We talk a lot about diet, exercise, and blood sugar on this podcast. But one of the most powerful influences on blood sugar and long-term health is something much simpler: relationships. In this special episode, recorded TOGETHER live from Cory’s home in Tucson while Brian visited, we step back from nutrition and talk about the role that connection, friendship, and community play in blood sugar and overall health. From lowering stress to improving habits and resilience, the people around us c...

Most of us have been conditioned to laugh things off, brush things aside, or say “I’ll deal with it later.” But when it comes to type 2 diabetes… This isn’t something to joke about. In this episode, released on April Fool’s Day, we talk about why diabetes deserves real attention. Not fear, not panic, but honest, practical action. We discuss: Why so many people underestimate the impact of diabetes The slow, insidious nature of diabetes that keeps people from taking actionHow to overcome a...
It’s the final Friday of March, which means it’s time for another lightening round of Rapid-Fire Friday, answering YOUR questions about diabetes remission! As a bonus this week, Brian insults Cory’s age by implying his bladder strength is not what it once was. Cory quickly gets things back on the rails, and the two of them tackle these three listener questions: -Does food pairing to control blood sugar spikes work in the long run to put diabetes remission if there is no net decrease in energy...
Just because a food is marketed as healthy doesn’t mean it supports your health, or your blood sugar. In this special episode recorded LIVE TOGETHER at Cory’s home in Tucson with Brian visiting, we break down the health halo effect, a common marketing trick that makes certain foods appear healthier than they actually are. Words like protein, low-fat, keto, or gluten-free can make us feel better about what we’re eating, even when the food itself isn’t doing us any favors. We talk about some of...
You don’t struggle with eating blood sugar friendly foods because you lack discipline. You struggle because your environment is stacked against you. In this episode, we break down five places that quietly sabotage your blood sugar, including one that surprises almost everyone. From hospitals and airports to office break rooms and youth sports events, modern food environments are designed for convenience, not blood sugar health. The wrong choice is easy. The right choice feels inconvenient. We...

Hi listeners! This Rapid-Fire Friday hits four questions you need to know the answer to on your road to remission! Inside this episode, we answer the following questions: I lost 2lbs a week doing 16:8 intermittent fasting, but then the weight loss stopped after three weeks. Why did this happen? My doctor says intermittent fasting is dangerous for Type 2 diabetes. Is my doctor right? Do artificial sweeteners break a fast? Is intermittent fasting even good? I saw an article that says it’s no be...
Diabetes is usually framed as a blood sugar problem. But blood sugar is what we measure, not where the problem starts. In this episode, we explain four reasons diabetes is a muscle problem, not just a blood sugar problem, and why muscle plays a central role in glucose control and insulin resistance. We cover: Why muscle is the primary place glucose is storedHow GLUT4 acts as the “door” that lets sugar into muscle…without insulin!How modern life reduces muscle’s ability to do its jobWhy muscle...
Most people already know what they should eat to improve their blood sugar. That’s not the problem. In this episode, we break down five reasons knowing what to eat doesn’t always translate into doing it, and why that’s not a character flaw. We cover: · How too many choices (the buffet effect) sabotage decisions · Why environment beats willpower · How stress hijacks the brain and drives quick-energy eating · &n...
The Diabetes Remission Roadmap is a weekly podcast hosted by two pharmacists on a mission to empower you on your roadmap to remission from Type 2 diabetes. We'll equip you with the tools you need to master your meals, movement, mindset, and more to lower your blood sugar, ditch your diabetes medications, and flip the script that says Type 2 diabetes means medications for life. If you are tired of growing medication lists, rushed visits to the doctor's office, and feeling like a cog in the med...
Hi listeners! Statins are commonly recommended for people with diabetes, but the reasons why can be confusing. Especially when your doctor only spends a few minutes with you. In this episode, we break down how cholesterol relates to cardiometabolic risk, how statin decisions can be made, and where tools like coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring can help. Our goal is simple: help you understand the conversation so you can have better, more informed discussions with your healthcare team. And t...
Hi listeners! This Rapid-Fire Friday hits three questions you need to know the answer to on your road to remission! Inside this episode, we break down: Does dried fruit actually remove fiber (and why does it matter)? How do I know if what I’m doing is actually working to get off meds or if I’m just managing symptoms and numbers? Is it wrong to want fewer meds even if my doctor says I’m stable? Ready to take control of your health and stop settling for “managed” diabetes? Grab your earbuds and...
Hi listeners! The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans are out, and for the first time in decades, they’re pointing in a direction that actually supports metabolic health. In this episode, we break down what the guidelines finally get right for blood sugar and Type 2 diabetes, where they still fall short, and why guidelines alone don’t change health: implementation does. We cover: · Why “eat real food” is the biggest win in the new guidelines · &n...
Hi listeners! In this episode, you’ll learn not one, not two, but THREE shocking facts about our past. Other than chuckling at our "embarrassing past," you will take away: - Why changing your habits isn’t an admission that you are wrong, but recognition that the situation changed. -The mindset shift that takes your from struggling to thriving -How shame and attachment to identity keep you stuck All this and more! We might have had just a little too much fun on this episode…if there was such a...
Hi listeners! This week we tackle the dreaded “F” word keeping your blood sugar high. And yes, it is EXACTLY what you think it is: Friction (that’s what you were thinking, right?) We dive into the importance of putting more friction on the habits that keep your blood sugar high, while removing the friction on the habits that will help bring your blood sugar down…for good! From combining TV watching with exercise, hiding away those sweet and salty snacks, and getting your gym clothes out the n...
Hi listeners! In today’s episode, we’re zooming out from blood sugar numbers and talking about two factors that quietly determine whether health changes actually stick. Most people are taught to manage diabetes by focusing harder on food rules, medications, and numbers. But without managing energy and expectations, even the best plan eventually falls apart. In this episode, we break down: Why going “all in” often leads to burnout instead of progressHow misaligned expectations drain energy and...
In this episode (and dare we say masterclass) of The Diabetes Remission Roadmap, Cory gets to interview our FIRST PODCAST GUEST in the show’s history (while Brian shovels snow in Ohio). Dr. Ben Bocchicchio is an exercise physiologist and fitness pioneer and he helps unpack why muscle is one of the most powerful tools for improving blood sugar and insulin resistance. Dr. Ben explains how muscle acts as a metabolic “sink” for glucose, allowing blood sugar to be absorbed and stored even without ...
Hi listeners! In today’s episode, we’re talking about something most parents have never been told — how early our relationship with sugar is actually formed. Long before children choose candy on their own, their brains are already being wired for sweetness. In fact, research shows taste preferences can begin in utero, and the modern food environment only accelerates that conditioning once kids are born. We’ll unpack: How early sugar exposure shapes taste preferences and cravingsWhy we’r...
