2Description
Biotech entrepreneur and Head of Research for Virta Health, Dr James McCarter (MD, PhD), is today’s guest interview. James shares with us how Virta established the first online type 2 diabetes reversal program providing clinically-proven treatment and support from a remote setting. He also helps to explain how Virta can help patients suffering from other metabolic diseases such as prediabetes and obesity. We then find out some of the things included in their programme such as ongoing personalised support from a fully qualified physician, patient education materials, daily access to a health coach, and biometric health data feedback. We also go into discussing the Virta prescribed diet (low carb/keto), weaning off medications, benefits of nutritional ketosis, and the amazing results their studies have shown.

The idea of reversing diabetes, particularly Type 2 Diabetes, is being explored and has shown promising results through lifestyle changes and specific medication regimens. However, "reversal" doesn’t imply a cure but rather an effective management where the blood glucose levels return to normal ranges without the need for medication. On the https://www.breakthrought1d.org/ website, a wealth of information on these scientific advancements is readily available. Run by JDRF, the organization is at the forefront of T1D research and offers thoughtful insights.
