Quitting your job, definitely a runway of time needed or at least I would suggest to figure out how to create income streams.
Indeed, you can reverse (and cure) diabetes on a low carb diet. But speaking from personal experience working with patients, you can also reverse (and cure) diabetes on a high carb diet as well.
You can reverse diabetes with a vegan diet. You can reverse diabetes with a non-vegan diet. You can reverse diabetes without eating (much) fruit. You can reverse diabetes while eating fruits.
In fact... there are hundreds of (natural, drug-free, medicine-free) ways you can cure diabetes.
What I'm more surprised about is that... lots of people today still think diabetes (and cancer, and AIDS, and every other "malady" out there) is incurable and requires lifelong medication.
It's not.
The key question is not so much whether it can be done or not.
They key question is... which of these hundreds of ways is optimal for maximizing life span, health span, and physical youth at the same time you're using them?
And the answer is...
Anyways, I'll just keep quiet now. Because it's actually illegal (literally) to be talking about these things and I don't want to get NotePD shut down. Lol.
Great list and podcast by the way!
