Can a person be "healed" of Type 2 Diabetic issues? Dr. Sarah Hallberg provides engaging proof that it can, and the option is easier than you might believe.
Dr. Sarah Hallberg is the Medical Supervisor of the Medically Monitored Weight Management Program at IU Wellness Arnett, a program she created. She is board accredited in both obesity medication as well as interior medicine as well as has a Master's Level in Exercise Physiology. She has actually recently created what is just the 2nd non-surgical weight management turning in the country for clinical trainees. Her program has actually continually surpassed national benchmarks for fat burning, and also has been extremely effective in reversing diabetic issues and various other metabolic illness. Dr. Hallberg is also the co-author of www.fitteru.us, a blog about health and wellness and health.

Great info. This is what i tell my patients
If your allergic to peanuts, do you keep eating peanut butter, and then jab an epi pen into your body so you don’t die. Thats pretty much what modern medicine has been doing with diabetes care. I am down 130 pounds, and about to break through the no longer diabetic barrier in my next blood test. This woman is a hero for all she has put herself through for us.
She is brilliant. I was diagnosed with type 2 last year. I’ve been intermittent fasting and have cut carbs almost to nothing, and I juice celery everyday, and apple cider vinegar. I’ve lost 30 lbs and am no longer insulin resistant. Thank You
” There is a lot of money to be made from keeping you sick “. this lady is a SAINT!!!! 100% correct.
Brave of her to tackle the real problems and say honestly that there is a lot of money in keeping people sick. Bravo
The Truth about the diabetic industry. money 💲
A really outstanding TED talk!! Thank you so very much Sarah for telling it like it really is in the food consumption world. I know you did use the “keto” word, but my sister who was type 2 did so well on her keto diet that she was able to get off of medication, and her A1C now runs around 5. Low Carb is DEFINITELY the way to go. I have no pre or diabetic problems. But, after seeing what happened to my older sister, I now utilize almond, coconut, and other nut flours, nuts, chia and flax seeds, cheese, creams, avocados, and lupin flour pastas, in my diet. I have to tell you: I feel so much better when I eat this way!
Same with their COVID strategy. Come to the hospital if you can’t breathe. Don’t worry about early treatment and lifestyle changes.
That is awesome! Congratulations.
@RRRESHI Anyone can undergo ketosis. If you fast for a day, your body naturally will make glucose and use ketones for energy, hence ketosis. See it all the time when a urinalysis shows presence of ketones in a nondiabetic, it’s usually because they’ve been fasting.
Ketoacidosis is progression of ketosis where when distilled down, you get literal blood pH ACIDIFICATION (which comes from a cascade of actions: overproduction of ketones, adrenalin, cortisol & rise or further rising of blood sugar as a result and that starts the vicious cycle all over again. Type 1 diabetics are the ones typically identified as the high risk group for this but type 2 diabetics can get this though they typically don’t have blood pH acidification and experience a condition called hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome.
What a tragic loss; this video started my keto journey. I would not be where I am today, 120 pounds lighter and 5.3 a1c if I had not seen this talk. God speed Dr. Hallberg.
I was deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Hallberg’s passing and want to extend my condolences to her love ones. For those unaware, she suddenly discovered she had stage 4 lung cancer. I have insulin resistance and have been trying to reverse this with low carbs. This sad news will redouble my efforts and if I am successful will be another instant of her unknowingly helping yet another person. Her efforts have been truly astounding and her passing a sad day for all
We will miss you Dr. Sarah. You were one of the pioneers in bringing a new health paradigm to the masses. It takes courage to go against the stream and tell people to do the opposite of the official guide lines in order to get healthy. Thanks to your work, millions are better off. Your legacy will live on.
Very informative. Sad to hear she passed away. I just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and the first thing my doctor said is that were not putting you on medication right away, because we want to try to reverse it with diet and exercise. This is why I love my doctor. Too many people and industries are okay with letting other people suffer as long as it makes them money.
Will always remember this lady. I owe her a debt of gratitude for helping get started on keto. Am now without meds after suffering from diabetes and two heart attacks including a heart bypass and have not been this healthy in more than 20 years thanks to her. The greatest tribute I can give to her is to continue what she was doing by sharing what I have learnt from her to as many people as I can even though I am not a doctor. Thank you, Sarah Hallberg and your family. Thank you from a grateful man and his family.
I’m very impressed by her ethical standards to abide in her swearing to the Hippocrates Oath. Most physicians go into that field of work for financial purposes, very few do it to actually try and help the patient get healthier or cure the patient. Her lack of greed & honesty probably has her resting in peace up above where good people go to rest. I hope the work and words she left behind help educate & succeed in bringing wellness to hundreds of diabetic suffers. Blessings & may the Grace of God heal us all! 🙏🏻
Best comment, I’m saving this to quote and share ✨✨✨
Even in her passing she continues to touch and improve our lives. I have hope because of her. The world definitely needs more doctors like her. May God provide her family friends and coworkers the strength and peace her loss has brought. I’m hurting and I didn’t even know her. Her legacy will live on.
I did it. You can do it, too.
I gave up bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, juice, sweets, all fast food. Cold turkey. And I walked 20 minutes every day. Within 2 weeks I no longer craved any of those foods and in 2 months I was off insulin. Another 3 weeks and I was off metformin, too. That was 11 years ago. My A1C was 11.8 when diagnosed. It has been in the 5’s every test in past 11 years. I refuse to be diabetic. I refuse to live on a merry-go-round of drugs that treat one symptom and cause another. That’s not living.
@Stassie Levyn what’s the use of your comment if you don’t explain.
@Marcus Ryder Not true. Ever been to India?
OMG, I just found out about Dr Sarah’s passing.
This was the video that started my investigation into keto.
Now, 40kg lighter (and still losing), my GP is stunned at the improvement in my diabetes.
Thank you Dr Sarah.
@Richard JacksonNeil Barnard while a fine doctor is not cutting edge. Alkaline Keto is more cutting edge taking the best of both plant and paleo. There are way more important factors. Diet while important is not the only Lifestyle factor for healing Type 2 Diabetes or other diseases. Some animal based and some plant based people do well and some do not. Food is best nutrient dense, diverse, quality, local, non-GMO, low, organic or no spray and very fresh… eaten in low to moderate amounts, eaten outdoors with prayer and thanksgiving all critical and overlooked. Also if folks understand their ancestry and genetics and they practice to lower ALL their toxicities and shore up ALL of their deficiencies these are stronger factors. So many factors…Light is more about health than food and psychological and spiritual factors are weighty as well. I did not even cover serious SO SCAT or drug toxins. From movement to purpose so very many more factors.
@Bread Sandwich Yeah, but your vegan diet was probably pasta, jelly sandwiches, Fruit Loops, pancakes with syrup, Ben & Jerry’s non-dairy, Oreos, potato chips, etc., and not non-processed whole foods. At the end of the day, though, calories in/calories out. Sure, eating pasta causes an insulin spike and will cause hunger, but guess what? You have to go hungry if you want to lose weight because losing weight requires you to eat fewer calories than your body requires to maintain its weight.
@evzv no, it wasn’t, it was a very “healthy” whole foods vegan diet
@Bread Sandwich Feel free to elaborate. I have many family members that are on “very healthy” diets except for when I’m around. If you’re overweight and didn’t lose weight in 6 months of a vegan diet, then you didn’t do it right. Anyway, good luck and health to you.
Hey there… really interested in hearing about your experience with cholesterol and the increased fats in keto if your willing to share
try bitter gourd juice
@karamelapple p
@Cristin Mattos The USA isn’t even in the top ten of the WHO list of obese countries. The number one obese country is Nauru with over 60% of it’s population being obese and USA is number 12 at 36% and our obesity rate is on and has been for a while a steady decline.
@Stefan Fyhn not true ive not eaten much since having my gallbladder out and have dropped 40 pounds in 4-5 months
@Micheal Persicko surgery is not the topic here. Let me guess; you already consume higher protein because your intestinal tract thrives better, and the satiety of the proteins is keeping your intake low.
Let’s keep the talk to primarily non operated people 😉
@merrick dubois I think this is an exaggeration.
What happened to Dr hallberg
MIne put me on it right away and wouldn’t respond when I called about the many side effects. Its all about greed. I’ve lost 35 pounds since December.
Last year I was diagnosed with type 2 aged 57. I changed my life to low carbs, less than 30g a day. This week , 6 months later . Blood sugar 38, lost 2 stone, lower BP. Took up running and feel awesome . Thank you
@Malini Naganathan She passed away
Congrats! Stick to it 👍
I kept getting abscesses and was diagnosed with HS, this condition went on for 30 years until I begged my dr to check me for diabetes….when he finally looked into my history, this was before patient history was available online like it is now…I was misdiagnosed with many conditions…anyway I had diabetes for about 10 years and no one told me…getting a dr to listen to you is the ,most important thing…great video!
I was pre-diabetic and hypertensive. At 5’6″ 195 pounds. With a low carb modification I am no longer either of these and lost 35 pounds and feel great. The weight melted off and my blood pressure dropped like a rock to normal levels. My doctor had told me I was going to be on medication if I did not make a change and the side effects would have been miserable so I was highly motivated. This is now a life style for me. I will never go back to high carb foods as they are absolutely addictive. With any carbs over 20 it immediately triggers cravings. Break the chain and you set yourself free…
@Denisse Mitchell antioxidants are in low carb vegetables, which is allowed in the Keto diet. What are you talking about?
Exactly. I overcame type 2 because I ignored my doctor’s advice, which was to go onto medication, and instead increased my exercise and removed all sugar from my diet. Within just 9 months I was cured. But before anyone thinks, that’s easy. It wasn’t. I quit my office job and became a labourer. That involved 45 to 60 hours of physical exercise a week. If you think going to the gym 4 hours a day will be enough, it probably won’t. After 3 years of labouring I have left construction and moved onto a different career. It is possible.
Very sad and shocking to discover she had already passed just after first viewing this video today.
Suddenly discovered she had Stage 4? Was she a smoker?
If not, that’s some scary stuff. She certainly was well aware of her diet. Hard to believe she never noticed any symptoms. Don’t let me know what those are, I’ll have them immediately…..
I’m so sad to hear Dr. Hallberg has passed away. Her body is gone, but her spirit and energy obviously live on. She just changed my life completely. Thank you so much, Dr. Hallberg. The Lord called her home because her work was done and earth shaking. I will never forget this video.
@Rather B Fishing if only we know
Prayers for her family and friends. Sad to loose such a great Doctor. She have me hope and so many more people. This is my first time listening to her.
That sounds a lot like what I wend true. I also kept gaining wait while i already cut half of my intake. I seen every specialist they had in the hospital. I think there is no machine or test I did not wend true. One of the specialist said well lets take a part of your stomage away because if you can.t control it a smaller stomage can. Like they completly ignored the signals I gave. than one day i feld so bad I wend to the docters office and demanded ablood test for Diabetes and they where in shock of the result. it was just before the weekend and i had to start taking tablets the same day. just 4 days later the world was a lot better. now almost a year later i can’t even imagine that i was so sick all the time for over 12 years. I am thankfull for the help i got from the Doctors, but imagine what they could do if they only tried to really listnen to the patient.
What do you eat for breakfast
@justin I almost always feel hungry but I also feel energetic . I eat chicken and steamed broccoli with lots of mayo (organic or homemade ) so yummy , macadamia nuts , artichokes w/ mayo , brussel sprouts , asparagus and filet mignon ( grassfed ) mushrooms ,cucumbers ,celery , avocados, just lots of veggies and lots of healthy fats !!! I make keto brownies and peanut butter cookies that are awesome .
@snoepnr1 alot of drs gaslight us without realizing it. over 50 years, ive never been wrong about what condition I thought I have, 22 separate disabilities now and I keep getting turned down for disability ….its a good thing when we find a dr that listens, they are a rare bread!
@Anna Morgan could be asian style noodles that are like flat, long sticks?
Very good information. But, Im sorry to disagree (about what doctors say), but doctors as well as nutritionists and dieticians DO NOT recommend that their insulin resistant patients eat lots of carbs. Quite the opposite. All I’ve ever heard is to stay away from high carbs diets, to lower one’s carb intake and to focus on greens and vegetables that are not legumes.
Thank you. Excellent presentation.
and one of the hardest, they don’t think we know what we are talking about, they know better because they have been trained, but they don’t listen
@Micheal Persicko A fad? It’s dropped my HbA1C by 50% and I have also lost 50lbs in weight. I have been on a keto diet for 2 1/2 years and my Liver function, kidney function and all other blood markers have improved. For example, my serum AAT has gone from 62 to 17, eGFR went form 67 to 67 to 78.
For me, IT WORKS!
@snoepnr1 I don’t understand, glucose is a part of a basic blood panel but it was never checked?
@Ann Porter She had the gene mutation that made lung cancer almost inevitable.
Actually, sick people are very expensive for healthcare systems. And also pharma companies develop a lot of preventive/ early disease drugs – so it is generally not true that sick people are more remunerative.
Omg..I’m so bummed. I wanted to share a great breakthrough with Dr. Hallberg to find she passed. This was a wonderful talk. How sad to loose someone so brilliant and strong. Please continue to search for your own proof, regarding the power of our own body.
Keep up the great work
@Pat I was living in the Middle East for ten years of this time, and my ex husband was notified but never communicated to me…my A1C as always been good, but my blood sugar bounces from extremely high to extremely low even now. The testing over seas is quite different, since I wasnt testing every day there was no way to know until the symptoms where so extreme…even now several times a day my blood sugar tests in normal range, but maybe an hour later it will be high or even very low. And I have am on three diabetic medications including insulin when its high and been diagnosed now 3 years, when looking back on hospital records there were many times where my numbers where out of control but it was a failure on the dr and hospital that just ignored it because I didnt have insurance.
@A. Linn but we eat a ridiculous about of carbs and sugar and just eat too much food period in America.
One of the reason America pushed cheap carbs, grains was to prevent starvation – something most of us know nothing about. Would you want to starve or would you want bread – rice or pasta.
@regina holland let’s see how that works for you In the long run. We DO need every macronutrient, fruits are full of carbs so are veggies. So I assume
You don’t eat them either?? Anyway when you find yourself in a bad place for not eating properly you can buzz me and I can help you. I had a 10 year long ED, and I didn’t think I needed carbs either. Things change.
Just watched this. Then saw a comment. Thankyou for sharing what happened. Hard to take in. I am going to join you in redoubling my efforts to reverse resistance. Gosh this is so very very sad.
@Andy I have been eating like this for seventeen years!!! So I am good. Occasionally I will have a small sweet potato or a little fruit as a treat. I have autoimmune issues and this works beautifully for me.
@CaneFu
Hello Canefu I just watched Dr. SARAH’S TED TALK and I liked it so much I shared it with the Mrs. While we had breakfast. It hot us both going and I was trying to find some info on diet ideas based on her assertions of our current eating habits. This is were I just found out she has passed away. I was really bummed to say the least. She was definitely one of those Dr.s that you always hope to get when your looking for a Dr.
Anyhow I digress, I noticed you said you were going to go on a low carb approach to your battle with type2
I am looking for any info I can find on meals that would facilitate a low or no carb diet. I am 63 and I was just told 2 days ago that I have the beginnings of type2 my Dr. Suggested I go on mediforman im not sure how its spelt.
I would prefer obviously to avoid the medications altogether and drop the carbs and drop the excess weight thus dropping the type2.
If there is any help you could give by steering me in the right direction towards the meal ideas I need I would be forever grateful.
Thank you in advance.
Darren.
@Kodiak WoodWorks Well, I’m still experimenting myself. I have tried the ultra low carb diet but it causes other health issues for me so I am hovering around 115 carbs per day right now with plenty of fiber and I feel good eating that way. However, I don’t know yet if this is enough to reduce my A1C until I get tested again at the end of July. I did start working out more regularly and also added walking 2 miles every other night to my regimen. I have a friend who comes from a family of diabetics yet she has a very low A1C of 4.2; the only difference between her and her siblings with diabetes is that she is a dedicated walker, actually walking to and from work everyday while her siblings were not physically active. My research has shown me is that diet wouldn’t be such a crucial issue if people got a whole lot more exercise. And needless to say, dropping body weight plays a very big part in beating diabetes. Certainly limit carbs to a degree but proper exercise can also have a positive effect on normalizing blood sugar.
Something else that I just started experimenting with is Testosterone Replacement Therapy. At 66 years old I had low testosterone levels and just started injections a month ago. There have been several long term studies now that have established a definite link between low testosterone and diabetes. Furthermore these same studies have shown diabetes going into remission when patients were given TRT. Testosterone supplementation makes our cells more insulin sensitive so it is a no-brainer that it can help people with diabetes, not to mention that TRT is making me feel a lot more energetic and therefore more motivated to exercise.
To sum it up, my strategy right now to fight diabetes is four-fold:
1) Exercise everyday whether it is weightlifting, bicycling, or walking
2) Follow a moderate carb diet
3) Testosterone Replacement Therapy
4) No diabetes drugs so far as my A1C is just over the marker
Of course if my plan isn’t successful I will have to make some changes but this is what I am committed to doing right now.
Well done Dr Sarah. Thank you for your tireless work. You have changed my life. She has a great obituary. In it she is quoted to have said, ” I went to medical school – because I was pissed.” What passion!
Wonderful lady.
@Brad Kraus And giving up sugar is not so easy,. I walk into the grocery store and all you see is Sugar Sugar Sugar. You need to read labels, learn all the various names that sugar has, I mean its a science project in of itself. But then you get over the hump and now I can cruise right by the sugars and pick the good food.
Wow so sad. What did she die from?
What contributed for her early death. Covid?
I wonder how midwestern farmers will stay in business if people don’t eat carbs.
Second, in the old days what did people eat in the winter time if not carbs? How did people survive?
@Kalsoom Saeed she was jabbed
Thank you for explaining. I was wondering why people were making these comments.
