  • This recent book by another pioneering NHS doctor, specialising in obesity management, whose pilot studies with colleagues show that a low-carb, real food diet-and-lifestyle approach appears as effective as bariatric surgery for helping obese patients to lose weight (and seems rather likely to be better for their longer-health than such surgery - although clearly long-term randomised clinical trials would be needed to find that out for certain).
Significantly restricting dietary carbohydrates can have serious adverse health consequences for patients with type 2 diabetes, including ketosis. Always consult a medical professional before modifying diet or medication. This talk only represents the speaker's personal views and understanding of diet and type 2 diabetes. We've flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers.

Can a person be "cured" of Type 2 Diabetes? Dr. Sarah Hallberg provides compelling evidence that it can, and the solution is simpler than you might think.

Dr. Sarah Hallberg is the Medical Director of the Medically Supervised Weight Loss Program at IU Health Arnett, a program she created. She is board certified in both obesity medicine and internal medicine and has a Master’s Degree in Exercise Physiology. She has recently created what is only the second non-surgical weight loss rotation in the country for medical students. Her program has consistently exceeded national benchmarks for weight loss, and has been highly successful in reversing diabetes and other metabolic diseases. Dr. Hallberg is also the co-author of www.fitteru.us, a blog about health and wellness.
