Healthy Human Revolution show

Summary: Cyrus Khambatta was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2002. He received his undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University in 2003, and then he earned a PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry from the University of California at Berkeley in 2012. For the past decade, he has been educating people with type 1 diabetes, type 1.5 diabetes, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes how to reduce and reverse insulin resistance through diet and exercise, following a research-based protocol that has helped hundreds of people around the world achieve exceptional diabetes control. Robby Barbaro is the cofounder of Mastering Diabetes and the founder of Mindful Diabetic. He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 12, and embraced a low-fat, plant-based, whole-food diet 4 years after his diagnosis. To this day, Robby says that adopting this lifestyle has been one of the best decisions of his life, and since that fateful day his hemoglobin A1c value has never exceeded 6.4%. He graduated from the University of Florida in 2011 and worked at Forks Over Knives for 6 years before turning his attention to coaching people with diabetes full time.
