Why Live With Type 2 Diabetes

If You Don't Have To

The Diabetes Shift is for type 2 diabetics who want personalized support to live a diabetes-free lifestyle without the use of pharmaceuticals that have no impact and trendy diets that leave you starving and irritable.

Is This You?

If you are here you are quite possibly looking for a way out of type 2 diabetes. 

You may be ready or you may not. 

Everyone is in a different spot when it comes to being ready to turn their health around. Regardless, Type 2 Diabetes is not waiting around for you to decide.

I work with type 2 diabetics who are ready to reverse their condition and change the trajectory of their health.

Does this sound familiar?

  • Have you received a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes?
  • Do you struggle with high or erratic blood sugar levels despite following your treatment plan?
  • Do you experience unrelenting daily fatigue?
  • ​Do you see constant weight gain or an inability to lose weight no matter what foods you eat?
  • ​Do your medications continue to increase?

Has your doctor said...

“I’m sorry, there really is nothing that you can do about your condition. Diabetes is genetic and it has no cure.”

“The only way you can help your diabetes is through weight loss, a good diet, exercise, insulin, and prescribed medicine. This will not cure your diabetes, but will slow the effects of this disease.”

“Diabetes is a lifelong condition.”

As the epidemic of type 2 diabetes rises, most people sit in the dark about their condition. They are not properly educated on their condition. They fail to take action because they accept this as their fate... they have been educated that this is their fate.
The story surrounding type 2 diabetics is sadly pretty much the same. At some point in time you get diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, but at first, it may not be that big of a deal. You go about your life, follow the directions you are given and things seem to be going along just fine. But as time marches on, little by little, you start to notice changes in your health. Your blood sugars continue to creep up, your medications increase, you gain more and more weight and your health starts to slip away.

Do you feel like you've tried everything?

  • You’ve tried the pills, potions, and pharmaceuticals that have no impact on the blood sugar woes.
  • You’ve tried the trendy fad diets that leave you starving and irritable.
  • Social media advice has been a bust and your numbers keep going up.

Above all, you're told...

  • It’s because of your weight
  • It’s because of what you eat
  • It’s in your genes
  • ​It’s because you don’t exercise
  • ​It’s because your pancreas does not work anymore

Are you looking for a way out of type 2 diabetes?

Good news... Type 2 diabetes can be put into remission! But most Type 2 Diabetics are operating on conventional wisdom and the constraints of traditional management methods.

Diabetics are then led down a road of misinformation and a health management system that perpetuates the very condition it tries to get rid of.
The good news is… Type 2 diabetes can be reversed! But most Type 2 Diabetics are operating off of false or out-dated information about their condition.
You’re missing a key piece of the puzzle: the insights to what's really driving the condition.
Done the right way, you can find the causative factors to your diabetic condition and use the proper treatment strategies to restore and support proper body function.
Unfortunately, the traditional treatment of diabetes does not meet the needs of today’s diabetic or helping then restore their health.

Imagine If...

Type 2 Diabetes Was NO LONGER Eating Away At Your Life... On a road where your HEALTH IS RESTORED... With a life where DIABETES and DIABETIC COMPLICATIONS are NO LONGER A REALITY.

Is Your Doctor Doing Everything Possible For Your Condition,

Leaving No Stone Un-Turned?

If you answer “No” to any of the following questions below, in bold, your doctor may unknowingly be a road block to you reclaiming your health and living a life that you deserve.
Don’t get me wrong your doctor is likely not intentionally holding back information, it’s more likely that he or she does not have the information.

1. Does your doctor spend enough time with you to answer all of your questions and concerns? Or does your doctor run late and then rush through your visit? Shoot do you even see a doctor these days?

2. Has your doctor provided you with a written individualized treatment plan with clear goals, objectives, and bench marks that can be measured? Or does your doctor just scribble on a prescription pad each time you have a problem and tell you to check your blood sugar daily?

3. Has your doctor given you specific and individualized dietary guidelines to follow? Or has your doctor given you the same diet pamphlet that all diabetics get?

4. Has your doctor given you a specific exercise program that ensures you are burning fat instead of sugar? Or has your doctor just told you to exercise and lose weight?

5. Has your doctor run every blood test that is important to your health? Or does your doctor just run what the insurance companies and the “standard of care” allow? The tests that lead to more drugs!

6. Has your doctor ever ordered an adrenal stress index for you?

7. Has your doctor ever done a comprehensive digestive stool analysis on you? Or does your doctor tell you that “everything looks fine”? When you know it’s not!

8. Has your doctor ever ordered a COMPLETE thyroid panel for you? Or does your doctor just run one marker (TSH)…if that?

9. If you are male have you ever been evaluated for Andropause? Or does your doctor tell you it is normal to have low sex drive, boobs, and erectile dysfunction at your age?

1O. lf you are female has your doctor ever ordered an expanded female hormone panel? Or does your doctor just prescribe hormones to mask your female problems?

If you answered “No” to any or all of the questions in bold print then there is a good chance that your diabetes is not being managed properly. You deserve better!!

Look, if you can no longer regulate your blood sugar, which is probably the most important thing that your body has to do other than maybe breathing oxygen … if you can no longer regulate your blood sugar, something is wrong. Something is broken…and its not your weight or your genes.
Everyone wants to know what the magic bullet is. What’s the secret? What’s your program? What’s your diet? What’s the magic supplement?
But what you have not looked at is you. You see type 2 diabetes is a systemic metabolic disease capable of slowly destroying organs and body systems. Body function breaks down over a number of years. You didn’t just get diabetes yesterday. And before you or I can answer why you are a diabetic you have to first understand what diabetes is not.
While the unknown direction of your health is the most obvious concern when you continue to see high blood sugars and increasing medications, what you are probably not aware of is continual high blood sugars and increasing medications are an indication of diabetic complications developing in your body.
Many diabetics, maybe even you, lay awake at night wondering how much time they have until the effects of the disease start to take its toll on their body and life (if they haven’t already).
These are the most common health issues that can be linked to elevated blood sugar:


Heart disease, stroke, metabolic syndrome, memory issues, slowed brain activity and Alzheimer’s disease; depression and emotional disorders; chronic and debilitating nerve pain; eye disease, retinopathy, and even blindness; kidney disease and kidney failure, along with amputations of various limbs and extremities.

The Most Important Question Is Why Are YOU A Diabetic?

But before I get to the truth let me take a minute to address a very delicate subject. Sure there are a lot of things to blame your diabetes on this country. YOU can surely lay the blame on a lot of things about how YOUR diabetes has been treated up to this point.
  • Your genetics
  • The food industry
  • Your increasing weight
  • ​The pharmaceutical companies
  • ​Your lack of exercise
  • ​Your body failing you

So What's The Secret?

If you haven’t figured it out already… Here it is.
There is NO ONE DIABETIC SECRET!!!!
The medical machine and the pharmaceutical companies would love you to think that all diabetics should be treated the same. They would love you to think that all you have to do is take their drugs…for the rest of your natural life!!!
Remember a few moments back in this report you read about the importance of understanding why a diabetic is a diabetic? Diagnosing diabetes is actually very easy (Heck an 8 year old can do that!).

The Most Important Question Is... Why Are YOU A Diabetic?

And guess what? When you run ALL of the necessary tests to determine why a person can no longer regulate their blood sugar you find that often each person has a different mechanism for their diabetes.
So if each person has a different mechanism for their diabetes… What then does that dictate about what the treatment plan needs to be?
I know it’s not brain surgery…the treatment plan has to be different. You need a treatment plan that is customized for you as an individual. A treatment plan that addresses the reasons YOU can no longer regulate your blood sugar. Not a treatment plan that BIG PHARMA wants you to have, so the FAT CATS on WALL STREET can continue to line their pockets with cash.

The point is this…You are not a diagnosis! Yet the medical establishment often designs treatment based upon a diagnosis.

Your treatment needs to be based on YOUR INDIVIDUALITY!

There are too many products and quick fixes out there that do not address the root causes to type 2 diabetes. Most of the books, tutorials, diets, supplements do not apply to most type 2 diabetics. Diabetics are left in the same situation on where they started and often get discouraged in finding the right solutions. On top of that the standard medical model continues to beat you down with progressive blood sugar lowering medications that may be perpetuating the disease process.
This is not the case with The Diabetes Shift. All the education pieces, the functional health platform, and custom care system I offer are well designed to find your roadblocks and create a personalized map back to your best health. They are carefully researched, tested and proven, and designed to get lasting results. The focus is to help you break free from the constraints of traditional management methods.

Contrary to popular belief type 2 diabetes can have various root causes and needs to be addressed as such to get lasting results. This is a disease process that affects all body systems and functions, silently and progressively, over a long period of time.
