Robby Barbaro spent 6 years building the Forks Over Knives brand, and is the cofounder of Mastering Diabetes. He discusses insulin resistance and why you should care (whether or not you’re diagnosed with diabetes). How can you tell if you’re insulin resistant? How can a plant-based diet manage—and even reverse—insulin resistance and diabetes? Robby takes us through why the conventional approach to diabetes is flawed, and what we should be doing instead. Also: what’s wrong with low-carb diets?
Here’s our discussion:
