The Dr. Hyman Show

Blood Sugar Chaos: How to Take Back Control & Reverse Diabetes | Virta Health


Listen Later

What if instead of managing diabetes with drugs, we focused on reversing it? In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Sami Inkinen, CEO and co-founder of Virta Health, and Dr. Greeshma Shetty, a board-certified endocrinologist, to discuss an approach that’s transforming how we treat metabolic disease. They share groundbreaking research and real-world results that prove type 2 diabetes isn’t a lifelong sentence—it can be reversed with the right nutritional and care model.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

  • Why mainstream medicine still treats type 2 diabetes as a progressive disease—even though science shows it’s reversible.
  • How Virta Health is using a combination of nutritional therapy and continuous remote care to achieve Ozempic-level results, without the drugs.
  • The critical role of personalized dietary interventions in reversing metabolic dysfunction.
  • How a high-touch, tech-driven approach to patient care is leading to long-term success.
  • The real cost of diabetes—not just for individuals, but for the entire healthcare system—and why prevention and reversal should be the priority.

  • If you or someone you love is dealing with type 2 diabetes, this is a must-listen episode.
