Is Diabetes Reversible? Dr. Beverly Yates Explains What Most Doctors Miss

What if diabetes isn't a life sentence—but a metabolic wake-up call?

In this powerful episode of the 40s Forward Podcast, Dr. Betsy Greenleaf sits down with Dr. Beverly Yates, a nationally respected expert in metabolic health, to unpack one of the most misunderstood questions in modern medicine:

Is diabetes reversible?

Together, they explore why conventional approaches so often fail—especially in midlife—and what's frequently missed in standard care, particularly for women navigating hormonal shifts, insulin resistance, weight gain, and chronic inflammation.

You'll learn:

• Why blood sugar issues often begin years before diagnosis

• The difference between reversal, remission, and management

• How hormones after 40 affect insulin sensitivity

• Why "eat less, move more" stops working in midlife

• What most doctors miss when treating diabetes and prediabetes

• Practical, science-backed strategies to support metabolic health

This episode is essential listening for anyone over 40 who wants to understand the root causes of diabetes and take a more empowered, whole-body approach to metabolic health.
