Love Hallberg and Perlmutter!
Dr. Hallberg: "...we would begin with exactly what you said, "treatment". And I'll actually say what I think pharmaceuticals do is that they manage disease, right? So management of type 2 diabetes with pharmaceutical agents only, really we know what that leads to. That leads to potentially delaying progression, but it certainly doesn't halt progression. So diabetes, when someone gets that diagnosis, specifically here I'm talking about type 2 diabetes, what we see is that they're stuck with this. They're stuck with this disease for the rest of their life. Or at least that's what they're told.
So they get type 2 diabetes and they're going to work really hard on taking their medications as they're supposed to and maybe, just maybe, will slow down the disease. Slow down some of the devastating consequences of the disease such as blindness, limb amputation, cardiovascular diseases, strokes, but that's the best we can hope for.
But I flatly reject that. I think instead what we need to start talking about is actually disease reversal. And if we manage lifestyle factors appropriately, that's exactly what we can do."
Dr. Perlmutter: "I'm going to tell you right now I'm going to love this interview. This is terrific..."
