Let’s talk about pre diabetes & type 2 diabetes
1 in 3 people has pre-diabetes (and most don’t know it).
1 in 10 Americans lives with diabetes, 90–95% of them type-2.
The leading cause of death among people with diabetes is cardiovascular disease.
The good news… Pre-diabetes is your window of opportunity. Both pre-diabetes and type-2 diabetes can often be prevented, improved, and even put into remission through unprocessed, plant-based eating and simple lifestyle changes.
How food affects blood sugar
Most people know that carbs break down into sugar, but did you know that too many saturated fats are responsible for the underlying cause of insulin resistance that lead to diabetes?
Simple Carbs (soda, white bread, pastries) → quickly break down into glucose causing a spike blood sugar
Complex Carbs (beans, quinoa, oats) → digest more slowly helping to maintain a steady blood sugar
Saturated Fats (butter, beef, fried foods) → reduce insulin function causing an increase in blood glucose
Whole, plant-based foods—rich in fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats—improve insulin sensitivity and naturally stabilize blood sugar.
Plant Docs Research
In Plant Docs' published study of its Jumpstart Your Health! program, participants experienced a statistically significant average reduction in hemoglobin A1C of 0.2 percentage points after one month of whole-food, plant-based nutrition education.

What clients are saying
“I had always been very fit and involved in athletics my whole life. But after an injury, I became more sedentary, and my blood sugar levels crept up from prediabetic to what, for me, was an alarming diabetes diagnosis. My A1C was 7.8. After four months on a low-fat, whole-foods diet, the approach Plant Docs inspires people to follow, we retested my A1C, and it had dropped to 5.8! I am now just slightly in the pre-diabetic range by a few points and nearly in remission.”
