The Diabetes Revolution Podcast

Type 2 Diabetes sucks. Especially when it's a struggle, and it's running (and ruining) your life. Dr. Sarah Townley, The Type 2 Diabetes Coach, created this podcast to inspire and empower people with Type 2 Diabetes to heal their bodies by addressing the root cause. This means working WITH your body instead of fighting with it. It also means cultivating a mindset that solves quitting, self-sabotage, and overeating. Type 2 Diabetes can be controlled and even reversed with lifestyle alone. This podcast answers all the questions you didn't get answered in the doctor's office so that you can stop depending on other people to feel better. You can feel better right now.

This podcast is going to open your eyes and give you the full picture of all the problems that are kept and invited when type 2 diabetes is allowed to persist over time, even when blood sugars are controlled with medications.

Let this podcast be the inspiration that gener...

Reversing Type 2 Diabetes is hard work.  And there's no shortcuts.  

But does it ever get easier?  Is it even a possibility that, one day, it can feel effortless?

Let's talk about what many of us are secretly hoping--that, at some point in the future, we can live a "normal" life again.  

I want to talk about why this process requires so much effort, and how doing this hard work on yourself can become a gi...

In this episode, I present revelatory insights about where insulin resistance starts in the human body in a way that I have never described before.

Losing body fat is part of the healing process of reversing type 2 diabetes, and is a helpful way to gauge progress over time. 

It can also be one of the most stubborn and frustrating parts of the journey of reversing type 2 diabetes.  The mind game of dealing with the scale is it's own challenge.

So many people write to me and ask me this question: "Why can't I lose weight?!"  The frustration...

So many of us are asking, what do I need to do?  In this modern world, we are running around doing, doing, doing with little consideration of who we are being.

Being is everything.  All doing comes from being.  And, thus, all results come from being.

Who are you being that is creating your insulin resistance? 

In this podcast, I reveal how to uncover your way of being and how to choose intentionally who ...

Healthy muscle mass is your greatest asset to living a healthy, long life with plenty of energy and a sharp mind.   For people with diabetes, it is highly strategic to acquire MORE of the thing that burns up blood glucose, even at rest.

Many of us struggle to prioritize our own needs--we do it in both small ways and in big ways.

We let others choose what we're having for dinner, and we avoid using our resources (time and money) to make our health a priority because we think others' needs come first.

Do you take as good care of yourself as you do others?  If not, this podcast episode is for you.

By now, almost every American has heard of Ozempic, Trulicity, or Mounjaro for their ability to help people lose weight. 

For people with type 2 diabetes, these prescription drugs might be offered first line for blood sugar control.

But do you really want to take a medication to help you lose weight and normalize your blood sugars?  Are t...

Nobody wants temporary results, right?  We want durable, lifelong freedom from Type 2 diabetes.

Isn't that the million-dollar question?  Let's answer it in this podcast so you are ready for the phase yo...

"You shouldn't be eating this way. It's dangerous."
"This other way of eating is healthier."
"Your food looks disgusting."

Other peoples' opinions: yes, everyone has them.  But, when they create doubt, fear, shame, or anger in us, they can make it hard for us to do what we need to do to take care of ourselves.
