Mastering Diabetes with Cyrus Khambatta and Robby Barbaro

In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk with Dr. Cyrus Khambatta and Robby Barbaro, also known as the two guys from Mastering Diabetes. We have a great conversation about living with type 1 diabetes, and all things diabetes really. Wondering what the term insulin resistance means, or what about A1c? Don’t worry, we cover that, as well as signs you may be diabetic, what to expect while transitioning to a plant-based diet and what are the diabetic green light foods…could fruit possibly be included?

Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, and Robby Barbaro, MPH are the co-founders of Mastering Diabetes, a coaching program that teaches people how to reverse insulin resistance via low-fat, plant-based, whole-food nutrition. Cyrus has been living with type 1 diabetes since 2002, and has an undergraduate degree from Stanford University and a PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry from UC Berkeley. Robby was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2000 and has been living a plant-based lifestyle since 2006. He worked at Forks Over Knives for 6 years and earned a Master’s in Public Health in 2019. Together they have written the book Mastering Diabetes: The Revolutionary Method to Reverse Insulin Resistance Permanently in Type 1, Type 1.5, Type 2, Prediabetes, and Gestational Diabetes that is now available.
