Most doctors claim Type 2 diabetes is a progressive and lifelong sentence.

Yet Professor Roy Taylor's groundbreaking research proves it can be COMPLETELY REVERSED.

His 3 natural solutions that’s helped hundreds of patients:

First, what's actually happening with Type 2 diabetes?

It's NOT primarily a blood sugar issue - it's a FAT problem.

Too much fat gets stored in your liver and pancreas, creating a vicious cycle that wrecks your metabolism.

In Type 2 diabetes, excess fat in the liver:

↳ Makes the liver insulin resistant
↳ Increases glucose output
↳ Raises blood insulin levels
↳ Accelerates fat production

Meanwhile, fat in the pancreas stops insulin-producing cells from working.

Each of us has a "personal fat threshold" - a unique point where fat can no longer be safely stored under the skin.

Exceed this, and fat spills into vital organs.

This also happens in skinny people too. That's why some thin folks get diabetes while some obese people don't.

Your body isn't broken. It's just exceeded its personal storage capacity.

The solution? Get below YOUR threshold.

Roy Taylor's research shows losing just 15kg (33lbs) can reverse diabetes in most people, regardless of how long they've had it.

3 indicators to determine if you've exceeded your personal fat threshold.

1) Weight gain since your 20s
2) Waist-to-height ratio (keep waist circumference under half your height)
3) Rising triglycerides

So here are 3 solutions to implement to lose the weight:

Solution #1: The Mediterranean approach.

Taylor suggests a moderate carb reduction + olive oil + fish + vegetables works too (Mediterranean diet)

Why? It's a diet that's similar to that of our ancestors.

Now on the topic of nutrition...

Moving to the next point:

Solution #2: Intermittent fasting.

Time-restricted eating (16:8) can work well for those who hate counting calories.

Creates natural calorie deficit without feeling like "dieting." Target remains the same: Get that liver fat OUT.

Solution #3: Address sleep and stress.

Taylor notes inadequate sleep creates stress, which is a major cause of weight regain.

Poor sleep raises cortisol, which encourages fat storage in dangerous places. Fix your stress response to maintain remission.

The liver-clearing magic typically happens in just 7 DAYS.

Within a week of starting a lower calorie diet, liver fat begins to normalize and insulin resistance improves.

The pancreas takes longer - about 8 weeks to fully recover.

The most surprising finding from Taylor's work?

At 5 years, the weight loss group had ONE new cancer case. The conventional treatment group had EIGHT.

That's right - an 8:1 ratio difference just from losing weight.

If you had diabetes and want to determine if you’re back at normal levels, look for these metrics:

Normal blood glucose levels (HbA1c <6.5%) without medications.

Triglycerides dropping by about 30%.

Your body will tell you when you've dipped below your personal fat threshold.

The key insight: Fat in wrong places (liver/pancreas) drives Type 2 diabetes, not obesity itself.

Your personal solution:

1. Rapid weight loss (15kg target)
2. Learning new eating habits
3. Maintaining most of that loss

Want to try this yourself?

1. Speak with your doctor
2. Consider a mediterranean diet, intermittent fasting or fixing your sleep.
3. Aim for 15kg weight loss
4. Slowly reintroduce normal foods
5. Monitor your glucose

The bottom line: Type 2 diabetes isn't progressive or irreversible.

By understanding the twin cycle hypothesis and your personal fat threshold, you can take control of your metabolic health.

Your pancreas is just waiting for a chance to recover.
