On this episode I have Dr. Adam Starr an orthopedic hand surgeon, discussing how to reverse the symptoms of diabetes (both type I and II) with physiologic insulin re-sensitization. This is fascinating technology that needs to be implemented much more in the mainstream. I personally have seen the clinical results with this technology—and it is really extraordinary. I was a skeptic at first though.
