Hockings, D.C., known as “The Diabetes Doc,” is a chiropractor and the founder and CEO of Diabetes Reversal Group, a telehealth-based program focused on reversing type 2 diabetes through lifestyle intervention.

In this conversation, we break down what “diabetes reversal” actually means and what it does and does not involve.

We talk through the role of diet and exercise, where supplements may fit into the process, and why accountability and structure matter more than motivation alone.
