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.

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.
