Diabetes in Reverse Podcast

Jared Linder MSN RN and David Baker RN

Told diabetes is forever? It’s not. Real talk on reversing Type 2 diabetes — no ADA scripts, no shame, just what works. You’ve been handed a diagnosis and a lifetime prescription. Nobody asked if you wanted to manage this disease forever — they just assumed you would. This podcast exists because that assumption is wrong. Every week, we break down what actually reverses Type 2 diabetes: the nutrition science your doctor doesn’t have time to explain, the stress and sleep factors nobody mentioned at your appointment, and the mindset shifts that make change stick instead of fading by February. No shame, no fear tactics, no pretending this is your fault. You were failed by a system built around managing disease, not reversing it — and you deserve better information than that. If you’re tired of being told this is just something you live with, you’re in the right place. Diabetes is dumb. You don’t have to be.

    GPS: The 3-Letter Code to Reversing Type 2 Diabetes

    Forget everything you've been told about "healthy" carbs — whole wheat bread, oatmeal, and brown rice might be sabotaging your blood sugar just as badly as candy. In this episode, David and Jared break down GPS: Grains, Potatoes, and Sugar — the three categories doing the most damage to blood sugar control, and why food companies bury them under dozens of disguised names on ingredient labels. In this episode: (00:00) What GPS stands for and why it's the first place to start reversing type 2 diabetes (01:22) Why whole wheat bread spikes blood sugar worse than table sugar (02:07) The oatmeal myth — how a "healthy breakfast" staple converts to sugar the moment it hits your mouth (03:48) White rice vs. brown rice: is the difference actually meaningful? (05:05) How potatoes and potato starch hide in foods you'd never suspect — like shredded cheese (06:38) The dozens of aliases for potato starch and sugar on ingredient labels (maltodextrin, dextrose, agave nectar, and more) (10:33) A real CGM story: how hidden high-fructose corn syrup in sausage and hot dogs caused an unexpected blood sugar spike (13:23) Why sugar is the best place to start — and how long withdrawal and taste bud reset actually take (14:55) Jared's own turning point after learning about GPS The takeaway: you don't have to eliminate everything overnight. Pick one — grains, potatoes, or sugar — and start there. Small, consistent shifts add up to real, lasting change. None of this is medical advice — just education to help you make informed decisions about your own health. 👉 Curious where you stand?
