" There is a lot of money to be made from keeping you sick ". this lady is a SAINT!!!! 100% correct.

I love it when she said there's a lot of money to be made by keeping you sick...truer words have never been said.

This amazing woman changed my life with this 18 minute video. I reversed type 2 diabetes over 3 years ago and I am in the best shape I have ever been in. I even hiked the 2194 mile Appalachian Trail in 2022. Thank you Dr. Sarah! I’m never going back to obesity and diabetes!

I'm sorry she passed away. This is the first time I come across this video. We need more doctors like her. I was told I was diabetic and was able to reverse my diabetes to below pre-diabetes in 7 months with what she is saying to do. I only eat lean fats (fish, turkey, chicken). It's possible but we are literally addicted to carbs and sugars and people find it hard to give them up. I no longer crave them but I was like a junky in withdrawal when I refused to become a statistic.

She is brilliant. I was diagnosed with type 2 last year. I've been intermittent fasting and have cut carbs almost to nothing, and I juice celery everyday, and apple cider vinegar. I've lost 30 lbs and am no longer insulin resistant. Thank You

On Jan 01 2018 I was diagnosed as Type 2 diabetic. My Blood sugar was in the high 500's. I know a walking time bomb. I watched this video and subsequently implemented the doctor's advice in my lifestyle. Fast forward to February 13, 2018. After recording all my blood sugar readings it showed of average range of 91 to 101. My doctor's first word to me were "it's a miracle" you are no longer a diabetic. I can't go back to eating like before, I just need to keep eating and exercising the way I have been the last six weeks. A VERY BIG THANK YOU , to Doctor SARAH HALBERG!....Folks it can be done.

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last year and I’m so grateful I found this video. I am no longer on insulin and have lost almost 50 pounds. I still have a ways to go for my goal, but this really does make a huge difference. My A1C went from 9.4 (I found out when I was hospitalized for covid) and now it’s 5.6!

Rest in Peace, Doctor. You have touched my life before I knew you had passed.

If your allergic to peanuts, do you keep eating peanut butter, and then jab an epi pen into your body so you don't die. Thats pretty much what modern medicine has been doing with diabetes care. I am down 130 pounds, and about to break through the no longer diabetic barrier in my next blood test. This woman is a hero for all she has put herself through for us.

" Don't be fooled, there is a lot of money to be made from keeping you sick " that sums it all

I was diagnosed with a full-blown diabetes with an A1C level of 9.9 six months ago. The doctor put me through metformin for six months. I religiously followed her guidelines, lost 22 pounds and slashed A1C to 5.0. Not on the medication anymore. I am determined to maintain it not just for months but for years.

I am so sorry to hear that Dr. Hallberg died from lung cancer in 2022. I saw this video in 2017 when I was recovering from two kinds of endometrial cancer. At the same time, I was diagnosed with diabetes. By following her advice, I reversed the diabetes and lost 40 pounds. I no longer am diagnosed with diabetes. Actually my doctor said that she considers me "a diet-controlled diabetic". I've also been free of cancer for six years. It's not just what I eat, it's also getting more exercise. I moved to Mexico and live in a small mountain town without a car. I walk everywhere. I never got into eating baked goods made with non-grain based flours, but I'm going to try that. I usually break my fast with a breakfast of either quinoa or some kind of eggs, usually with lots of veggies. It doesn't spike my blood sugar the way that oatmeal, yogurt and other things I used to have for breakfast did. I do eat avocadoes every day. So wonderful to live in Michoacan where they are plentiful year-round. I also have locally-made butter, which is the best. My advice to anyone with cancer or diabetes is to take it as a wake-up call that you need to take better care of your health.

I can guarantee you that reversing Type II diabetes is possible...because I did it! I am a 58 yr old male who weighted 247 lbs last Feb when I started dieting. I now weigh 182 lbs and I'm on my way to a target of 168 lbs ("normal" for my height). I visited my Dr last week and had lab work done. My labs were normal WITHOUT meds ( I dropped them all, AMA, last April, so my latest labs were a solid baseline.) Let this be a word of encouragement to all of you...Type II diabetes can be defeated!!!

"Stop using Medicine to treat Food." Wow.

Dear! I've just learned that she passed away from lung cancer! I was just happy to see that there is still doctors like her that scream out the truths without fear and It was very exciting. Until... I knew that she's just passed away, it just hurts. RIP Dr. Sarah.

I was diagnosed two years ago. I cut my total calories to around 1900 daily, cut out all desserts and most bread rice and potatoes, added five hours more exercise a week and lost 25 pounds. I am in remission without drugs. The thing that helped me the most was buying a scale and getting on it every day.

I pray to someday meet a doctor who's healthcare goal for me is to treat me well enough to never see me again!

We will miss you Dr. Sarah. You were one of the pioneers in bringing a new health paradigm to the masses. It takes courage to go against the stream and tell people to do the opposite of the official guide lines in order to get healthy. Thanks to your work, millions are better off. Your legacy will live on.

I was diagnosed with T2D 20 months ago. With an A1C of 6.7, I started researching low carb healthy eating and decided this was for me. Within six months I had dropped my A1C down to 5.6 and now 20 months later my A1C is below 5.0 with an eAG of 83 and daily FBS’s in the low to mid 80’s. In addition, I’ve lost 130 pounds and I’m down in my weight to where I was 50 years ago when we got married. I live by the mantra that my T2D is in remission instead of being reversed because I know that if I don’t eat and live this healthy lifestyle I can easily be back where I started 20 months ago and I NEVER intend on going there again - EVER!

I am heart broken to learn Dr Hallberg has passed much much too soon. I hope she knew how much she meant to so many. ❤️

She's a doctor, and she's publicly stating that pharmaceuticals make money -off of our suffering?- Respect. Most doctors _I know_ cleverly doge topics like this.

I did it. You can do it, too. I gave up bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, juice, sweets, all fast food. Cold turkey. And I walked 20 minutes every day. Within 2 weeks I no longer craved any of those foods and in 2 months I was off insulin. Another 3 weeks and I was off metformin, too. That was 11 years ago. My A1C was 11.8 when diagnosed. It has been in the 5's every test in past 11 years. I refuse to be diabetic. I refuse to live on a merry-go-round of drugs that treat one symptom and cause another. That's not living.

I am not diabetic but I am insulin resistant. I have struggled for months following the advice of most medical professionals. I finally decided to try something more dramatic. I became a carnivore. I cut out all sugar and carbs. I would have less than 10g of carbs daily from cheese. I lost 35lbs. I am now transitioning to a keto style of eating where I can have low carb veggies. I know it was drastic, but it was what I needed, and now, as I add foods back into my diet, I can see if I have any sensitivities I may not have known about. I didn't know it, but asparagus makes me feel extremely bloated, and I don't tolerate it. It has been the best thing I ever did for myself. Quiting sugar and refined carbs has given me the freedom to feel good again. To anyone who thinks that they can't give up sugar... it is easier than you think. Eventually, after a few weeks, you won't crave sugar anymore.

I was diagnosed with diabetes 8 months ago at the age of 22, and it completely shocked me. I had no idea what to do until I came across this amazing video that changed my life. Since then, I've made incredible progress. I started at 181 lbs, and now I'm down to 146 lbs. As a lifelong vegan, I realized that my Asian diet, which included a lot of rice, combined with my lack of exercise, contributed to my type 2 diabetes. But things have turned around for me. I now have oatmeal for breakfast and lunch, drink plenty of water every day, and strive to achieve 6000 steps daily. I also incorporate 30 minutes of exercise, burning around 100-200 calories per session. After 8 months of determination and hard work, I am thrilled to say that my A1C has dropped to 5.2. I never thought I would be able to achieve such amazing results without even having to poke my finger for blood tests. I've been following a low-carb diet since my diagnosis, and it has made a world of difference. I want to share my story to inspire others. Yes, type 2 diabetes can be reversed! I did it, and I believe you can do it too. Trust yourself and make the necessary changes. You have the power to take control of your health and live a vibrant life.

I tried her diet for a year. Lost 70 pounds and feel great! Thank you, Dr. Hallberg!

My family physician had me watch this very video in the examination room. My life changed that day, back in May, and now I’m down 55 pounds with beautiful blood work.

OMG, I just learned of her death. What a true tragedy. It was people like her that helped me get off of 3 insulin shots a day and in fact, no diabetes medication at all. I shall forever remember and appreciate her!!! God bless.

RIP Dr. Sara Halberg!!! You are the best!!

Carbs are cheap. Poverty contributes to diabetes as well.

I am a Type 1 diagnosed at age 58. After hospital discharge in 2011, a friend/diabetic educator told me to IGNORE the American Diabetes Association recommendations or I would be fat first and deceased in less than 10-years. Because of his advice and my dedication to monitoring the food I eat, my semi-annual Ac1 is 5.3. I no longer have hunger pains, no longer experience food cravings, my insulin requirements are minimal. Knowledge is power!

1/15/23- So sad to hear that this unique, brave person passed away. She was brave and so passionate for the benefit of others. This is the kind of doctors we need.

I’m saddened to know she passed away. Amazing doctor! I wish all doctors were like her. Unfortunately most doctors treat only the symptoms with medication when they need to be treating the cause which is what you eat. Dr Sarah is spot on in what she taught her patients.

Growing up we were told it was called Sugar diabetes. The sugar industry, big pharma and money hungry doctors removed the "sugar" from the name. She is spot on!

I'm no longer type 2! I cut out carbs and sugars. Trying hard to keep it reversed. :)) 🌺

RIP Sarah 😢 You changed my life. 🙏

*You Did Not Choose To Be Classified As Diabetic, But You Can Choose To Fight Back Against Diabetes* 💪

I appreciate that this Doctor doesn't BS for the first 10 minutes. She cuts to the chase and spits out fact after fact. I wish all speakers were like her. Thank You Sarah!

There's a simple reason that there's a problem with "standard" diabetic advice... Its financially motivated, rather than medically motivated.

Sorry to read that Dr. Hallberg passed away in April 2022😪 RIP Dr.H & your information on reversing Type 2 diabetes will continue to help so many.

Thank you so much Dr. Sarah. This video saved my life. I was pre-diabetes and was able to lose weight and maintain a healthy BMI by doing keto and intermittent fasting. RIP angel doctor.

Very informative. Sad to hear she passed away. I just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and the first thing my doctor said is that were not putting you on medication right away, because we want to try to reverse it with diet and exercise. This is why I love my doctor. Too many people and industries are okay with letting other people suffer as long as it makes them money.

I'm actually really emotional after watching this. This is how all physicians should be. This is what medicine should be about. I hope word spreads about this and reaches all those who need it most.

"Stop using medicine to treat food." Wow! What a line!

I cant believe she passed away I just saw this video and dealing w diabetes how sorry I am to see she is gone. May you rest in peace Dr Hallberg ❤️

Last year I was diagnosed with type 2 aged 57. I changed my life to low carbs, less than 30g a day. This week , 6 months later . Blood sugar 38, lost 2 stone, lower BP. Took up running and feel awesome . Thank you

This changed my life. The first video I watched and I started to take control immediately. Went from 9.8% A1C to 5.3% in 6 months. I still tell anyone diagnosed with diabetes to watch this and start taking control.

I am just reading that Dr. Hallberg passed last year! Dr. Hallbert, I hope you can see this post in heaven! I am so grateful to you and this video. At 56, I was a few years into an on-call 24/7 stressful job that didn't allow me the time to do anything besides work, I was tired, had gained 20 lbs., had pre-diabetes and my overall cholesterol was 223. I was offered statins by my doctor but, told him, no thank you, "I broke it. I need to fix it". I found your video. I ramped up slowly, doing low GPS when I couldn't do no GPS but, always aiming for and returning to the "no". I lost 15 lbs the first year and then a year later 5 more. Not huge numbers but, exactly what I needed. I eat so much healthier now. I have the energy to exercise again, no longer have pre-diabetes and my overall cholesterol is just under 200. Sooo grateful. God bless you in heaven and your family here.

The energy, the positivity..She's such a powerhouse !! RIP Dr.Sarah ...Your passion and efforts to change lives will not go in Vein.

Awesome. My A1C was at 14 in January. I almost had a stoke. Lost my vision. I gave up soda and sugary drinks. Six months later I lost 80 pounds and my A1C was at 5.3. Its a daily battle that I decided to win. 😊

I was deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Hallberg's passing and want to extend my condolences to her love ones. For those unaware, she suddenly discovered she had stage 4 lung cancer. I have insulin resistance and have been trying to reverse this with low carbs. This sad news will redouble my efforts and if I am successful will be another instant of her unknowingly helping yet another person. Her efforts have been truly astounding and her passing a sad day for all

I became a diabetic in 2009 and my doctor wanted to put me on medication which I refused. I dropped to 2 meals a day and had them in a 9 hour window. Breakfast is like 2 slices of bread which I take about 9:00, 3 hours after I start work and the other meal is before 6 PM. Before I started all this my blood sugar spiked to 18, 2 hours after a meal. Today it is about 8-9, 2 hours after a meal. Today I am rid of diabetes and never taken a pill for that. I cut down on carbs, going down to zero sometimes. I dont snack and if I get hungry I take a glass of cold water and/or a raw carrot

I'm deeply saddiened by the news of Dr. Sarah's death. THis one video changed my Type 2 diabetes life!. She answered more of my questions in 18 minutes than any doctor had ever been able to do. My A1C was 11.5 before watching this and in 6 months I got it down to 6.1. Her straight forward approach to this disease was what I needed. I have sent this video link out dozens of times in the last year so her reach lives on. RIP Dr. Sarah Hallberg.

Brave of her to tackle the real problems and say honestly that there is a lot of money in keeping people sick. Bravo

This is what Dr. jason fung says . he should get a nobel prize for his book : "The Diabetes Code: Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally"

I guess this demonstrates to not be afraid to speak the truth out while you can. Because you never know what tomorrow may bring. Thankfully this is recorded and shared. ❤

My father had recently amputated (his right leg) due to type 2 diabetes and I came across this channel hoping to help him with his diet. 🙏

A patient cured is a patient lost.

Once in awhile, you'll come across a doctor who gets it. I was recently told that I'm in the diabetic range with my A1C and this video is helping me understand why following the doctor's advice is not working. So sad to find out after Google-ing her that she passed away. Prayers to her family.

I'm a retired dietitian and one year when I was still working I went to a Diabetes association convention and it was very different from my usual dietetic conventions. The money poured into that five day event was incredible. Drugs are big business and keeping medical professionals on their side is also big business.

she saved my life.......100% reversed my T2DM in 2 yrs.........am KETO + fasting for life RIP

"Nowhere in the ADA guidelines is the goal of reversing Type 2 diabetes..." It's a "sick care system" NOT a "health care system". Let that sink in. All they do is to treat symptoms, not trying to fix the underlying problem. It's really crazy.

During the pandemic, I was consuming 500 grams of sugar per day give or take. Mostly sweet tea and cola. It got to the point where I could hardly function every day because of how sick I felt. I assumed I was having heart issues, possibly kidney issues, or liver damage. Maybe cancer. I wasn't sure what it was so I finally decided to begin a "self diagnosis experiment" where I quit consuming any sugars or carbs of any kind and begin intermittent fasting 16/8. The sugar and especially caffeine withdrawal was horrific. Blinding headaches and nausea. After about three days, mostly in bed, the headaches started to go away and the energy I began to feel came back like I hadn't felt in at least 5 years. Before, it was all I could do to stay awake after eating a meal. That went away almost immediately. I am now literally in a recovery process from how sick I was making myself due to my strong addiction to sugar and caffeine. I feel truly like a drug addict as I was ignoring my health just to get my all day fix of sugar and caffeine. Folks like Dr. Hallberg are modern day heroes for trying to get this info out to the public.

Dr Sarah saved my life. I have a low a1c for several years now.

"The best are the first to leave" -- she's gone unfortunately - R.I.P. Thank You Dr. Hallberg for your legacy.

What a tragic loss; this video started my keto journey. I would not be where I am today, 120 pounds lighter and 5.3 a1c if I had not seen this talk. God speed Dr. Hallberg.

My dad was Type 2, but he eliminated carbs and sugar from his diet and now is Diabetes free. :)

Love this, 25 years ago got diagnosed with type ll diabetes, I was young. I did the diabetes education, followed what they sId to a tea, when I went back to see my doctor she said my blood work was worse and indicated another medication. I was shocked since I was having drastic low blood sugars and told her I was afraid of more medication. She recommended a book called sugar busters which is low glycemic eating. My next A1c indicated I no lo get needed meds and I lost 25 lbs! Listen to this doctor, she is giving not just life saving advice, but it will give you a better quality of life!

This is the woman who taught me how to control my diabetes without medication 5 years ago. Thank you for saving me. So sorry you are gone now.

I am on less meds because I have a doctor who is just like this lady! Thank you. I am reversing diabetes after 17 years

So upset to hear Sarah passed away from stage 4 lung cancer this past week end of March 2022. She has saved so many people from dying themselves with her work. My GP uses her methods and we both have turned our Diabetes around too. My GP acts like your best girl friend. So now we all know the name of an angel in Heaven. I wish her peace in heaven and God bless her three children and husband. She left us all too soon, but God needed her more I guess? RIP Sarah. :--)

What a powerful talk, Madam. I understand that she is no more. RIP doctor. Your legacy lives on.

Rest in peace Dr Hallberg! Thank you for healing and helping so many people.

And here we have...a real doctor! You can tell how passionate she is about her work!♥️

Eighteen minutes and Eleven seconds and my life is going to be forever changed. Thank you Dr. Hallberg! Not only an amazing Dr. but an excellent speaker!!

A fantastic TED Talk. It's the first time I've come across it and I'm shocked to learn it was made over 8 years ago. I do hope this will continue to feature prominently in the YT algorithm as there are so many people who need to know about this. And to discover this wonderfully passionate lady is no longer with us is just sad. Vale Sarah, we will never know how many lives you have both saved and will continue to save.

RIP Dr😢 Hopefully we will find a cure for lung cancer. Wished we found out before your passing 😢

I would love to know why over 4.5 k dislikes ?!! As someone with type 2 diabetes I can undoubtedly attest that this information is 100 percent spot on ! I went low carb about 2 months ago and now have no need for my diabetes medicine, I stopped taking them a month ago ! I feel absolutely great and I am losing weight ! I also exercise 4 days on , 1 day off rotation. Never going back to carbs again !

It takes a lot of courage to mention the Elephant in the Room. Salute to your Braveness. She reminded me of a great soul "Rajiv Dixit".

I really enjoyed this video. Opened my eyes tremendously on the topic of diabetes control. Its is a shame to learn you have passed, may you rest in peace Dr. Hallberg. Thank you for sharing this information with us and I hope the torch on your research is carried forward by physicians everywhere on this topic.

I don't have diabetes but cutting carbs the last 3 years boosted my life ! So if you're not sick don't wait to get sick but even get better !!!

Her work and life has been a blessing for so many of us diabetics. May she rest in peace.

So bummed to hear this amazing physician passed so young. Thank you for your work and for advocating for those with type 2 diabetes

Best explanation I have heard about diabetes and insulin resistance. Very clear and precise. Thank you for explaining everything so well.

I've been doing Keto for about 8 months. I've lost 73 pounds My A1C dropped from over 10 down to 5.7 My Liver and Kidney function lab results are perfect for the first time in decades ALL OF MY BLOOD WORK AND URINE labs are 100% perfect (again for the first time in years). My Cholesterol and Triglycerides went from very high and dangerous to PERFECT: Triglycerides: From 194 to 68 LDL: From 136 to 95 My blood sugars went from the high 300s down to between 90 - 120 And I no longer need to take 7 drugs (yes, literally 7 drugs) per day.

Cut the carbs tremendously... I’m off insulin and meds for a year now

Thank you, Dr. Sarah. May your beautiful soul rest in peace.

This woman changed the game! Thank you Sarah...

I was pre diabetic, had high blood pressure, and was 50 lbs overweight. I started keto in December 2017 then started intermittent fasting in 2019. I am now fit and healthy. I lost the 50 and no more pre diabetes or high blood pressure.

Wonderful Doctor, you’ll be missed. Rest In Peace Dr. Hallberg.

R.I.P Sarah she was very smart!

RIP. You were right on with your information.

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes last October. I first viewed this video researching my diabetes at that time. It just made sense to me. I started looking into low carb diets and after 7 months of a high fat, low carb (HFLC) diet my endocrinologist has told me I no longer need my medications and she is amazed at how well I controlled my blood sugar levels. The side benefit is a loss of nearly 40 pounds. My high blood pressure has also been reduced dramatically. A HFLC diet has worked for me. I'm off medications, I feel great and I'm still shedding pounds. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Sarah.

Dr Sarah was one of those who gave me hope when i got my diagnosis of type2 diabetes. I was diagnosed with an a1c of 10.5. Amidst all doom and gloom, watching this very video of her not just gave me hope to live and survive but also a plan of action to get to a better happier healthier place. This is something my own physician could not do :). Today 5 years down the line, a low carb lifestyle that maam prescribed enables me to live a "normal" , medication free , insulin free life. I have had my a1c in the normal range six months after my diagnosis till now. Maam i want yo say this to you and i hope u can hear me - i never had the chance to meet you. I have a lot of respect and gratitude for you and your contribution to the medical field. I feel deep love for you. I came to know about your sad demise and your long struggle with cancer recently. I am sorry to hear that. I feel a deep sense of loss with your passing. You will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for all that you did for me and your patients. My deepest heartfelt condolence to Dr Sarahs family. I hope the lord gives you the courage and strength to cope. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. May your soul rest in peace Dr Sarah. 🙏🙏🙏

GOD Bless this Dr.s Legacy. She is still saving lives. I was just diagnosed with T2D, and now I feel more confident that I can reverse This and I will! Dr. Sarah , is still teaching! Knowledge is Powerful!

Indeed a dynamic and pioneering doctor with empathy and an endearing way of connecting with the audience by simplifying complex medical process into easy to understand functions. Really sad to know that she passed away. May Allah bless her with peace

She deserves a Nobel Health Prize. Took me awhile to figure out. Now I'm saving my own life.

I was pre-diabetic and hypertensive. At 5'6" 195 pounds. With a low carb modification I am no longer either of these and lost 35 pounds and feel great. The weight melted off and my blood pressure dropped like a rock to normal levels. My doctor had told me I was going to be on medication if I did not make a change and the side effects would have been miserable so I was highly motivated. This is now a life style for me. I will never go back to high carb foods as they are absolutely addictive. With any carbs over 20 it immediately triggers cravings. Break the chain and you set yourself free...

Thank you for sharing your inspiring TEDx talk on reversing Type 2 diabetes. Your approach of ignoring conventional guidelines and focusing on individualized care is both innovative and impactful. Your message is eye-opening and shows that there is hope for those suffering from this condition. Your passion for helping others and improving their health is evident and truly inspiring. Your talk has shed light on a different perspective and has motivated many to take control of their health. Your contribution to this field is invaluable and we appreciate the work you do. Great job!

I was thinking what a nice lady, and then i read in the comments that she died. It's the first time i've seen her and i feel so sorry for her and her family. See you on the other side doc, rip.

Well done Dr Sarah. Thank you for your tireless work. You have changed my life. She has a great obituary. In it she is quoted to have said, " I went to medical school - because I was pissed." What passion!
