Reversing Type 2 Diabetes | Sarah Aitken - E455

Sarah Aitken is a nurse practitioner, metabolic health practitioner, and the founder of Diabetes Game Changer. Her work is deeply personal: after struggling with obesity, prediabetes, and early type 2 diabetes herself, Sarah discovered the power of nutrition and lifestyle change and transformed her own health, losing nearly 100 pounds along the way. Today, she combines her clinical experience with what she learned through her own journey to help people understand insulin resistance, improve their metabolic health, and take control of type 2 diabetes through sustainable, evidence-based lifestyle changes.
