Plant-based nutrition is a pivotal consideration for overall wellness and improving metabolic health. While the idea of increasing carbohydrate intake to reduce insulin resistance may seem unconventional, research on adopting a plant-predominant diet has consistently demonstrated significant benefits. This presentation aims to shed light on the often-overlooked relationship between animal protein consumption and the development of diabetes and diabetes complications. By gaining a deeper understanding of the science, healthcare professionals, researchers, and educators can implement evidence-based interventions and strategies for diabetes prevention, management, and even reversal of insulin resistance.
