A guide behind the patented Nutrition Technology Program
Type 2 diabetes affects millions of Americans
Type 2 diabetes particularly impacts older adults, with nearly 30% of those aged 65 and older diagnosed with the condition. Due to factors such as diet, lifestyle, and cellular aging, the body becomes less efficient at using glucose (energy from carbohydrate foods) due to insulin resistance or inadequate insulin production. Elevated blood glucose levels can lead to serious health complications like heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, blindness, and may necessitate amputations of toes, feet, or legs. Current treatments for type 2 diabetes often involve a variety of prescription drugs that do not address the underlying causes and can sometimes exacerbate the disease. However, research indicates that type 2 diabetes is a reversible condition. Successful reversal requires strategic interventions targeting the three main root causes: insulin resistance, muscle loss associated with metabolic syndrome, and cellular aging.

The 3 causes of type 2 diabetes
Research into the root causes of type 2 diabetes highlights three primary factors:
Cellular aging
Metabolic imbalances
Insulin resistance
These interconnected mechanisms are central to understanding and addressing diabetes. The Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) can address the three root causes of diabetes when used strategically and under medical supervision. FMD promotes cellular rejuvenation by triggering autophagy, reduces metabolic imbalances by targeting visceral fat loss while preserving lean muscle mass, and enhances insulin sensitivity by improving glucose metabolism. This approach helps manage and potentially reverse diabetes' underlying mechanisms.
What is glycemic management?
Glycemic management provides a more comprehensive assessment of diabetes care compared to using A1c levels alone. This metric considers both the reduction in A1c and the decrease in medication use, offering a more accurate measure of diabetes regression.
Participants in the L-Nutra Health Diabetes Regression and Remission Program show a 53% overall improvement in glycemic management, significantly higher than the 8% improvement seen with traditional diabetes care.
How to measure
diabetes reversal?
There are four critical measurements that need to be measured when assessing diabetes reversal that go beyond solely A1c.They include:
Anthropometric data
such as fat loss, reduction in overall BMI, waist circumference, and body fat percentage while preserving muscle mass.
Glycemic management
which factors both a decrease in a person’s HbA1c by more than 0.5%, and/or a reduction in medications.
Insulin sensitivity
which can be measured via fasting insulin and glucose levels or with insulin tolerance testing (ITT).
Medication reduction
which suggests the body’s restored ability to manage insulin on its own, without dependence on medications.

Can type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome be naturally reversed?
Type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome are conditions strongly influenced by diet and lifestyle and can therefore be managed or reversed naturally through similar, targeted interventions. Taking a 360-degree approach, emphasizing dietary modifications and lifestyle changes, holds promise in reversing these conditions. The L-Nutra Health programs incorporate:
Strategic use of the patented Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD)
to promote cellular rejuvenation and metabolic health
Personalized dietetic guidance from certified diabetes dietitians trained in healthspan and longevity, offering tailored nutritional plans for blood sugar control.
Comprehensive lab assessments and close medical oversight to safely reduce medications where necessary.
The difference between the fasting mimicking diet and medications on diabetes reversal
Diabetes medications manage symptoms without reversing the condition, and some can even worsen disease progression, leading to increased medication requirements over time. Unlike medications, the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) rejuvenates cells to naturally enhance insulin response, addressing root causes such as aging and insulin resistance while preserving critical muscle mass for optimal metabolism. This drug-free approach offers a holistic solution to diabetes management by targeting underlying mechanisms without relying on medication-based treatments.
How to reach my goals
No matter where you are in your metabolic or diabetes journey, L-Nutra Health offers clinically backed support tailored to your needs. Our two existing programs differ primarily in duration. Our suggestions are supported by clinical research and data
Metabolic
Program
Ideal for those with imbalanced blood sugar, metabolic labs, or prediabetes
Program duration: Participants will follow the 5-day Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) three times over three consecutive months.
Additional support: Personalized consults with a board-certified Dietitian twice a month
After the initial three months, participants will continue the FMD three times a year to maintain metabolic benefits.
Diabetes Regression and
Remission Program
Ideal for those diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, including those currently on medications
Program duration: Participants will follow the 5-day FMD six times over six consecutive months.
Additional support: Personalized consultations with a board-certified Dietitian twice a month for 12 months, along with comprehensive quarterly laboratory tests to track progress. Medical oversight is provided to review progress and adjust medications as needed.
After the initial 6-month active period, FMD use is reduced to three times a year. Dietitian consultations continue twice a month for the next 6 months, totaling a one-year program length.
