Imagine being in the absolute prime of your life - 21 years old, going to school at Stanford to study Mechanical Engineering, playing sports for hours on end…and then, ABRUPTLY, it comes to a screeching halt when you are diagnosed with not one, not two, but three autoimmune diseases within a matter of months.
Today’s guest, Cyrus Khambatta, went from “soccer stud” to “chronic disease patient” in the blink of an eye when he was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, alopecia, and Type 1 diabetes in 2002.
Determined to understand everything he could about these diagnoses, especially his diabetes, he went back to school to learn the science, earning a Ph.D. in nutritional biochemistry from UC Berkeley. In 2020, he and his business partner, Robby Barbaro, co-authored the book, Mastering Diabetes: The Revolutionary Method to Reverse Insulin Resistance Permanently in Type 1, Type 1.5, Type 2, Prediabetes, and Gestational Diabetes.
An educated person is an empowered person and that’s our goal for today - to arm you with as much knowledge, research, and hope that you can master your diabetes with a whole foods plant-based diet that, yes, includes plenty of carbohydrates and rich diversity of luscious fruit.
He may have a Ph.D., but today he’s here to help you master your diabetes.
I am 54. An athlete, former competitive athlete, healthy eater, non meat eater. Diagnosed today as pre-diabetic. Have been feeling so many symptoms that Dr. Khambatta had but clearly less severe. No doctor has ever talked to me about it. I look tall and lean but my body is not reflecting this. Scary but this talk is giving me some hope. Thank you.
Thanks for this outstanding video. What I really appreciate about both Cyrus and Robby, it’s their attitude. They do not have a victim mentality, and they are showing that you can thrive with a high carb low-fat Whole Foods plant-based diet.
As always you are so clear about diabetes and the effects on our health. Love your book, Mastering Diabetes. You and Dr Neal Barnard changed my life. I have been vegan since 4/27/2020 and lost over 100 pds and got off of meds for diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol. You rocked my world. I am 58 years old now and wish I knew about this way of eating decades ago. Thank you!
Congratulations Elizabeth!!!
Cyrus is a genius at explaining insulin resistance in a way that we can all understand.
Awesome and informative interview. Lots of details.
What a awesome interview Rip. And what a pleasure to hear from someone who lives with Diabetes. Glad you had him on and bring him back by popular demand.
This was the best explanation on insulin resistance. You made it easy to understand. You have a talent for teaching Cyrus. Thank you for the interview Rip. 👍
I love your podcasts, guys. You both have so much common sense on food and health. The world needs to know about it. ❤️
I appreciate Cyrus’s honesty about his dealing with type 1 diabetes and Rip’s astute questions to help us understand Cyrus’s explanations. Life saving information here. Thank you for for doing this interview!
I ABSOLUTELY love this guy!!! He really knows his stuff. ❤ Thank you for this video 😊
Excellent podcast..I love you BOTH..now I understand diabetes and can share with my friends and family the myths and the truths of diabetes..wow I was mislead for years..my dad suffered and died from this disease..if I knew then what I know now..perhaps he would still be here..Thank you for sharing..#worldchangers #masteringdiabetes
Great interview! Loved listening to Cyrus explain how the body works. I learned so much and feel inspired to do better.
This is my best Khambatta interview ever because I learned more about his personal history and evolution to this time. The statement regarding glycemic index is mind blowing. Thank you very much, Rip, for your unique style of communication.
Wow this is a fantastic podcast, I’ll send it to my relatives, I have been following you Dr.khambatta, you are awesome the way you explain it, easy to understand the facts, wish you all the best !
One of the best interviews and discussions of insulin resistance and promoting health in general.
I'm so thankful Cyrus is still alive after the onset of three autoimmune diseases. The world is a better place and many lives are far better because of him!
I believe that the scientific knowledge of autoimmune disease is growing fast, probably due to better knowledge of immune system functionality in general and that prevention will start happening, plus excellent treatments.
Dr Cyrus. Your explanations are very understandable. Im learning a lot. Thank you!!!!
Thank you Guy's so much for clarification of what most doctors dont have a clue about
Another awesome podcast!! Thanks for sharing this valuable knowledge. Keep educating us. God bless.
One of the best video I ever watched and learnt a lot.
Hello Cyrus my name is Sondra I’m 42 years old I was 24 when I was diagnosed with type two diabetes but now doctor say I have type 1. I also have hypothyroidism and adrenal insufficiency. Our past with the disease, the diabetes sound so similar when I heard you talking about it. my blood sugar has been on a roller coaster ride since I became a diabetic in 2005. Just wanted to introduce myself.
Great podcast, and Rip always asks the best questions
Thank you!
Wow, Cyrus explains it all so well.
Type 2 diabetic here along with a perfect storm of metabolic syndrome symptoms. WFPB for about 9 months and my A1C is down to 5.7! Still have some work to do with the glucose and the triglycerides (which are stubborn). Found Mastering Diabetes only recently and it is an excellent resource for education on reversing diabetes!
I wish the whole world understood that carbs are great. And animal protein toxic over the years.
Thank you for helping many understand this truth.
I am a 66 year old runner and tennis player in Bangalore and turned vegan from vegetarian in October 2021 thanks to a lecture I heard by Doctor John McDougall. I feel so light during my long runs.
I realized today that the right food and exercise are much more important to health, than good or bad genes! Our genes bow down to this wonderful combo. They don't attack us as long as these two are at the forefront!
My father, Retired Air Marshall P V Iyer, 92 years of age, has just written a book on fitness : Fir at any age.
Amen 🙏👏👏
Not true. I eat balanced and I never got any autoimmune diseases or diabetes.
@@KenWang2 happy for YOU
I've moved to comment. I'm still confused how I became insulin resistant, but 2019 blood test showed an A1c of 5.9 after some weird nerve sensation in my leg. I was well on my way with no clue. Doc suggested low carb diet. I jumped on the keto bandwagon and lost 30 lb down to ideal weight of 170 lb within a few months. Transitioned to Mediterranean for almost a year and stayed at the same weight. But got sucked back into keto and intermittent fasting because of claims of alztimers prevention and my A1C stayed right at 5.4-5.6. Way to close to the 5.7 prediebetes to be comfortable. So I thought keto would do this if I was strict. And I was. Felt pretty good honestly. Good health metrics except my A1C did not budge and my LDL-C went from 80s to 170s. My wife watched a vegan show that suggested fat was the cause of insulin resistance. I started, but just could not believe it. Seems so odd and extreme honestly. Fat caused high blood sugar. LOL.
Cyrus and Robbie on Rick Roll had me hook where I could not turn the channel. This fat blocking insulin receptors from working made sense. I scared me because I had been eating high fat (fairly low animal fat, but really high nut fat that has saturated component but did get hooked on keto bombs with high sat fat) for 18 months. My system was saturated with fat literally with the high LDL. Luckily my extreme exercise burned a lot of fat in ketosis so I did not gain weight, but my liver enzyme did rise and I had some proof that extreme keto did nothing for my A1C.
So I begged my doc for a CGM script only two weeks ago. I learned that after 18 months of keto, the first apple in years spiked my blood sugar to 180 in 30 min. This was less than a week ago. I should note that after every carb meal I'm walking, lifting weights, surfing or riding a bike since my CGM. After just a few days now the spikes are smaller and rebound to lower blood glucose than I ever measured during keto. I was on a 36 hour fast and my blood glucose would be close to 100. I just had a cup of blueberries and it peaked quick to 120 and dropped quick to 93. I have noticed that over the last week, my nightime numbers are getting better. Last night I was in the 70s for over 3 hours. Below 90 for 6 sleeping hours. My average glucose a week ago was 115. Yesterday it was 101, but coupled with 4 hours of surfing over two sessions.
And walking after a meal. Wow. Get a CGM. It will change your life. I found in the last week that a walk 30 min after eating is a miracle blood sugar eraser. Completely blunts and reverses any increase in blood sugar instantly and actually pushes you lower. Mine was just hitting 145 after a carb meal at lunch today as I started walking. In 30 min it was down to 86. The spike only lasted 5-10 min and all that blood glucose was forced into muscle cells.
One other thing. I can tell my body fat has dropped in the last two weeks by veins I've never seen. I was lean before, but just carbing up and exercising afterwards has set my metabolism on fire. I'm actually worried of getting too thin, but hope I'm able to eat more to find the right balance.
Thank you!!! So many questions answered with fact based info. I've wasted more time and money looking for options I could actually apply.
How do we get our current doctors to realize some of their recommendations are not helping us? I wish I could find a way for my general physician to see this video for issues unrelated to me directly. I will probably give him a copy of "Mastering Diabetes" during my next and last physical with him. In 2018 my former doctor in the same clinic recommended statins for my high cholesterol. Fortunately, a relative of mine introduced Rip's father's book. I avoided statins by choosing a WFPB lifestyle. My test results surprised my physician so you'd think that alone would make him challenge his current views.
Rip, thanks for providing incredible insight with your selection of subject matter experts. Dr. Khambatta's position on diabetes is unique due to his personal experience with Type 1 diabetes, his IQ, his interpersonal skills and his desire to learn all he can about this disease. I will be recommending this video to any friend who is experiencing any concerns with diabetes.
We appreciate you sharing your experience. Great idea to give the book to your physician. Keep us updated!
Cyrus you are awesome and a totally smart young man.
Another inspiring podcast! Thank you ❤️Cheers to more plants in our lives….let food be thy medicine 🥗❤️
Absolutely!!
Hi there...I live in the UK. Today I was looking in the book store in my little town...Unfortunately they didn't have the book Mastering Diabetes for me to buy it. They said if I wanted to order one book. I would have to wait more or less 1 month to receive it...😵😮😞😞
I've tried the Mastering Diabetes method and didn't work well for me but on the other hand Plant-Strong works. I noticed that the amount of fat coming from the diet depends on the person so 30gr of fat per day wasn't enough for me as Mastering Diabetes teaches but 15% of the total calories works. I hope this helps someone who is decided to try plant-based diet!
My first time to hear Cyrus Khanbatta PhD Exam and I have learned a lot about my type II diabetes and how to manage it with plant-based food.Thank you!
I'm so glad you heard this message! I've been wfpb for 15 years and this is such a powerful way to improve your health. I hope you are doing well! :)
I don't have diabetes, but I did purchase their book about 2 years ago and liked it a lot. I'm not sure about only 10% fat for myself, but I don't go anywhere near a high fat diet.
In my case I was feeling drained on carbohydrate diet of white rice and potatoes. Now I have switched to cauliflower rice and no more potatoes. Eating more chicken and eggs,yogurt , milk .I feel so much better and energy level is much better. However my A1c has dropped only from 6 to 5.8 due to this change. Not sure what is going on .
So no fiber or complex carbs? How many green, yellow, red and orange vegetables did you eat daily? Find your formula based on how your feeling. Don't trust a you tube video when your body isn't feeling as good as it could. As someone who lived a low carb diet for 10 years with all the animal fats and proteins but still had fatty liver , it took years to be honest and admit I felt run down and wanted a bowl of oats and fruit. I love having my carbs back and they are all complex carbs with lots of fruit and veg. My liver is better, my bloodwork is better and I'm feeling better.
Learning a lot
Wonderful talk. Next time I would love to hear about the effects of Met Forman and the other diabetes drugs.
So with your protocol whats now the role of the glycemic index of whole carbohydrate food.?
My daughter-in-law and her husband, are both on Paleo/Keto. She has gotten pregnant twice, both times, the baby failed to grow or to achieve a heartbeat. So the babies died in the same way twice. Is this the cause of her diet? Could it be affecting the sperm of our son?
When I’ve talked to our son about Plant-Based, he shut me down and would not communicate with us for over two years. So, what am I supposed to do?

I’ve been vegan for 25 years and am no fan of keto or paleo or carnivore diets. Your loved ones have suffered heart-breaking losses and possibly physical trauma. They need love and support. If they are not asking, do not offer advice.
There is no problem getting pregnant on a low carb diet. Sami’s wouldn’t exist if that were the case.
???? What about consuming frozen vegetables? Do they work just as well as fresh vegetables?
Dr Michael Greger said frozen is even more nutritious then fresh because they are flash frozen for peak freshness !
In the book Mastering Diabetes it states that you can download a sample of the decision tree, but I can't find it on your site and no one there is answering my chat.
I followed low carb high fat diet for two years and I lost 52 lbs. My blood pressure and all other markers are normal. My blood glucose rise to 140-150 after meals and takes about 3-4 hours to come back to baseline. Few days ago, I watched one video from Dr. Cyrus and in his diet I found that fruits, legumes are not harmful and we can always eat them. I started fruits legumes and vegetables. The results were good but I got confused. In this diet, my blood glucose rises to 200-210 and comes back to 130 in one hour and within 3 hours it’s below 100. I don’t know which one right or wrong. I was diagnosed pre diabetic two years ago. I still don’t know what to do. I currently have no symptoms of pre diabetes. I am fine but understanding blood glucose rise and drop is still my biggest question.
Let me know if someone knows about blood glucose rise and drop.
If you still eat fats like oil, butter etc then your blood sugar will stay high. Don't eat any fats
@@ksitigarbha9787 can we eat fats like olive oil at least
@@sgaaleim419 all oils are a red light food for Mastering Diabetes. So no oils according to them.
They have a video which explains which foods are green light (ok), amber(use rarely), or red( never use)
@@ksitigarbha9787 thanks buddy. Appreciate it .
This is a better partner fr u than de previous one, more mature. 💐
so can we eat avocados or not?
How do you become insuline sensitive?
high carb (fruits), low fat (30g or less)
How about the raw plant diet?
What a fabulous interview! I've got the meal plans and joined the 6 week challenge and was most disappointed in that the meals are so complex and not just simple fruit, veggies. I'm non-diabetic.
I did Atkins in the 90s. It took til 2016 with Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, What the Health and FOK that I woke up.
I want a book please
At about 1hr 16mins, I've been told that as the baby's saliva during breastfeeding comes in contact with the areola that the nerve senses there are able to determine what balance of fat and protein the baby requires as it's body grows and nutritional needs change.
It’s true!! Cyrus was put on planet earth to save us all….
Thanks
How much does it cost? I'm broke and really want to do it.
Cyrus's book is like $20, $14 Kindle and used.
I agree with pretty much everything you're saying but I really wish people would stop recommending 80/10/10, that is too low on fat especially for women. I tried a bunch of different diets and have been healthy but 80/10/10 messed me up the most. New research on women also suggest women need a higher ratio of fat for hormone health, maybe closer to 20% but I agree with keeping fat low in general. All the research I've combed through tells me that high fat diets eventually lead to a variety of issues.
does wheat bread lessen your blood sugar?
It raises mind
Well, there are many people who have reversed there type 2 diabetes on full fat diet KETO.. others have used a full vegan diet. Others have used fasting. Others have used raw food diet to reverse their diabetes..
I think where the world has reached, it wouldn't be prudent to say your diet is the best over others. Otherwise you will fall in the main stream of doctors who are so hinged to there practices..
Many things work out there and our bodies are the best source of information as they tell us how they feel after trying a diet..
My view is this.
The body wants consistency with a certain diet. Don't mix different staff, otherwise this will confuse the true picture of what really makes your body sick... Otherwise, good for you that this works for you
Hi , you mentioned don’t mix stuff . What do you mean by it? Can we eat keto toast with olive oil ? Is it like mixing stuff?
We need more science and number my boyfriend says.
She is your first one of 2023?
Oh cyrus. You are really handsome without hair, eyebrows..... really good looking.
..... its "dear" ❣️ Cyrus not " deaf " it's a spelling mistake below. Plz tutor, tuition yr Drs. on de ABC of nutrition, anatomy, & physiology, natural cure & self healing & I. F. We hre in this part of de world india take sesame, peanut, coconut, mustard oils, pure ghee, Nigella, flax virgin oils. Also replace carnivoire with our intake of diary, nuts, lentils, herbs pulses, grams, horsegram, beans, millets, like sorghum, foxtail, little millets, barnyard & Pearl millets so highly nutritious, with even vit d, in it; hi- minerals, proteins, Ca etc
Several Indians are vegetarians and also do not eat too much of ghee or butter. If what you say is true then they should not be diabetic. Yes we are on the way to become the diabetes capital of the world.
Maybe oil? Coconut milk cream ect🤔
From what I have experienced with Indian food is that ghee may no longer used, but everything is fried or coated in cheaply pocessed oil.
Affer watching this video, I bought a box of bananas. Today I ate about 16 bananas and now I feel very sleepy and without any energy. Whats going on?
Your body is detoxing out the gunk
That's a big jump. And you're overeating in the first place. That's 1500 calories in one go. You probably still have a lot of fat in your blood stream from what you have been eating recently preventing the uptake of sugar into cells. I'd swap some of the bananas for beans/ vegetables to start off with at least
Maybe buy the book Mastering Diabetes and ease into the high-carb, low-fat lifestyle. It suggests that to start, it's more important to first lower the fats (ditch oil), THEN increase your carbohydrate consumption.
Why I get so much weight on this lifestyle
I never gave much thought to Dr. Cyrus not having eyebrows. I've seen that before. People who say he's a freak are jerks
So if we have a diabetic dog/cat , we should make them vegan... I dont think so, that get me even more confused. Do these youtube doctors have real studies, or just are conclusions basen on a given diet, I ask this because the keto diet works, AND this vegan diet works, so my conclusion is that since the human is the most adaptable animal in this planet, I think both diets are just a survival mechanism.
Stop feeding them human treats like bread and pulverized carbohydrate animal treats no matter how much they beg.
Thats weird you say that fat gave you diabetes. I was getting diabetic on a high carb diet. Maybe you are confused.
125g of carbohydrates on a low carb diet??? Sorry to tell ya but that’s not what most low carb doctors recommend. And it’s not a short term result/benefit. Keto/Carnivore diets are the future.
