By showing you how to reverse insulin resistance, we give you the keys to cure your own diabetes or prediabetes.
This course will give you all the practical tools and support you need to reverse your insulin-resistance. Once the journey is over, you will know how to maintain your new lifestyle.
The program is based on solid scientific evidence. As such, it works for almost all humans, except for those with certain genetic diseases. Some people need longer than 40 days to completely reverse their insulin resistance, but they all eventually get there. However, if you feel that this is not for you, you can ask for your money back within 30 days of the start of the course. We refund 100%.
Type 1 diabetes is a disease of too little insulin in the body. As such, this course is not ideally suited for Type 1 diabetics. However, type 1 diabetics that implemented the FIRE recommendations in their life have seen their daily insulin requirement drop significantly. In addition, some of the bad outcomes of Type 1 diabetes were reversed in these individuals.
We emphasise that this is not a weight loss program. However, once the metabolic function of insulin is restored, people find that the excess weight slips off effortlessly. “You don’t lose weight in order to get healthy. You get healthy in order to lose weight.” As such, if you only want to find a rock solid, science-based way of losing weight, this 40 Day journey will certainly help you do just that.
