You can get started by filling out an application with your history, and we can review your situation and history to be sure it is a great fit for you.
What is it worth for the
possibility to be diabetes free?
You apply for the program, we review your history, and only if it is clear the program is a good fit, then we continue
Lower A1c guarantee. Based on lab results during the initial assessment, we will lay out a plan and expectation of lowering your A1c for the program duration. If you follow the plan and don’t achieve it within the planned program length, we will keep working with you for another 90 days at no cost

We have a no-risk application processHow hard is it going to be?
How hard is it to live with diabetes or pre-diabetes? Compared to that, it’s not hard at all. But like most things in this life, it’s all up to you and your motivation. Are you willing to commit to yourself and take on a temporary challenge in order to vastly improve the rest of your life? Imagine the possibility of living a life of vibrant health, a life full of the energy you need to accomplish all of your goals and enjoy simply being alive. Of course it’s a change. But unlike the “change” that has you on the path of pre-diabetes and diabetes, this one is positive. And you will be supported along your journey and meet others on a similar path. When you start seeing results and feeling better than you ever realized was possible, change becomes easy and fun.What if I work hard and it doesn’t work?
The 5 step process we have developed has been shown to work time and time again. We don’t know your case and everyone is different. Yet, everyone we have worked with has seen decreases in their A1C and reductions in their insulin resistance, even those with a weak pancreas. However, not everyone is starting from the same place and not everyone gets the same results in the same amount of time. Your results will depend on how healthy your pancreas is, your level of insulin resistance and what lifestyle shifts you choose to implement. The great news about our 5 step process is that during Step 1 the testing and review will give you a clear picture of what to expect individually before starting to make the lifestyle shifts.What role do nutritional supplements play in the program?
Our focus is the natural foods, and ideally the supplements would be the minimal required (B12, D, multivitamin), however we often find that many people are out of balance and so during a phase of bringing the nutrients back in balance appropriate supplements for deficiencies are suggested, but not required.What if my pancreas is weak, is there any hope left?
If it turns out that your pancreas is very weak there is still hope but more lifestyle shifts are needed for a longer time. If it turns out you are close to or have type 1 diabetes and you are not producing sufficient insulin, you may need to be on insulin. The lifestyle approaches we have developed are useful even for people with type 1 diabetes to reduce the total insulin required and minimize risks of complications. The great news is we can determine all this ahead of time before you start making the lifestyle shifts and if you are not committed to implementing the plan that would work best for your case, then we can stop there and you won’t have to start the changes! At least you will know where you stand before you start the process of making the changes and what to expect.How long is the program?
Program lengths vary from 4 to 12 months so there are many options to meet your needs! So apply and find out what is best for you!Why will it take 4 months? Why so long?
Your body will take time to adjust to a new routine, including new foods that you may not have eaten before. It takes time to adopt a new habit, let alone a new lifestyle and you will be going through a process of assessing how different foods affect your blood sugar levels. Everyone has unique needs and it is important to try different approaches including various food combinations, exercise, and stress management techniques in order to determine what works best for you. By the end of the four months you will have learned which foods to look out for and better understand how to interpret blood sugar numbers and lab test results. The goal is a sustainable lifestyle change that will allow you to enjoy vibrant health. We want to support you in making that happen — it is not a quick-fix, but rather a long-term improvement in your health for the rest of your life.Do I have to become 100% Vegan to do this?
One of the reasons we’ve created this Simple Steps program is that some people said, “I will never become vegan, but I want to make many changes towards my health.” We will support everyone in achieving their unique goals. We will educate you as to which foods produce the best results and we have created a category system with ten stages of different types of foods. You’ll be setting your own goals in terms of where you are and where you want to be.How is this different than a plant-based diet?
It’s not just any plant-based diet, it has to be specific to diabetes. What we’ve put together in our catalog is a combination of whole foods that are plant-based and also friendly for reducing diabetes.What about the food, what guidelines do you have?
We have a great variety of options from easy to make 10 minute recipes to more complex larger meals. This is all part of a 320+ page manual with recipes, guidelines and a week by week plan. You don’t need to read through them all! But they are there for your reference and guidance, it is a living document which we continue updating with new recipes and new information to help you on your longer term journey. Thousands of hours of work and decades of knowledge from our team are embedded in this document which is your guide to navigating the challenges of lowering your blood sugar levels while reducing risks of heart disease and other complications associated with diabetes.
