#68 Dr. Roy Taylor - Understanding & Reversing Type 2 Diabetes

In this episode of The Muscle Memoirs Podcast, I am joined by Dr. Roy Taylor to discuss his research on type 2 diabetes remission, including the etiology of the disease, the personal fat threshold, and very-low-calorie diets.

Dr. Taylor is a professor of Medicine and Metabolism at Newcastle University and Honorary Consultant Physician at Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. He was visiting professor of medicine at Yale University (1990-91) where he acquired new MRI methods to look into the human body. On returning to the UK, he established the Newcastle MR Centre. He also developed the UK system for screening of diabetic eye disease and is the author of over 300 scientific papers.

Thank you for this moment.
I followed the protocol of the professor Ron Taylor last year and now i managed to reverse my diabetes 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[forsdykemontague]

I followed Prof. Taylor’s 12 week programme and my HbA1C reduced from 94 to 40 mmol/l (so far), he is an absolute Godsend to the world !

[trotskyite]

it's criminal this has only 105 views so far. It is essential knowledge for most American t2 diabetics who have been convinced by pharma that t2d is a lifelong condition

Just started listening to an Audible book by Roy Taylor today and he is one of the easiest people to listen too and he shows it here too. What a great guest to have on.

I listened to Professor Taylor and my HbA1C went from 55 to 37 in 100 days. I now eat low carb and 1000 cals a day max. I feel great.

I'm 4 weeks in on the Newcastle diet. Not easy, but if it means living longer and being free of diabetes complications, I'm here for the long haul!!! Thanks Dr Taylor - your book was brilliant!

Thank you so much for hosting Dr Roy Taylor.
He is doing a great research covering various aspects of diabetes type II and it's remission, reversal with out medicines.
I have stopped all my allopathic medicines for my diabetes type II and have achieved HbA1c 5.5 after three months of stopping the medicines, just with dietary changes a little bit of exercise.
I hundred percent agree with Doctor Roy Taylor Sir...❤🎉❤🎉

Wonderful podcast, may god bless these noblemen who broadcast valuable informations for free

[faithnfitnessguykk]

Another amazing show. Dr. Taylor is not only a great visionary researcher, but an amazing explainer as well! Good precise questioning too.

[mohamudissa]

Dr. Taylor I’m forever grateful and I speak for all the diabetics out there

[dennisboyd]

WOW This is ground shaking information, why would my Dr. Not Know This?

[jelenamarusic]

Amazing interview! Thank you both! The professor is not only knowledgable about this topic based on his research, but he also seems the kind of person who genuinely wants to benefit others. The interviewer is also asking great questions and letting the guest speak. So rare.

[nickangelovski]

Thank you for sharing this great video 😁

[freetrailerpoor]

Thank you. Putting it all together after this guy. Expect to be diabetes free in 60 days. 39:30 heart risk 50% drop.

[snomoco]

WOW this man is the answer. It is his research that allowed the likes of Michael Moseley (whom I like) to become famous. He's the man. The real deal...

[rashmikini]

What a lovely podcast Mike. Thanks a ton to you and Dr. Taylor for this lovely discussion. You have asked such logical and relevant questions. Thanks so much for publishing this on YouTube…so that people like me from India too can benefit…otherwise we would have been able to access Dr. Taylor’s wonderful work. Thanks again for your generosity and well researched and thought out questions. It was so informative.

[robertmillar]

Damn good video. I bought Dr Taylor's book when I was in the UK two years ago. Got my Type 2 diabetes under control. I love the way he explains scientific/medical concepts in an easy to understand manner.

[joanwynne]

Thank you so much I have learned so much excellent talk I have just been diagnosed as pre diabetic and don’t want to go on insulin

[nicholasallen]

I'm surprised there is so little advice on healthy eating with lots of fiber and more focus on these shakes. By bulking up with low calorie density foods you can still eat reasonably large amounts of food and lose weight. That to me at least sounds more sustainable long term to keep the weight off.
