In this Ted talk Reversing Diabetes, you can watch “Dr. Sarah” in action. She is full of passion and energy making the presentation an absolute delight to watch. I remember the first time I watched it, thinking that for a petite lady, she sure owned the stage! I keep referring to her in the past tense because unfortunately, she passed away of cancer at the young age of 50.
Dr. Sarah Hallberg was the creator and the Medical Director of the Medically Supervised Weight Loss Program at Indiana University Health Arnett. She was certified in Internal Medicine, and Obesity Medicine, as well as Clinical Lipidology. She held many other degrees and accreditations.
In her presentation she argues that obesity is not a consequence of sloth, gluttony or personal failing, but a hormonal disease largely centered on insulin resistance. She refers to the condition as “pre-pre-type 2 diabetes”.
Enjoy this 18-minute presentation. It’s one of the best TedX talks I’ve ever watched!
