Meet Dr. Schierer
Dr. Ted Schierer, PhD, is the founder of JETTphc, an organization that uses functional medicine nutrition to help people with pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes and diabetes-related, diet-driven disease. He was a USDA biologist for 10 years before leaving to start JETT. He attended Iowa State University for his undergraduate degree in ecology and Ph.D. in molecular biology. He has authored two books.

Living in Reverse describes how reversing type 2 diabetes and obesity, the centers of chronic disease, can prevent or reverse a series of diet-driven chronic diseases, create healthy, more sustainable lives and more sustainable communities.
Thanks for the help Ted
I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2006. My numbers would range from 150 to 275. My doctor put me on Metformin and then added Trulicity several years later. My numbers were still in the 150-225 range even watching my diet. I started following the suggestion of Ted regarding my carb intake, processed foods, and so forth. My numbers started coming down immediately. After a year of watching my diet, I currently keep my numbers from 100-125 without any medication. I had stomach issues with the medication, and was taking large quantities of Pepto Bismal daily. This issues went away. I feel better of course, and have more energy than previously. Thanks for all the great advice Ted.
