Fourteen years with type 2 diabetes.
Reliance on insulin.
And now? Her doctor says she no longer needs insulin, and her metformin dose has been cut in half.
How did this transformation begin?
Someone suggested she listen to a podcast while walking.
That podcast happened to be the Diabetes Remission Roadmap.
In this solo episode, Cory shares an incredible listener-turned-client success story and explores a concept he calls delusional optimism.
Not pretending everything is fine.
Not ignoring your diagnosis.
Not believing you can wish your way to better blood sugar.
But believing that your current circumstances don't have to be your permanent circumstances.
Along the way, Cory shares a ping-pong lesson with his six-year-old son, a surprising turnaround on the softball field, and why the stories we tell ourselves can determine whether we even give ourselves a chance to succeed.
You'll learn:
Why believing change is possible often comes before having proof
How years of struggling with type 2 diabetes can shape your expectations
The difference between optimism and wishful thinking
Why small wins build the confidence to keep going
How building muscle, moving more, and improving nutrition turn belief into measurable progress
Why one bad blood sugar reading doesn't mean you've failed
Why diabetes remission isn't guaranteed—but meaningful improvement may still be possible
You don't have to believe you'll win every point. You just have to believe you're capable of winning the next one.
Maybe your A1C is high. Maybe you're taking multiple medications. Maybe you've tried everything and feel like nothing works.
That might be your reality today.
It doesn't have to be your reality forever.
Ready to take control of your health and stop settling for “managed” diabetes?
Grab your earbuds and listen in.
