Episode 38

In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Rita Brewer, physician associate, certified lifestyle medicine diplomat, and founder of the Diabetes Reversal Formula coaching program. With over 33 years of experience in internal medicine, surgery, and integrative health, Rita has made it her mission to help people with type 2 diabetes reduce medications, normalize blood sugars, and reclaim vibrant health — using lifestyle as the medicine.

Key Takeaways:

  • Diabetes Can Be Reversed: Most patients have never been told reversal is possible. Rita’s biggest frustration with conventional medicine is that it waits until a full diagnosis before acting — and even then, offers medication over lifestyle tools.
  • The 7 Pillars of Healing: Rita’s formula goes beyond the standard 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine by adding mindset as the foundation. Nutrition, movement, sleep, stress reduction, avoiding toxins, and community support all play a role in reversing chronic disease.
  • Food Is Your Best Medicine: Everything on the end of your fork is either feeding good health or feeding disease. Rita’s top advice for everyone — diabetic or not — is to become aware of toxic, processed foods and replace them with real, whole nutrition.
  • Medications Manage, Lifestyle Reverses: Drugs can stabilize chronic conditions, but they rarely stop progression. Only true lifestyle change has the power to actually reverse type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
  • Prime Health Is Quality of Life: Rita defines prime health as being physically capable of doing the things you love — traveling, hiking, exploring — with energy, stamina, and limited pain. Living long means nothing without living well.
