The Fat Fear That's Keeping You Sick
The studies that blamed saturated fat? They actually showed vegetable oils increased death rates. Then the data disappeared for 40 years.
From Surviving to Thriving with Diabetes
Research without the jargon. Advice you can use tomorrow. Hope you can feel today.
You Know This Feeling
Your doctor says one thing. Researchers say another. Your body does something else entirely. - And you're left with questions no one really answers.
Maybe you have type 1 and you're exhausted by blood sugar that won't cooperate. Maybe you have type 2 and you've started believing it can only get worse. Maybe you're battling weight or high blood pressure.
And maybe you're tired of hearing "eat less, move more, take your meds" — because it's not working - at least, not well enough.
There's another way.
Glysimi digs into the research that challenges what we've been told. We question guidelines written decades ago. We examine the studies behind the headlines. When industry funds the research, we ask: Who profits?
We translate it into language you can use tomorrow. No jargon. No miracles. Just honest knowledge that gives you the courage to think for yourself.
And we provided references to the science, for those of you who want to dive deeper.
Because this is about hope.
There's a path to understanding your body instead of just masking symptoms. And it starts here.
What if the advice you've trusted isn't the whole story?

Can Type 2 Really Be Reversed?
The standard approach treats high blood sugar with medications while ignoring what caused it: chronically high insulin. A different approach—addressing the root cause—achieves remission rates up to 46% in real-world settings. Here's the evidence most doctors never see.
Why Weight Loss Is So Hard — And What If It Doesn't Have to Be?
You've tried everything. Eaten less, exercised more, counted calories. But the weight won't budge. What if the problem was never your lack of willpower — but a fuel switch that got stuck?

A Personal Note
"I've lived with type 1 diabetes for over 30 years. I built Glysimi because I know what it feels like to stand there with questions no one really answers.
I know what it's like to struggle. To doubt. To grow weary of conflicting expert advice.
Glysimi is my way of reaching back to you — standing where I once stood. Confused. Frustrated. But not finished.
You deserve to know what's actually possible. "
