In this special live episode of The Life Possible Podcast, recorded at the 2026 Ideal Protein Calgary Super Weekend, Dr. John Barnes sits down with Dr. Jonathan Little, professor and researcher at the University of British Columbia, to discuss groundbreaking clinical research exploring the Ideal Protein Protocol use in Type 2 diabetic patients.

Dr. Little shares the results of a landmark study involving 188 participants living with Type 2 diabetes. The findings included significant weight loss, improved blood sugar control, substantial reductions in diabetes medications, and remission in some participants. These results were influential enough to help inform Diabetes Canada's clinical practice guidelines, making it the first diabetes organization in the world to formally recognize Type 2 diabetes remission.

The conversation also includes an exclusive preview of Dr. Little's ongoing DECIDE Trial, which compares the Ideal Protein Protocol head-to-head against a standard whole-food ketogenic diet to determine which approach is most effective for achieving similar results in Type 2 diabetic patients.

Whether you're living with Type 2 diabetes, struggling with insulin resistance, caring for patients, or simply interested in the science of metabolic health, this episode offers an exciting look at the growing evidence that nutrition can be a powerful tool for improving metabolic health.
