Tackling Type 2 Diabetes – Free Masterclass with Ocean Robbins and Brenda Davis
If A1C, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes has become part of your health conversation, food advice can quickly feel confusing. Messages about sugar, carbohydrates, protein, fat, medication, and weight often compete for your attention.
This free online masterclass looks at the topic through a food-first lens, with a focus on blood sugar, insulin resistance, and the everyday eating patterns Brenda Davis, RD, believes deserve closer attention. The goal is to make the concepts easier to understand without turning them into a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Brenda brings decades of work as a registered dietitian, author, speaker, researcher, and lead dietitian for the Diabetes Wellness Project in the Marshall Islands. Ocean Robbins, co-founder and CEO of Food Revolution Network, hosts the conversation and helps guide the discussion.
You’ll hear practical explanations, questions worth considering, and a clear look at the framework Brenda uses when discussing type 2 diabetes. Use the session as education that can support more informed conversations with a qualified healthcare professional who knows your history.
Why Attend “Tackling Type 2 Masterclass”

Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes raise practical questions that go far beyond whether a food tastes sweet. Brenda asks you to look at the broader picture of blood sugar regulation, insulin resistance, food choices, and the metabolic context behind common nutrition advice.
That matters because oversimplified rules can make an already complex subject harder to navigate. The masterclass gives you plain-language context for Brenda’s perspective on sugar, carbohydrates, protein, dietary fat, A1C, and everyday habits so you can better understand the questions being raised.
The session also brings Brenda’s clinical nutrition background and research experience into a practical conversation about food and diabetes. It is educational rather than individualized care, so the value lies in building understanding and identifying topics you may want to discuss with your own healthcare professional.
What You’ll Learn
In this session, you’ll start with the familiar idea that type 2 diabetes is mainly about eating too much sugar, so Brenda can explain why she believes that picture is incomplete. She focuses on what happens as glucose moves from the bloodstream toward the cells and how she interprets the role of insulin resistance.
From there, you’ll hear why Brenda challenges blanket advice about carbohydrates, protein, and dietary fat, which means the conversation moves beyond simple lists of “good” and “bad” foods. The session keeps the discussion connected to questions that can inform everyday food decisions.
Along the way, the masterclass connects food choices with A1C, blood sugar, post-meal habits, and practical nutrition strategies, so that you can understand Brenda’s framework without treating it as a personalized treatment plan. The emphasis stays on education you can take into a more informed conversation about your own care.

Trailer Transcript
0:00 Hello, I’m Brenda Davis, registered dietician and diabetes expert.
0:07 Type 2 diabetes is ravaging the globe.
0:11 It’s causing millions of people to suffer from blindness, amputations, heart attacks, and a life of pain medications, blood sugar monitors, and endless doctor’s appointments.
0:28 And most of the people who get it don’t even know they’re at risk until the serious damage is done. I’m on a mission to change all that. I’m million copy best-selling author of books like defeating diabetes, kick diabetes essentials, and the kick diabetes cookbook. I was the lead dietician on groundbreaking international diabetes research projects and I’ve helped thousands of clients to prevent and totally reverse type 2 diabetes.
1:04 The conventional wisdom tells us that type 2 diabetes is solely caused by too much sugar. But the conventional wisdom is wrong. My scientific research has proven that for most people, the core problem is not just sugar. A healthy body loves sugar. We all depend on it to turn glucose into energy.
1:34 The real problem is how the sugar in your blood is delivered to the cells. So factors like the wrong kinds of fat which clog your cell pathways can be an even bigger contributor than sugar itself. I created the tackling type 2 master class because my own father died from diabetes and I want to do everything I can to prevent that from happening to you and to the people you love.
2:09 You’ll learn what the latest research really says, why most of us have been misled about the real causes of diabetes and the solutions, and what it truly means to eat right so you can have steady energy and be able to dance, hike, and play again and create beautiful memories with your loved ones.
2:38 If you or anyone you care about is facing type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, or if it runs in your family, or even if you’re just curious to learn more, this is for you. You need the facts and you need them now.
2:59 All you have to do is register for the totally free tackling type 2 master class and I’ll see you very soon.
