Reclaiming Life from Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes
I lost over 300 pounds and reversed type 2 diabetes. Not by eating less. Not by trying harder. But by fixing insulin resistance, changing how I eat, and rewriting the metabolic rules that kept me sick and exhausted for decades.
This site isn’t about hollow motivation or white-knuckle discipline. It’s about understanding exactly what is happening inside your body, and using that biological knowledge to take your health back.
About Wade Buehler: Reversing Type 2 Diabetes & 300lb Weight Loss
Let me tell you something I’ve heard more times than I can count—and something I used to believe myself: “It doesn’t matter what I do. Diets either work for a while then stop, or they don’t work at all. Even if you manage to lose weight, it just comes back. I’m done. I’ve made peace with the way things are.”
I’ve been there. I’ve said those exact words. I believed them because after enough failed diets, enough weight lost and violently gained back, what else are you supposed to believe?
We don’t give up because we’re weak. We give up because we’re exhausted. We give up because trying again feels like opening ourselves up to heartbreak, one more time. Somewhere along the line, we start telling ourselves a story that says, “Maybe this is just who I am.”
You are not broken. You’ve just been given the wrong information.

The Root Cause: Understanding Insulin Resistance vs. Caloric Restriction
If you’re here, it’s because you’re tired of beating yourself up. You are not the only one stuck in this exact spiral—angry at your body, confused by conflicting medical advice, and wondering if true health is even possible for you.
Traditional health guidelines tell you that obesity and diabetes are failures of willpower, a basic math problem of calories in versus calories out. But biology tells a completely different story. When your system is trapped in chronic insulin resistance, your body is chemically locked into storing fat and demanding sugar.
You aren’t failing your diet; your diet’s underlying science is failing your biology. Shifting to a structured ketogenic lifestyle resets this hormonal balance, lowers insulin levels, and allows your metabolism to finally heal.
Undone: A Practical Guide to a Ketogenic Lifestyle and Metabolic Health
In my book, Undone, I pull back the curtain on my journey from weighing over 500 pounds to reclaiming my physical autonomy. This isn’t just a memoir; it is a practical roadmap for anyone looking to break free from metabolic disease.
Undone delves deep into the actionable science of sugar, the biological factors that dictate weight gain, and how to transition seamlessly into a sustainable ketogenic lifestyle. It provides the exact structural rules, mindset shifts, and manageable goals necessary to turn your life around.

Facing your health alone can feel like staring up at a sheer, vertical cliff—daunting, terrifying, and steep. But mountains aren’t conquered in a single, massive leap; they’re climbed one deliberate step at a time.
You’re not here to watch from the sidelines. You’re here to start your own climb. Whether you’re standing at the absolute base of your mountain or looking to reach back down and help someone else up theirs, this space is built for sharing raw experiences, learning accurate science, and growing together.
When we climb together, the summit stops feeling impossible. Let’s prove to ourselves and to a broken healthcare system, that persistence beats perfection.
