If you’ve been told “your sugar’s a little high,” this conversation is your turning point. Endocrinologist Dr. Carmen Cartwright (Clinical Director, Specialty Clinic, Oaktree Medical Center) joins Alexis Burrows to unpack how pre-diabetes can be reversed—and how many living with type 2 diabetes can move toward remission, protect their organs, and reclaim everyday life.
In this episode you’ll learn
- What “reversal” and “remission” actually mean (and which lab numbers matter: A1C, fasting glucose).
- The real drivers of change: food you’ll actually eat, movement timing (post-meal walks), muscle building, sleep, and stress control.
- How meds fit in (metformin, GLP-1s, insulin)—as tools, not failures.
- What to do first this week—two simple, high-ROI actions.
Why this matters
Pre-diabetes isn’t “borderline”—it’s a window. And even with type 2, the line can trend down with consistent, sustainable habits. This episode replaces fear with a plan you can measure.

Episode 34 - Get Your Life Back ft. Dr. Kelley Cartwright-Miller and Dr. Virginia Chan
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people miss work, avoid exercise, or lose sleep—but it doesn’t have to be a permanent part of life. In this week’s episode of Vital Voices, we go back to the basics with two expert physiotherapists from Oaktree Medical Center, Dr. Kelly Miller and Dr. Virginia Chan, to unpack the real causes of back pain and what your body may be trying to tell you.
Together, we explore the daily habits that silently strain your spine, how your sleep position, footwear, and even stress levels impact your back, and what warning signs to watch for at every age—from kids to seniors.
We also dive into:
- How to build a pain-free workspace
- Practical tips for prevention across the lifespan
- The power of physiotherapy and what to expect during treatment
- Alternative approaches like movement therapies and posture correction
- Common back pain myths—and what to believe instead
Whether you're battling chronic pain or hoping to avoid it altogether, this episode is packed with practical, evidence-based insights to help you move better, feel better, and get your life back.
🎧 Tune in for tips, truth, and a fresh perspective on healing from the inside out.
