My 4 years old son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when he was 1 year old. He was exclusively breastfed until that age so no exposure to gluten except from my breastmilk probably ( I have leaky gut and I was consuming sourdough bread from ancient wheat while breastfeeding). As soon as he was diagnosed and he started eating food, I put him on a gluten free diet and although he was dependent on insulin from then on (unlike the Danish children mentioned on the research above), his HbA1C levels are good since then. We once tried giving him sourdough bread from ancient wheat but still his blood sugar skyrocketed from that and could not be lowered for a long time after eating. I think this is a clear sign that even a small amount of gluten causes lots of inflammation in his body. From my experience gluten is something to avoid for life for type 1 diabetics. Thank you for another great article Chris Kresser!

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
