My name is Chef Jeff. 30+ years in professional kitchens. Culinary Institute of America trained. Former owner of 5 restaurants.

I am a chef, educator, and Diabetes Lifestyle Strategist who believes food—not medication—is the most powerful tool for reversing type 2 diabetes.

My diabetes path started about 10 years ago, I needed a knee replacement. I was in pain every day. I could barely walk. I was ready to get it done. But when I went in for the pre-op, they told me:

“We can’t do the surgery. Your A1C is too high.”

I was shocked. For 15 years, I’d been taking my meds. I’d been following doctor’s orders. I thought I was doing everything right. But my diabetes wasn’t getting better.

So drawing on my culinary background and years of research, I built a food- and habit-based system that allowed me to lower my numbers, lose weight, and get off medication. Now, through Your Diabetes Roadmap, I help others do the same—by giving them choices, encouragement, and a clear path forward.
