RIP Sarah. My condolences to your family. You leave an amazing legacy and you have saved more people than you know from metabolic disease, myself included. I never had the pleasure to meet you, but you changed my life. At 53 years old, I have dramatically improved my health thanks to your videos. I still can’t stop the tears. We lost an amazing human being way too soon.
Agree 🙏😔

How old was she??
She saved my wife’s life with her diabetes work. I wish I could return the favor.
😔😌🙏
Awww
Amazing how doctors are able to speak about this kind of cancer without bursting out in tears. RIP dear Sarah
She passed today, 3/29/22. She was a hero. She chose to live for her kids. Life ain't fair.
Rest in peace, Dr. Hallberg.
So true. I can't help but feel the same when I hear of such early deaths. So unfair. Goes to show we can't predict much in this life 😥 She won't be forgotten ❤
So tragic. We need that date remembered to honor her memory. ♥️ 3/29/2022. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️ for family
My heart is breaking right now, knowing that Sarah Hallberg has lost her battle with cancer. I first watched this video in May 2021 and was moved by it then. This evening I watched it again, in honor of Dr. Hallberg. My heart goes out to her family and also her colleagues. The world has lost a treasure. Via con Dios Sarah. The world will miss you.
RIP Doctor Sarah. Gone to soon. Praying for your children and husband and extended family
Sarah passed 10 months after this video. I also lost a friend to this terrible disease
I’m so sad to hear Dr. Hallberg has passed away. She was such an beautiful, amazing person.
Sad. I just learnt this great doctor is no longer with us. RIP
RIP Sarah. 🙏 You did good, rest well.
You’ve set us up for success. We all should follow her example of a mom, wife, friend, and health advocate.
It was so amazing of her to share her story. So honest and so clear. Such a great communicator. Lost way too soon.
What an incredible woman, what an incredible loss for everyone. So brave & strong & vulnerable May she rest in peace ♥️
A very sad moment for me who has learnt so much from her and she inspired me to reach out to my community in Kenya using the knowledge i learnt from her. Goodbye hero sarah and fly away with the angels. Your legacy will continue to inspire and guide.
This breaks my heart today 💔
I am saddened to learn this!!! 😢 What a hero she is and was!! Her legacy will live on. Her TED video was one of the ones that flipped the switch for me and my diabetes reversal journey. God Bless her!
Her kids must be SO proud of her, she touched so many lives changing them for the better all across the world... Her legacy will continue for many years to come. Sarah is a star.⭐
One of the best interviews I've ever seen. Amazing. The lack of patient advocacy in medicine is despicable.
Remarkable video, Thank you Dr. Attia for your interview skills and also your heartfelt approach. Rest in peace, Sarah.
A true pioneer and advocate for metabolic health. Our hero. Rest in peace beautiful lady.
This is heartbreaking, I hope Dr. Hallberg's family is able to cope with her loss. RIP Dr. Sarah Hallberg.
Over four years free from T2D and metabolic syndrome. You are among a very small handful of doctors who have given me the tools to self-recover. . You have changed my life. We have never met. Your information was health equity for me. Thank you Dr. Sarah.🙏
I'm very grateful for this interview. I had a mentor diagnosed with lung cancer. She went into remission for about 5 years but eventually passed a few years ago at age 44.. She was the same profile-- never-smoker, lean, young, healthy. Her whole practice was treating cancer patients. We were all shocked. One day she had a cough and it just kept getting worse. I turned out she had a genetic factor. Shocking.
Having met her a few times and following her career, my heart was crushed when I heard about her diagnosis. So glad she chose life as long as she could. Her fight was more than admirable and how many people helped while she was ill. The extra time she was able to give her children.
Sweetest, most positive, caring, beautiful soul I have had the pleasure of being treated under!! Dr Hallberg.. if anyone ever can beat this you have have what it takes inside to do it. I am praying for you!! 🙏🏻❤️
She is absolutely amazing, lovely and loved.
What a wonderful person. Prayers for her family and all who love her. Rest with God.
What a privilege to listen to your story and share this time
Watches this last year and again today and I so admired her. She is a big loss to the world!
Sarah taught me so much in this video….all tunnels have lights, even dim ones. I hope, when challenged, I strive for the light
Absolutely heartbreaking! after watching Sarah's TED about reversing type 2 Diabetes and switching to see more of her videos, landed on this one with the shock about her cancer!
I strongly now believe that each soul has a path and purpose, you Sarah met this purpose by changing the lives of many 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I wish I could like this more than once. Incredible
An amazing woman in every way. It is devastating to lose her.
Thank you, Peter, for making this special testimony public. My prayers for the family, and for the children I can say only that your mother left us a powerful testimony of love. Thank you
What a kind beautiful soul. RIP , thanks for all you have done in your accomplished life . Prayers to her family.
I can't stop crying. All I want to do is give Sarah a hug...and Peter too. What a heart wrenching tragedy . I have never met Dr Sarah Hallberg but her spirit came across so strongly and purely that it moved my heart. My thoughts are with her family...
That was an absolutely incredible interview. The openness of Dr Hallberg and the sensitivity of Peter Attiah is something that will stay with me for a very long time. Thank you Sarah for your bravery and teaching us a lot about your experiences and I wish you strength, health and love.
This touched me so much. Thank you, Sarah. And Peter.
Yes ❤️
Watching this interview (again) now has been hard, extremely hard! God give Strength to her family and us - This is a loss for everyone
And Peter, i cannot stop appreciating (Then and now) how well you conducted this discussion!
She helped so many patients that she will be the happiest person in the heaven 💗 Such a perfect example for all other doctors what they can do for the mankind 🙏🏽
So terribly sorry to hear of her passing. She will forever be an inspiration for her life, her work and her story.
I am at a loss for words, what a journey. To face and take up this devastating situation. She is incredible! I hope that she reaches her goal.
May she Rest In Peace! An inspiration and a wonderful human being!! ❤️💔
Heartbreaking ...what an amazing human being...caring for others no matter ❤️
🙁 Dr. Attia, Thank you for being so courageous enough to have this conversation with one of my hero's in life, Dr. Sarah Hallberg. I think we all know either family members or friends who have or had diabetes and or cancer of one form or the other. I have friends who have diabetes and a family member whose cancer returned and this time from breast to her bones. I work in clinical research and know all too well, that we still do not have all the answers. I also agree with one of your prior admissions that we need to look at the root of the problem, to look at the cause and effect and realize that we should all be asking if what we thought we knew or have known about various diseases was all wrong (from your TedTalk). Before I happened on your own podcast and your TedTalk, I knew there were alternatives and the reason I shared every talk that Dr. Hallberg ever gave. I believed in her research and reasons why we needed to see that there were differences in treatments that I immediately knew she would continue to fight the establishment to help people learn the truth. I too feel we can't just blame people with their diseases, because even people who seemingly are in the best of health come down with these devastating diseases. Sarah has passed away and before I was aware of her passing, I had been documenting many of her insightful talks about diabetes. I was sharing her talks with everyone I could on social media, emails and directly to many family and friends, so people could see that there were alternatives. I received an invite to her prior company's new webinar on reversing diabetes. I jumped at this opportunity and started to tell others again.... then I researched her new company Virta Health, to learn more about "Reversing Diabetes with food", when I realized she had passed away. Just like her 14 year old, he too wanted his Mom, Sarah to continue helping others and not simply retire. He was right, she had lots more to share and we are so saddened to learn that her life was cut short. I also love the fact that she was still advocating for others even when she knew she had little time left. Thank you Dr. Attia for sharing Dr. Hallberg and compassionately as you did. Thank you Dr. Sarah Hallberg for making it easier for others to look at alternatives to living better and healthier lives!
This interview brought me to tears 😢. Hard to understand life. Not fair 🙏
What a lovely woman. I had never heard of her before but what a legacy she has left. Thank you for letting her speak candidly and being such a good listener Dr Attia.
You're a hero. You were before cancer and you're 100 x more now. Thank you for all your dedication and sacrifices and honesty! Your perspective is of extreme value.
Brave and courageous woman. We will miss you.
RIP Dr. Hallberg. I just watched your video on reversing T2 diabetes for the first time and found this video. You were one remarkable physician.
You´re such a warrior Sarah! I wish you to get your 11 years and that by then science has moved on and also into the actual health care!
I have been a fan of Sarah and the Virta team for a long time. This news was shocking. She and the Virta team should be nominated for a Nobel Prize in medicine.
RIP, dear Sarah. I loved your Ted Talk; it meant a great deal in my life and helped me lose 100 lbs. in less than 10 months. You did well and are greatly appreciated and will be missed.
My prayers are with your children, dear Sarah. Today is Dec 24, 2022 and I am in Mexico studying metabolic disfunction. Your initial TedTalk video inspired me to handle my cancer through surgery and keto. I had my lumpectomy March 14, 2022 and came to Mexico to recover and continue studying metabolic disfunction on the day of your passing. Your gift to the world is knowledge. Even with your particular cancer you inspire me, as my grandfather had the same lung cancer that spread to the brain. Like you said you live for your kids. I understand because I too live for my kids. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your candor and sharing your very personal pain for your children with Dr. Attia and all those who will hear and see the legacy of courage you have gifted. May your children grow and later in their lives continue to understand everything you have accomplished and share your life with your grandchildren to come.
Were do you study metabolic dysfunction? And are there any resources you would recommend I'minsterested? Thank you so much.
I hope you're doing better ❤
Heartbreaking. Truly. I’m so sorry for her sweet children. I lost my sister when she was 65 and had just retired. The system, there was not one for her. At a certain point they just said, there’s nothing else. I think there was nothing else she could afford or that insurance would cover, is my best guess. Dr. Sarah, was so helpful to so many of us. I will truly miss her! 💔💗
Dr. Sarah Hallberg = Angel
I'm absolutely mind blown by this interview! This is the deepest and most vulnerable interview I've ever seen. I'm scared to death and I have to change my life! I'm unhealthy, over weight, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, etc. The nerve of me to treat myself this way and put my children and family at risk of possibly losing me and seeing me sick and die is so hurtful and disappointing to me. Although she was healthy and got cancer and it was no fault of her own, the nerve of me to treat my body lack trash and damage my body and not have cancer...the nerve of me. You know what's amazing, it's that Sarah has saved so many lives surrounding diabetes but seeing this today hearing about the overwhelming grief and despair she felt, how young her children are who need her, etc; it made me scared to death to take my health for granted. This has truly changed my life! I'm forever grateful that she took the time out to be so transparent and vulnerable because it has saved so many lives maybe without her even attempting to. Some people are simply put on earth to save millions and guide us to good. She served her purpose and I'm grateful that God blessed us to enjoy her while she was here and benefit from her selflessness. Everyone please love yourself and take care of the blessing of good health before it leaves you.
Well said 👏
Fight hard.
The carnivore diet is a blessing for your type of health goals!
This was such a powerful conversation. Thank you both for being willing to be real, genuine, and present. I have come across your work within the last 6 months and it has changed my life. Fasting and ketogenic eating has helped me be the healthiest I have been in many years. Thank you so much! What a beautiful legacy Dr. Hallberg is leaving.
So heartbreaking. Rest In Peace Sarah.
I only found about Sarah after she passed away.
Her videos have changed my life. I’m on a low carb ketogenic diet and have lost 30lb in 2 months. My type 2 diabetes is under controlled and my HGgA1c is 34 last week based on only 2 months on the diet. It had previously been as high as 80.
I hope to lose another 30 lb before the end of may and will hopefully be able to stop my diabetes medication soon.
I admire Sarah so much for what she achieved in her career, the lives she changed and the lives her videos will save around the world in the future.
I love her enthusiasm, her intellect, her integrity , her science based approach to medicine.
I know her family will miss her dearly. We have all be deprived as a result of her untimely death.
I hope her family will get some appreciation of the magnitude of her contribution to the science of type 2 diabetes as her work will eventually touch the lives of countless millions and even billions of people around the world.
Gone but never forgotten ❤.
Oh my goodness I just watched her Ted talk on diabetes’s and searched to find more content - this is devastating 💔💔 and after changing so many lives - what a woman 🙏🏻 heartbreaking
RIP Dr.Sarah. You are in a better place.
Her place to be was with her family. But she is no longer in pain.
What a warrior.....thank you.
Prayers, positive vibes and everything possible for your healing journey Dr. Hallberg 🙏🏻🌹
Thank you both so much for sharing this very personal story. I have followed Sarah in her diet advocacy role for years. In July 2020 I was dx with APL, also fit, thin, with no risk factors and was shocked at not a single question or piece of data collected to help answer why. Even the most basic of postal/zip codes where I'd lived, or primary work of me or immediate family; nothing. With analytical power we now have, we should have/collect the data to help us identify unknown risk factors. This could result in very effective targeted screening.
fingers crossed for 11 years! Thanks for an insightful and inspirational interview :)
I'm very crushed on hearing this news, she is a great inspiration on how to deal with my T2D, she is the one who got me started and I owe a great deal of gratitude for that. I certainly hope she gets well, she's a wonderful and caring doctor, and mostly a human being...godspeed Sarah
Like many others here who have written, I am totally stunned to hear the news about Sarah's fight and ultimate passing. I remember so clearly watching her Ted talk and as a physician being blown away. When I found out she had joined the Virta team, I enrolled with them. Her incredible fight through her cancer is something I have never seen. I only have one haunting thought after watching this interview. I don't understand the thoracic surgeon's decision to not do a lobectomy based on sampling mediastinal nodes and finding neoplasm. The fact was she had metastisized to her brain at presentation so that finding positive nodes did not negate her desire to diminish as much tumor burden as she could to avoid mutations. Really would like a response, Dr Attia as to your feelings about this.
no words! thank you so much...
I just got told she recently passed away. She saved so many people in her life, this is such a great loss to us all.
What a marvelous and powerful lady. My prayers are with her.
Amazing conversation, really inspiring story
Good bye our dear Dr S Hallberg! You will be missed & remembered for your greatness and bravery!
Rest In Peace!
This is the second time I’ve seen Peter A show deep emotion for another human being. The first time was on a TEDTalk about a severely overweight and diabetic woman he was treating in the ER.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Your legacy carries on...RIP Dr Hallberg.
Andrew
it is Shocking to see such a wonderful upbeat healthy person go throu what she did....def inspirational ..motivated ..passionate...an amazing human being and dr... its just not fair ...tears!!
My sister at 65..non smoker.. diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of lung stage 1 from a routine chest xray. A lobe was removed and she is cancer free 8 years later. We were shocked as well.
High cholesterol is connected to lung cancer. Please Google it, it’s a fact
Wonderful Physician and human being that is helping so many people. Wishing her the very best.
Thank you for sharing your story. You are a strong and awesome human. Im a mom and I get the mom bear needs to usher our children into their adulthood. Im a diabetic working on low carb lifestyle with the help of your medical knowledge. We want you here with us.
Sarah has extended my life by helping me avoid the useless treatments for type 2 diabetes, and to avoid it alltogether. It hasn't stopped doctors from denigrating me, bullying me, and misdiagnosing me. I know now it won't ever end. Sarah was a godsend. So sad to see her go.
Dr.Sarah Hallberg is the most amazing and loveliest woman I have ever had the privilege of watching since i first saw her on youtube. She has been one of the many inspirations of my podcast Diabetic Survival available on Spotify. She has saved not only my life, but millions more who embrace a different way of thinking about diabetes for a near normal life. If she switches over to cancer advocacy, I completely understand. I hope she lives much longer than even she predicted. keep up the good fight, Dr, Hallberg, you have been a light in the darkness.
wow. this was really powerful, but also such a wonderful presentation of where healthcare and humanity intersect. Thank you both for this.
Just watching for the first time and she is amazing I am in awe so sad she lost the battle
The one first wish she got is that she made it to 50. RIP Dr Sarah Hallberg. Thank you for saving so many!
Sarah, May you live to hold your great-grandchildren. God bless you.
Sarah, godspeed. 3-28-2022
RIP Dr. Hallberg. Her interview shook something inside me 11 months ago and also now 🙏
Amazing woman! What a great loss to humanity. My heart goes out to her children an husband.
life is often not fair to us. I've been smoking for 40 years, I'm fit and healthy at the age of 66, no medication, no sport, not overweight, no sugar and grain consumption, no fast food....for a few years i worked as a nurse in a pneumology ward. we had asthma, emphysema, tuberculosis and lung cancer patients all the time. what surprised me at the time was that only one of the patients was a smoker. So there are other factors that cause lung cancer that nobody knows.
Poisons from the petro-chemical industry in our food, water, air, for a start.
Wow, I cried pretty much the whole show. 😭
Sarah, be strong. Love and prayers from kenya. You have taught me so much about diabetes reversal. My prayers are with you and i believe you will make it above your 11 years mark. Hold on to faith not just for the sake of your children but all of us who believe in your contribution to humanity. God's healing grace be upon you now and always.
Very powerful conversation, thank you for sharing.
Oh, this is just too hard to watch.
How is dr. Hallberg so brave discussing this with such grace.
She is my forever hero.
Not sure why I cried when I heard of her passing. I never met her. She was something special.
It is sad that so many people out there are dealing with grave diseases. I send you a big, fraternal hug.🌻
Thankyou both for your bravery honesty and all you have done and do and your legacy.
Thank you so much for this very intimate and personal interview! 😢
I have a strong feeling that you will fight it somehow
You are a very strong women ,and a strong physician ;
I am very hopeful ; being a physician myself
Thank you so much Sara. And thanks for trying to bring out the subject of health equity. I am an American living in Spain. 27 years. Married. Two kids. My wife, my daughter and I have all received extensive and serious medical treatments. We've never paid one out of pocket red cent for any treatment. And the Spanish medical system is one of the best. And we don't have or need medical insurance because here we have social medicine. It just plain old works. 👍🏼
By the way. You look great.
You pay via taxes. If people are healthy you will not have rationing like we have in Canada where our taxes cannot possibly pay for all the unhealthy people. US is very unhealthy. Universal healthcare would bankrupt us
We spend our money starting wars around the world.
Very heart broken. Can't imagine I feel so bad on the demise of a person I came to know just this day. What a great person! Dr Sarah Hallberg. Blessed to know you graced the world in our time. My condolences to your family.
This was quite a shock to come across this. I had just seen her TEDx video and then this one came along. It is one of the most gut-wrenching interview I have ever seen. You Dr. Hallberg are a true survivior in every sense of the word. Your journey is one of emotional challages that you articulate so exceptionally well. A true insperation to us that have to deal with life limiting diseases. My heart goes out to you and I am the better for knowing of your story. May God give you the longevity you require. God bless you Sarah. Peter Attia what a great interview. keep up the great work.
WOW! Amazing talk.. as a member of a 8 person family and 5 having cancer in a 6 year period this talk was very real, the last minute or so was a crush. Sarah words don't express the immense gratitude for sharing your journey and Peter great questions and caring in your voice. Thank you both
Wow, what a story she has. Thank you for sharing this.
One of the most gracious interviews that I have ever seen 🌹
