The Habitual program is based on decades of research, across multiple disciplines

Put type 2 diabetes into remission

The DiRECT Trial showed us that remission is not only possible, it is acheivable for many type 2 diabetics. [1]

Reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke

Following a 12 week TDR and ongoing behaviour change program, at 24 months, patients in remissions’ Q-RISK was about half of control . That’s half the risk of a stroke in the next 10 years. [2]

Hands-down the best non-surgical approach to reversing type 2 diabetes

Remission at one year

TDR and behaviour change in combination have been shown to help a significant proportion of study participants reach remission from type 2 diabetes at 1-year.
