What happens when your doctor says you’ll be on meds “until your name is on the tombstone”? For Oscar Camejo, that became a challenge to prove his doctor wrong. In this powerful episode of Light Up the Mic, host Kembala Evans sits down with the Beating Diabetes Lifestyle podcast host—to uncover his raw, emotional, and resilient journey of transformation.
Oscar opens up about the near-death diagnosis that forced him to confront his habits, the dramatic food purge that put him in grouch mode, and the exact steps that helped him lose 84 pounds and reverse type 2 diabetes. He also shares wisdom on diet, sleep, stress, hydration, and relationships.
You’ll also hear the unfiltered “Walrus and the Ring” story, where Oscar reveals what it’s like to fight for your health when the support you expected isn’t there. His journey reminds us that progress, not perfection, is the real goal — and that movement is medicine.
This is an empowering health transformation story about courage, resilience, and proving that progress, not perfection leads to real change.
Key Takeaways:
- IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to consult with your doctor or healthcare professional before starting any diet, lifestyle change, or exercise routine.
- Take Inventory of Your Life: Whiteboard your habits — what you eat, drink, and do daily — then face it honestly.
- Small Changes Matter: Replacing one snack or one late-night habit with a healthier option can create momentum.
- Movement is Medicine: Oscar reversed diabetes and lost 84 pounds through consistent exercise and lifestyle shifts — no shortcuts.
- Rest is Critical: Lack of sleep fuels cravings, stress, and poor health choices.
- Hydration Matters: Water is the “chief nutrient” our bodies need, not soda or processed drinks.
- Be Willing to Ask for Help: Get the help you need.
- Communication is Key: How to communicate effectively to get better results.
