Meet Charles Carpentero — Diabetes Coach & Nutrition Expert

You Don’t Need Another Doctor. You Need a Guide Who’s Been There.

Most people come to me feeling frustrated, unheard, and stuck on a blood sugar rollercoaster. They've seen their A1c creep up, their energy crash, and their medications pile up — but nothing really changes.

If that’s you, you’re not alone.

As a Type 2 Diabetes Coach and Nutrition/Fitness Expert, I help people take control of their blood sugar naturally — with a science-backed, food-first, gut-centered strategy that actually works.

No starvation. No gimmicks. No more guesswork.

Why I do This Work

Before I was a coach, I was a United States Marine — which taught me discipline, grit, and how to show up when it counts.

But what shaped me even more was what I saw when I came home: people I loved battling diabetes, doing “everything right,” and still getting worse. I realized how broken the traditional system is — and how many people were being failed by it.

That’s what led me to functional nutrition and performance science — and ultimately to create my signature program, The A1c Solution.

My Philosophy

True healing isn’t about quick fixes or prescriptions — it’s about root-cause nutrition, mindset shifts, and taking radical ownership of your health.

A Root-Cause, Gut-First Approach to Reverse Type 2 Diabetes

I don’t just hand you a meal plan or tell you to “cut carbs.”

I work with you at the cellular level — using data, root-cause assessments, and a full-body lens to improve insulin sensitivity, gut health, nervous system function, and more.

Think of it as a clinical-meets-coaching approach:

Grounded in science
Backed by results
Customized to you

Because reversing type 2 diabetes is never just about blood sugar — it’s about healing your body from the inside out.

Proven Diabetes Coaching Backed by Functional Medicine

I’ve worked with hundreds of clients across the U.S. to:

Lower their A1c naturally — without extreme diets
Reduce or eliminate medication (under doctor supervision)
Rebuild energy, balance hormones, and lose weight sustainably
Heal gut, metabolic, and blood sugar issues that most plans ignore

Certifications & Education:

🔹 Board-Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS)

🔹 Master’s in Applied Clinical Nutrition from Northeast College of Health Sciences

🔹 Master’s in Exercise Physiology & Health Promotion from California University of Pennsylvania, with a research focus in human performance and injury prevention

But honestly? It’s not the letters after my name that matter most.

It’s the transformations I’ve seen — and the people I’ve helped reclaim their health, confidence, and lives.

Tackle Type 2 Diabetes at the Root — Insulin Resistance

My mission is simple:
Help you stop managing symptoms and start actually healing — with a science-backed, food-first approach that rebuilds your body from the inside out.

This isn’t about restriction. It’s about freedom, healing, and getting your life back.

And it all starts with one decision:
To stop outsourcing your health — and finally take control, with a proven guide who knows how to lead you through it.

You don’t need another plan. You need a coach who knows what it’s like to fight for your health — and win.

Yes, I want to Work With Charles
