From Corset to Crown

How would you rate your self-confidence? Does it make you uncomfortable to even think about it?! Meet our Disruptive Nutrition member, Katie. In this Real Talk with Real Clients episode, she is sharing her own health journey.

Before working in Carrie's private practice, Katie had been on Weight Watchers and was training for a marathon. Although she was losing 3-5 lbs a week on that program while she was training, she was feeling worse and worse. Her body wasn’t responding well to long training runs which was affecting her confidence. But on paper, Katie seemed to be doing all the right things.  Calories in, calories out. Or was she??

Katie got married but didn’t love her wedding photos because of the way she looked. She wanted to do things with her very active husband and despite having run a marathon, she couldn’t do the things she wanted to go out and do with him.

After work with Carrie and her team, she quickly learned food is required for her body to thrive and she wasn’t eating enough food to fuel her body! While Katie may still struggle with body image at times, she is seeing how important 1% progress a day is and her confidence has significantly improved! Now, she’s on the road to a healthier lifestyle and that has helped her mentally. 

Food can be fun and it can serve the body and the soul. We feel better when we fuel more often!

We love our Real Talk with Real Clients episodes! In honor of many who are back to school we are sitting down with school counselor, Jen! She started working with Carrie and her team at the busiest time of year for her school schedule, but it was also the perfect time for a lot of reasons!

Jen who at first glance, appeared to be perfectly healthy and fit was on weight watchers when she first met Carrie. She was regularly working out at the gym, but still felt like she was straining to get fitness in. Her days even included physical therapy to deal with the pain and inflammation she was feeling! 

Jen often found herself sitting on the couch in tears after a workout. She was constantly in pain, icing her sore body and using a Theragun massage tool to ease her sore muscles.  She couldn’t live like this anymore. It was time for something different! 

As soon as Jen started learning how to fuel her body with a focus on blood sugar  her sweet cravings went away, her pain went away, and her energy came back! She now realizes those diets were never going to work. Jen doesn’t feel the guilt anymore about the choices she makes because she’s now getting healthy from the inside out!

It’s the second episode in our new What’s Really Weighing You Down series and this week Carrie and Deb are tackling a topic that is at the center of the weight loss debate. Is it weight loss or overall health that you REALLY want?

Maybe you’re not even sure of the answer, but when we talk with hundreds of women, 90% of the time, weight loss is always the most important component to what they believe is getting healthy. The conversation inevitably turns to the way their clothes fit, or the way they think other people see them and they will use the scale to measure overall progress.

Our body is trying to protect us and holding on to weight to do just that. A truly HEALTHY body will naturally release weight. We are diving into the difference between weight loss and health because we’ve been telling ourselves a big lie and it’s what is really weighing us down. Tune in!

 We love a Real Talk with Real Clients episode, and this one might be one of our absolute favorites! You will not believe this transformation in just 2 months!

Like many of the women we speak with, Alane had been on a diet rollercoaster for 30 years and that included dealing with metabolic issues. Alane always wanted to feel better, to feel healthy and to lose weight. So, she did what anyone else would do, she regularly met with her Dr. 

The advice she was given was to lose weight. Isn’t that what everyone says? If you want to feel better, you have to eat less and work out more. When she did the things her doctor recommended, she actually felt worse!  

Alane quickly realized after watching a training from Carrie, what she teaches was different, and it was time for something different. Without hesitation she started working with Carrie and her team, and her results are incredible! Tune in this week to hear how in just 2 short months, everything changed, and exactly what she did!

We are featuring a Real Talk with Real Clients episode this week and it may be one of our favorite ones yet!

Meet Jean, who is a 52-year-old educator, but was living like a 75-year-old when Carrie met her. Not only was Jean on insulin when we met her, but her daily blood sugar was registering in the 400’s and at those levels, she was lucky to be alive.  (Normal blood sugar is between 80-120).

Jean experienced fatigue, join pain, mood swings, was constantly getting sick and was battling Hashimoto’s. Each time Jean visited her doctor he gave her more medicine/insulin to manage her symptoms, but that only made her feel worse and worse. She realized she needed a real change to heal her body.

In only the first 2 weeks after learning how to balance her blood sugar Jean was down to an average blood sugar level of 250. She wears a continuous glucose monitor and regularly pays attention to how food affects her blood sugar. She learned to adjust where necessary and has stabilized her blood sugar.

After 4 weeks not only had she lost 20 lbs but her average glucose readings were in normal range...all without medication and while eating carbs for EVERY meal! Tune in to hear how she did it!

We are doing something exciting here at The Diet Disruptors Podcast! With this episode, we are officially launching a series designed to help you get to the bottom of what is REALLY weighing you down!

50% of people will have done some sort of diet this year, but 75% of people still have some type of insulin resistance or pre-diabetes diagnosis. That just doesn’t add up! 

The messaging in our media has influenced us to eat more processed food while trying to be skinny. We’ve turned to low fat, skinny options that are loaded with chemical additives and junk to make it taste good and sit on the shelf longer.

This new series is dedicated to women who are interested in knowing what’s really going on after trying diet after diet and giving into binges and cravings without knowing why. Join Carrie and fellow nutritionist and women's health expert, Deb VanDusen for a multi-layered approach about the diet industry, and what’s really weighing you down to achieve food freedom one and for all!

Meet Rosana, who from 13 years old until last January, spent her life searching for the perfect diet to get to the perfect weight. Like many of the women we work with, Rosana says her approach to health was wrong. It was about chasing a size 2 dress size and believing that her value as a woman was tied to how skinny she was and what size she could achieve.

She used to believe that eating was somehow linked to psychology or something being ‘wrong’. These beliefs and previous diets affected her for decades.

Just 2 weeks into our 4 -weeks to wellness program Rosana realized this wasn’t a traditional diet. She already felt completely transformed!

Rosana realized she is making space for herself, learning, growing and that for the first time in her life, she joined a real educational approach to nutrition that she could continue forever. Now, she has real freedom because she no longer measures herself by the scale!
