This podcast explores my personal journey of overcoming insulin resistance (IR) which has led me to helping other women with type 2 diabetes achieve better health. Sharing my own struggle with gestational diabetes and the challenges of being a busy professional, I explain from my unique perspective how traditional medicine often focuses on symptom management rather than root causes. I detail my transformation through coaching, rethinking health beliefs, and embracing functional, healthy approaches to food and lifestyle changes. This episode also emphasizes why change feels uncomfortable due to neurochemistry and how leaning into discomfort leads to lasting results.

In this episode, we explore how to set meaningful health goals for 2025 that help reverse insulin resistance and improve type 2 diabetes naturally. You’ll learn how to dream big, break your goals into actionable steps, and address past failures with a champion’s mindset. By investigating what’s held you back and creating a granular plan, you can overcome barriers and achieve lasting success. Whether it’s lowering blood sugars, losing weight, or dropping medications, this episode will guide you in turning your intentions into reality. Let’s make 2025 your healthiest year yet!

This episode talks about the importance of dropping our worries during the holiday season. When we see that anxiety is feeling out of control about the future and depression is feeling out of control about our past, we start to see that living in the moment is the only place we have any control and agency. This is the place where we can make a difference. This episode makes a case for the benefits of living in the present and challenges you to do it!

WARNING: I had some microphone issues in the last few minutes of the podcast. It was during my medication warning, so here it is in print:

If you’re on medications for type 2 diabetes, be cautious when changing your diet. Your meds were prescribed based on your eating habits, so adjustments will be needed. Monitor your blood sugars closely and open a clear line of communication with your doctor to ensure your safety.

The holidays can feel like a minefield of tempting foods, conflicting desires, and food pushers urging you to indulge. This episode dives into managing cravings and urges while honoring your health goals—without missing out on the season's joy. Learn how to make a plan that balances enjoying holiday treats and keeping your blood sugars steady. Discover strategies for handling unexpected temptations, advocating for yourself, and using simple tools like fasting and exercise to mitigate the effects of indulgence. Tune in to take control of your holidays, savor the moments, and protect your health.

Building muscle is a powerful tool for improving insulin resistance, the root cause of type 2 diabetes. Muscle acts as a storage site for glucose, helping to lower blood sugar levels and reduce A1c over time. Larger muscles store more glucose, making them critical for managing fasting blood sugars effectively. While insulin sensitivity can improve, limited muscle mass may still lead to elevated blood sugar levels. Strength training, particularly lifting heavy weights, is essential for building muscle and enhancing glucose storage. Incorporating weightlifting into your routine improves blood sugar control, boosts metabolism, strengthens bones, and supports overall health.

This episode focuses on how women with type 2 diabetes can navigate the holiday season while working toward better health. The root of sustainable health isn’t just food or exercise—it’s mindset. We explore how shifting from an external locus of control ("health is out of my hands") to an internal one ("I create my health") can empower women to make better choices.

Learn how healthy individuals approach food, stress, sleep, and the unexpected, especially during the holidays. By adopting small, consistent changes, you can start living like a healthy person now—even in the face of challenges. Discover actionable steps to take control of your diabetes, health, and life.

The holidays are coming, and it’s easy to avoid discomfort by giving in to unhealthy choices. But discipline, though uncomfortable, leads to freedom. Avoiding hard choices—like skipping that extra slice of pie or ignoring fasting blood sugar levels—creates long-term challenges. Discipline in food choices and health habits can reverse insulin resistance and improve type 2 diabetes. It’s not about avoiding all enjoyment but planning what truly matters and sticking to it. Practicing discomfort now, like resisting food desires, builds the freedom of a healthier, med-free life. This holiday season, lean into discomfort to stay on track and enjoy true freedom.

In this episode, we dive into the journey of a woman battling type 2 diabetes. She’s tired of meds and endless advice that doesn’t work—until she meets a guide (that’s me!) who helps her take action. Through the 14 Days to Better Blood Sugars plan, she discovers how small changes can avoid failure and lead to long-term success.
