Did you know that out of your total daily caloric intake, carbohydrates should be the greatest piece of the pie? In other words… You should be eating more carbohydrates than proteins and fats. Yes, even if you have type two diabetes. 💖

and the world that we live in, carbs get demonized. But the reality is, even brain function alone requires around 130 g of carbs per day. That’s not counting exercise, or activities of daily living – like walking to your car 🚗 , brushing your teeth 🦷 , and cooking dinner. 🥘

carbs = fuel

Higher intake of animal fats worsen insulin resistance even if there’s an acute response lowering blood glucose. We focus on the root cause to work with your body and mind.

nothing to fear here. And once you understand the right quantity for you and your body, and how to mitigate a blood sugar spike using fat, protein, and fiber. This changes the game.

you realize you don’t have to cut foods out – in fact you have to learn how to enjoy them and stop fearing them in order to reach your A1c and weight go long-term 💯🌄

this is why I have past clients messaging me two and three years after graduating my program, The Blood Sugar Collaborative, telling me that they’ve lost another 20 pounds or they’re finally down in the 5% A1c range, or they’re finally pregnant with PCOS 🥹 this program is built to be the last stop on your blood sugar journey.

if years of dieting and restricting, haven’t worked for you… I’m so glad you found me. This page is meant for you.

Here’s an uncomfortable truth. The person with the outcome you desire cannot come to fruition if you remain taking the same steps and actions that you’ve been taking. 💯

that version of you exists – but on the other side of taking new steps, new actions, things that don’t feel quite right in the beginning. Might feel a little scary. Might feel new. Might feel uncomfortable. It means carving a new path. 🌄

Years ago, my therapist gave me the example of when you’re hiking. There’s always a clear cut path. It takes time to create that path. So if you’re going to make a new one, imagine how many times it takes for you to walk over that path to create a new one 🌞

but it exists. And when I see women make this decision every day in The Blood Sugar Collaborative, I see new versions of them being created. I find this so courageous and so inspiring.

when you heal your relationship with food, when you commit to the things that you say you want to do, when you step into the version of yourself that has that even when it’s uncomfortable… Beautiful things happen 🫶🏼

I still do this in my life. And I will until the day that I die. Because that’s what life‘s about if you want to become the best version of yourself. And honestly, life is a lot lighter, more beautiful, and more exciting when you live in this level of commitment to yourself. ✨

This one change to my clients’ Diets leads to an improvement of blood sugar is almost immediately ❤️‍🔥 as a type diabetes, dietitian of nine years I’ve seen this happen again and again

You’re busy, you’re running out the door, and a meal gets skipped. When that happens, a process called glycogenolysis occurs in the body. 📈

if you don’t provide glucose from the foods, you’re eating, your body will break down stored glucose called glycogen.

it does this and has these built-in mechanisms because it loves you! However, when you have insulin resistance, the root cause of two diabetes, this causes blood sugar spikes.

One of the first things I work on with clients is making sure that they’re eating the proper things regularly throughout the day. While still enjoying the foods they love! I will die on this hill. 💖

if you’ve been struggling to lose weight with type two diabetes, i see you 💖

when I say it doesn’t have to be difficult or complicated, and you don’t have to cut out the foods you love – this is exactly what I mean

This is what over 3000 cal looks like compared to under 1800 cal. And the one that has 1800 cal actually has more food! 😱

this is nearly the exact same thing, with a few simple modifications. You don’t have to cut things out. I will die on this hill.

AND I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, ladies ☝🏽🤍 strength training is the single greatest way to change the inner workings of your body and how it metabolizes glucose

By the time you’re diagnosed with pre-diabetes, up to 30 to 50% of insulin producing cells called beta cells on the pancreas are already damaged. those cells become functionally impaired, and produce less insulin.

this makes it much more difficult for your cells to recognize that insulin is present, in order to allow glucose into the cell – thus lowering blood sugars 📉

strength training can help your body recognize that insulin is present. It also requires glucose, so your cells will soak it up. Not only in the acute phase, but AT BASELINE 😍🙌🏽

if that isn’t magical, I don’t know what it is! your body wants to work with you, and that shows by these mechanisms. When you show up for your body, it shows up for you.

if you’re ready to learn how to do this, you want to grow older, healthy, feeling confident in your skin again, and having labs that show for it…

cycle breaking queens unite 👑🧚🏻‍♀️ until you learn how to heal, you will continue to repeat the same cycles. This isn’t exclusive to what we work on in therapy. This is also a part of healing our relationship to food. And once you do that the way that the world opens up for you. The way that you no longer are constantly having overwhelming thoughts about food and what to eat next… The world opens for you and you can finally be present in the moment. This is healing. Not only is that the work that must be done to maintain long-term results, but you deserve that. And that is enough 💛
