Reversing Diabetes with DelaneMDEP203: Indulgent Thoughts that Keep You STUCK!There are many thoughts we have regarding how to fix our type 2 diabetes. We have many thoughts regarding the reasons we continue to struggle with making decisions that serve our health. Frequently those thoughts seem like they are just truths. “I don’t know why.” “I just like that food.” And “I am just going to quit.”
Any of those sound familiar to you? This episode walks you through what those thoughts are creating in your life and how to stop them.
These have to be fixed before you can move on to living a naturally healthy life.

My body needs to be younger so I can exercise in order to fix my diabetes.2023-06-1229 minReversing Diabetes with DelaneMDEP201: The Biggest Obstacle to Reversing Your Type 2 DiabetesWe all watch the numbers. We wring our hands over our glucometers and our scales. We watch them with baited breath and then when they do not go in the direction we hope, we throw in the towel and down a pint of Ben and Jerrry’s. We feel defeated and sometimes hopeless that we will ever figure out how to be naturally healthy. This is because we are so heavily attached to the numbers. This podcast episode discusses what attachment is and why it works against us when we are trying to reverse our type 2 diabetes. Check it out! Te...2023-06-0527 minReversing Diabetes with DelaneMDEP200: How to Improve Your RelationshipsWe all want to have amazing relationships. Women frequently feel our value is determined by the relationships in our lives. We struggle because we cannot control the other humans in our relationships. This leads to feelings of hurt, disappointment, and sometimes anger. Our society teaches us that others in our lives have to change in order for our relationships to be good. We try to make that happen, and others in our lives feel manipulated. We can’t understand why it doesn’t fix our relationships.
This podcast will break down where the problem is with this approach we are taug...2023-05-2939 minReversing Diabetes with DelaneMDEP199: Learn how to do hard BETTER!Many women block the results they want to see in their life due to their resistance to doing the hard things. They exchange advancements in careers, meaningful relationships, and health and longevity for the resistance of doing the uncomfortable thing. They postpone what they want in their lives waiting for the outcome to be easier. Naturally, this keeps them stuck. The meaningful things in life are never easy. The “easy” is not meaningful. For type 2 diabetes, the “easy” is taking meds, injecting insulin, eating the foods that you that keep you sick, and staying diabetic. That’s easy. The hard part is li...2023-05-2223 minReversing Diabetes with DelaneMDEP198: How Cognitive Distortions Block You From Reversing Your Type 2 DiabetesWe have many thoughts in our brains that lead to feelings and actions that keep us from living a life free of type 2 diabetes. Cognitive behavioral therapists call many of these cognitive distortions. Cognitive distortions are thought processes that lead to misinterpretations of experiences we have. Frequently these thoughts are over exaggerations or irrational understandings of the events in our lives. These misunderstandings lead us to stop trying. Either the thought error makes us believe it's too hard, it's impossible, or it won't matter anyway. These adulterations of reality block us from creating the lives we want--free from type 2 diabetes...2023-05-1531 minReversing Diabetes with DelaneMDEP197: Awareness or Lack ThereofAwareness is the skill of managing our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Many of our poor food choices come from lack of awareness. When we feel cravings, anger, or overwhelm, and we have a habit of reaching for a donut, burgers, or the candy dish, we frequently are unaware that this feeling is the source. More than this, we are unaware of the thoughts that lead to these feelings. Instead, we pour our mental resources into changing our environment (avoiding the donuts, burgers, or candies) to avoid the habit of reaching for the food. This is never going to be a...2023-05-0829 minReversing Diabetes with DelaneMDEP196: Stop Self-Sabotaging Reversing Your Type 2 DiabetesIf you feel you are self-sabotaging reversing your type 2 diabetes, there is help. When we determine what our self-sabotaging behaviors are trying to say, we can figure out how to change the behaviors. Snacking when you are sleepy means you need sleep, not chips. Seeking comfort foods when we are sad means we need comfort not cookies. Craving ice cream when we are lonely means we need a friend, not rocky road. Wanting to hit the candy bowl at work in the afternoon when you are feeling overwhelmed means you need to manage your calendar, not chocolate. If these scenarios...2023-05-0133 minReversing Diabetes with DelaneMDEP195: My Journey Part 3 – Living Naturally HealthyPodcast Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Stitcher Disclaimer: If you have been medicated for your type 2 diabetes, BE CAREFUL!

This episode breaks down the steps to develop our authenticity as it relates to our goals and our health. Learning to care for our health in a way that aligns with our true, authentic self, makes food and exercise decisions straightforward and easy to execute. 2023-02-2733 minReversing Diabetes with DelaneMDEP186: What To Eat.I hesitate to give this information out.

Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #69 The "Have To" vs. "Get To" State of Mind
Feelings of obligation can become overwhelming during the holiday season. Often, clients come to me frustrated because of all the things they “have to” do, such as buying gifts, cooking meals, cleaning, decorating, etc. During this podcast, I discuss the “have to” mindset and challenge the belief that we must do anything. When it comes to life, everything is optional. We choose our responsibilities based upon the outcomes we desire. This “get to” thought is a much more empowering mindset.2020-11-2223 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp # 68 Out-of-Control vs. In-Control
Especially during the holidays when there are parties and feast days, it is easy to “loose control.” Being out-of-control, however, is just a thought. The problem is this thought drives feelings of powerlessness and the action of eating out of control. The reality is, you are voluntarily relinquishing or giving up your control. During this podcast, I discuss why we often feel out-of-control and the thoughts that drive our feelings, actions, and results.2020-11-1526 min

Kim's Inspiring Journey
As a coach, I get the privilege of working with some amazing people. During this podcast, you will meet my client Kim as she shares her inspiring journey to become naturally healthy. As a nurse by training, Kim thought she understood diabetes and she tried everything to avoid going on insulin. As her numbers got worse, she felt like it was hopeless. Kim resolved herself to a lifetime of diabetes and insulin. Through the DelaneMD program, Kim discovered a new approach to managing her high blood sugars.

Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #66 How to Live Longer
What if you could live to 120 years old? In his book, “Lifespan: Why We Age – and Why We Don't Have To,” Dr. David Sinclair discusses ongoing research on longevity and how 120 years may soon be the normal lifespan. During this podcast, I summarize some of the research discussed in this book as well as other research on longevity. I also present several supplements and medications that are being researched as having potential longevity benefits. Finally, I emphasize the importance of living a naturally healthy life as the foundation for longevity.2020-11-0128 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #65 Is it REALLY Low Blood Sugar?
Do you think you have low blood sugar? When you feel woozy or tired, do you turn to high-sugar snacks like honey or candy? Many diabetics have been warned about the dangers of low blood sugars and worry as soon as they feel symptoms like shakiness or clamminess. Many of these symptoms, however, are also associated with high blood sugars. During this podcast, I discuss low blood sugar and the thoughts or fears diabetics often have about low blood sugar. I also emphasize the importance of monitoring blood sugars to determine whether blood sugars are really low.2020-10-2524 min
Christian Biz Owners On FirePermanent Freedom from Diabetes: An Interview with Dr Delane VaughnThose who suffer from diabetes may think there’s no end to their suffering. The disease is treated as if there is no cure, and it stays with you for life. The little treatment there is involved expensive medications and dangerous side effects. Even if the medication lessens the effects of diabetes, it’s common that the side effects include weight gain, stomach discomfort, and in worse cases, kidney disease. In this episode, Dr. Delane Vaughn offers a better, natural solution to type 2 diabetes. She introduces a new lifestyle that does not include any sort of medication, so yo...2020-10-2233 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #64 Are You Really Hungry? The Hunger Scale
Often, we mistake brain hunger for true hunger. Brain hunger is a craving for a specific food that starts in our brain. In contrast, true hunger starts in our stomach. For example, when you crave certain foods like a candy bar or ice cream, this is brain hunger not true hunger. Understanding the difference between these two types of hunger is an essential skill for living a naturally healthy life free from type 2 diabetes and other weight related diseases. During this podcast, I discuss strategies for recognizing brain hunger. I also discuss the hunger scale, which is a tool I...2020-10-1820 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #63 How to Manage the Weekends
When it comes to living a naturally healthy life free from diabetes and other weight related diseases, the weekends and holidays can be challenging. Family get-togethers and evenings out with friends often result in overeating, higher blood sugars and a growing waistline. Even if you are “good” all week long, a weekend of uncontrolled eating can undermine any weekday gains. During this podcast, I discuss the mindset that often drives overeating during weekends and holidays as well as strategies for staying on track. 2020-10-1131 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #62 Making Decisions: Do Don't Try
In my program, I teach clients to plan. Planning is a necessary skill when it comes to making decisions that serve your body. Being skilled at keeping those decisions is just as necessary. When you make decisions about food and health, do you give yourself an out? Are your decisions tentative? Like Yoda says, “do or do not do, there is no try.” During this podcast, I discuss the importance of making decisions and sticking to them.2020-10-0421 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #61 Hunger as Your Secret Weapon
We often think of hunger as an emergency, but it is not an emergency. The fact is more people die from overeating than from hunger in America. Understanding the key drivers of hunger is an essential component to living a naturally healthy life free from diabetes and other weight related illness. During this podcast, I discuss how to differentiate between physical hunger, which is your body’s need for nutrients, and brain hunger, which are cravings.2020-09-2719 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #60 How to Manage Feelings
Feelings are important because they drive our actions, and inevitably our results. When a negative or uncomfortable feeling arises, it is common for people to manage these feelings with food. Food acts as a distraction and and buffers negative feelings by releasing dopamine, which is a feel-good hormone. Learning how to manage these feelings without food is a key component to living a naturally healthy life free from diabetes and other weight-related diseases. During the podcast, I discuss feelings and strategies for managing them without food.2020-09-2021 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #59 Planning for Success
Planning meals in advance is an essential strategy for living naturally healthy life free from diabetes and other weight-related diseases. But what does a plan mean? Just writing down the foods and times you intend to eat often isn't enough. When it comes to developing and following a plan, I teach my clients to get granular with their thoughts so they can "up level" their plans. After all, plans typically fail because of thoughts and brain chatter. During this podcast, I discuss how to plan to succeed by anticipating counterproductive thoughts and obstacles.2020-09-1329 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #58 Slowing Down to Lose Weight, Be Naturally Healthy
Our thoughts drive how and how much we eat. Often, we are use food to buffer away negative emotions. Other times, we associate limiting our eating with feelings of deprivation, anxiety, or scarcity. These feelings cause us to eat foods that don’t serve our bodies as well as overeat. Slowing down and enjoying our food is one strategy that can help you be more intentional about eating. For example, Blue Zone research has shown that people who pray before meals eat more sensibly. This is most likely because they are slowing down and not allowing feelings of anxiety, sc...2020-09-0626 min

Do you find you are constantly saying, “I’ll start my diet tomorrow” or “this Monday I begin exercising” only to start, quit and postpone again? Learning how to stop putting off the hard work is key to living a naturally healthy life free from diabetes, heart disease and other weight-related diseases. During this podcast, I discuss why starting tomorrow doesn’t work and how to stop procrastinating.2020-08-3013 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #56 Giving Equal Airtime to Thoughts
Living a naturally healthy life free from diabetes, overeating, over-drinking, smoking and the associated diseases, requires making healthy choices. Making the healthy choice, however, can be challenging because we get caught up with feelings of deprivation. Many people attempt to muscle through the challenge using only will-power. Inevitably, will-power will fatigue. That is why it’s so important to acknowledge all your desires – the desire for pizza and the desire to be fit and healthy – and give them equal attention. During this podcast, I discuss the importance of recognizing our competing desires and giving both thoughts equal consideration, and how th...2020-08-2318 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #55 The Most Damaging Thoughts to Living a Naturally Healthy Life
When it comes to living a naturally healthy life free from diabetes or other weight-related disease, it is important to understand thoughts. Thoughts drive feelings, actions and inevitably our results. Gaining a better understanding of our thoughts is the first step towards getting better results. The challenge for many of my clients, is that we seem to have many different and seemingly contradictory thoughts. We both want to eat the Oreos and to be healthy. During this podcast, I discuss these contradictory thoughts and how making intentional decisions is what matters when it comes to living naturally healthy. 2020-08-1613 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #54 Taking the First Step Towards Living a Naturally Healthy Life
When it comes to living a naturally healthy life free from type 2 diabetes or other weight-related diseases, often the first step is the most difficult. This is because taking that first step requires us to believe in a different possibility, which means we must believe in ourselves. For some clients, taking the first step means overcoming disbelief, insecurities, shame or competing desires. During this podcast, I discuss the different challenges clients face and how addressing the thoughts that drive these beliefs is essential to living a naturally healthy life.2020-08-0932 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #53 The Importance of Sleep: How Sleep Impacts Health
There is a sleep shortage epidemic in America. The problem is, just like poor diet or sedentary lifestyle, lack of sleep has many significant negative effects on the human body. In fact, the World Health Organization lists lack of sleep as a probable carcinogen. Not getting enough good-quality sleep impacts, weight, cardiovascular health, learning, memory, and so much more! During this podcast, I discuss why sleep is so important to living a naturally healthy life free from diabetes and other negative health issues.2020-08-0226 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #52 Emotional Eating
If you listen to my podcast, you’ve heard me discuss the idea that thoughts drive emotions, actions and inevitably results. When it comes to the action of eating, our desire for food is always driven by these same thoughts and emotions. Emotional eating isn’t always the Bridget Jones’ Diary image of a recently dumped and alone woman eating a gallon of chocolate ice cream. While these extreme emotions do drive overeating, often more subdued emotions like boredom or irritation cause us to eat. Additionally, we often tie food to positive emotions associated with dating, celebrations, and family. During...2020-07-2625 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #51 Naturally Healthy Life & Weight
When it comes to living healthy, I promote the philosophy that your human body is perfectly normal. Diseases like type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension and many others, are usually the result of not feeding your body the foods the earth naturally creates. Humans are the only animal that do not eat what the earth makes naturally. Squirrels aren’t saying, “I’m tired of acorns, let’s go out for pizza.” During this podcast, I discuss my straightforward philosophy and how this pertains to reversing type 2 diabetes, losing weight and living a naturally healthy life.2020-07-1914 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #50 The Manual
When it comes to our relationships, we often have expectations of how other should behave. Sometimes these expectations are implied and not plainly expressed. If someone does not comply with our implied expectations, which in coaching we call “our manual”, we may experience negative feelings. During this podcast, I discuss why manual work is so important to managing our emotions and reversing type 2 diabetes.2020-07-1232 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #49 Anatomy of Thought Change
One of the tools I teach for reversing diabetes is the thought model, which is the idea that thoughts drive feelings, actions and inevitably results. If you want different results, you need to work on finding a different thought. While conceptually this tool seems simple, applying and mastering this tool is much more difficult. During this podcast, I provide examples of how the thought model is applied and illustrate the many steps in the process. I discuss the challenges and iterations that are common on the road to living a naturally healthy life.2020-07-0520 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #48 F-it Moment vs. Doubling Down
When it comes to losing weight, reversing diabetes, or just living a naturally healthy life, always sticking to our plan can be challenging. Often, we will hit a crossroads when we want to say, “screw it” and eat the bag of Oreo's. We may even justify our actions by thinking we deserve it, or it is a reward for being so good. This is the moment, however, that will determine our future success or failure. During this podcast, I discuss why it is so important to double down on our commitment at this moment.2020-06-2820 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp 47 Pleasure
While the word “pleasure” often stirs images of sex, there are many non-sex-related ways to achieve pleasure. Pleasure is simply a feeling of happy, satisfaction or joy. Pleasure also has a biological component that includes the release of feel-good hormones. In fact, many highly processed foods have been engineered to produce an elevated release of these feel-good reward hormones. Consequently, most people turn to food as their primary way to achieve pleasure. These highly pleasurable foods are the same foods that make people sick with type 2 diabetes. If you are looking to reverse your type 2 diabetes and live a natu...2020-06-2128 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #46 Authenticity
The definition of authenticity or authentic is being of undisputed origin or genuine. In life, we often make decisions motivated by obligation or social pressures. Typically, these decisions are not in alignment with our authentic selves. During this podcast, I discuss how envisioning your authentic self and making decisions in alignment with this vision is an important part of living a naturally healthy life. 2020-06-1429 min
Living A Naturally Healthy Life With DelaneMDEp #45 Nutritional Hormones
Hormones play a unique role in why and how we eat. Chemical messengers produced by glands, hormones help regulate hunger signals and energy storage. During this podcast, I discuss the influence of the three hormones Leptin, Ghrelin and Insulin, and their influence on our hunger, satiety, and fat storage.2020-06-0722 min
Reversing Diabetes with DelaneMDEp #36 Ketone Bodies and EmotionsDuring this podcast, Dr. Delane Vaughn discusses how ketone bodies are produced and used by the body for fuel, as well as their health benefits and the reported associated euphoria. After reviewing ketone bodies and their benefits, Dr. Vaughn transitions into discussing emotions. Finally, she concludes by discussing how coaching provides the necessary tools and strategies to manage emotions, which often undermine our healthy intentions.2020-04-0619 min
Reversing Diabetes with DelaneMDEp #14 Nutritional KetosisWhen it comes to resolving type 2 diabetes, nutritional ketosis is a powerful tool. Nutritional ketosis occurs when your body breaks down fat for energy rather than carbohydrates. Also called the ketogenic diet, nutritional ketosis is achieved when blood sugars are low, no insulin is released into your system, and your body starts producing ketones. Research now supports the use of nutritional ketosis to rapidly normalized blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetics. During this episode, Dr. Vaughn discusses the benefits and challenges of nutritional ketosis. 2019-11-0421 min
Reversing Diabetes with DelaneMDEp #12 The Thought Model in ActionWhen it comes to getting new results, you first need to understand and critically evaluate your thoughts. Thoughts drive feelings, actions and inevitably your results. Both cognitive behavioral therapies and coaching utilize some version of the thought model to produce sustained change. During this podcast, Dr. Vaughn introduces and discusses the thought model. She provides several examples of how unproductive thoughts produce undesirable results, and how processing these thoughts is essential to achieving a different and better outcome. 2019-10-2120 min
Reversing Diabetes with DelaneMDEp #10 BecomingWhether becoming a new parent or learning to control your diabetes, major life change can be uncomfortable. Often, we start our change journeys naive of the hard work, failures and challenges we must endure. Change tests our resolve and beats us down. However, nothing worth having comes easily. The process of change takes time and can be scary as you learn and practice new skill sets. During this podcast, Dr. Vaughn discusses the process of change through using the analogies of parenting and crossing a river. She provides insights into the difficulties of change and how it can be scary. 2019-10-0721 min
Reversing Diabetes with DelaneMDEp #9 Chewing the Fat with DelaneMDThe low-fat, no-fat movement systematically removed the fat from foods with the goal of improving the health of Americans. Now, decades later, obesity rates and incidence of type 2 diabetes have climbed to epidemic levels and the failure of this public health experiment is apparent. While fat doesn’t have a specific taste, research has shown that foods with fat provide a fuller, more satisfying feel that stimulates the reward centers of the brain. When fat is removed from foods, we replaced those fats with sugars and carbohydrates. In addition, less fat means less satiety and an urge to consume more fo...2019-09-3019 min
Reversing Diabetes with DelaneMDEp #8 Embracing a New YouGetting new results requires embracing permanent change. This process can be uncomfortable, but it also can be very empowering. Learning to be a naturally healthy version of yourself takes considerable work, practice and introspection. During this podcast, Dr. Vaughn discusses her “ah ha” moment when she discovered she was truly changed and no longer needed external validation. 2019-09-2314 min
Reversing Diabetes with DelaneMDEp #7 How to Manage Food CravingsFood cravings are the desire to eat a specific food even though you aren’t hungry. Typically, people crave foods high in sugars or highly processed carbohydrates like cake, bread, chips and candy. These foods are nutrient dense, which facilitates an exaggerated release of feel-good neurotransmitters like dopamine. The release of these feel-good neurotransmitters is why we crave and often overindulge in foods that don’t serve our body. During this podcast, Dr. Vaughn discusses how to recognize food cravings versus “real hunger” and provides strategies for effectively managing these cravings. 2019-09-1526 min
Reversing Diabetes with DelaneMDEp #6 Why Sugar Cravings Are So StrongDo you crave sugary foods like candy, cereals and pumpkin-spice lattes even though they are making you sick? As discussed in previous podcasts, our primitive brain encourages us to eat by releasing feel-good neurotransmitters, such as dopamine. Highly processed foods that concentrate nutrients cause an exaggerated dopamine release, which makes us overemphasize the importance of these foods. This is especially true when we consume sugar. During this podcast, Dr. Vaughn discusses how our brains learn to crave certain foods and how food manufacturers use research to exploit this biology. 2019-09-0912 min
Reversing Diabetes with DelaneMDEp #5 The Primitive Brain: How Biochemistry Encourages Food AddictionsTens of thousands of years ago, the primitive brain was necessary to encourage decisions that benefited the survival of our species. Today, the primitive brain often encourages behaviors that don’t serve our bodies. For example, our primitive brain releases feel-good neurotransmitters when we eat foods high in nutrients, which was beneficial when food was scarce but today food is very abundant. In addition, highly processed foods artificially concentrate these nutrients causing an increased release of feel-good neurotransmitters and making foods addictive. During the podcast, Dr. Vaughn introduces the primitive brain as a basic concept in preparation for further discussions on...2019-09-0220 min
