EP216: Breaking Free from Excuses: A Path to Health and Wellness
This episode paints a vivid picture of the excuse cycle by following a scenario involving afternoon candy cravings, ultimately leading to a cascade of poor choices and negative emotions. It emphasizes the importance of understanding and embracing uncomfortable emotions like desire, frustration, overwhelm, and boredom instead of using food as a coping mechanism. I outline how women can create plans from their rational, goal-oriented minds (the prefrontal cortex) to counteract impulsive decisions driven by the primitive brain's desire to avoid discomfort. By naming and acknowledging the feelings that trigger unhealthy eating habits, you can learn to develop resilience and gain...

EP215: Proud Choices: The Key to Reclaiming Your Health and Beating Type 2 Diabetes
The discussion in this episod focuses on achieving better health and managing type 2 diabetes by making conscious choices about what we eat. It emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all diet plan; instead, the key is to stop consuming unhealthy, processed foods. The mindset advocated is one of setting clear, measurable goals and understanding why those goals matter. By constantly asking, "Does this decision make me proud?" when making food choices, individuals can align their actions with their health goals and build self-belief. The importance of this mindset is illustrated through a client explaining that despite decent blood sugar levels after...

EP214: When You Want to Stop
The desire to stop is always going to exist. There are a million reasons for this. The motivational triad of the human brain drives us to expend the least amount of energy possible, while avoiding pain, and seeking out pleasure. That keeps us from doing things that are hard if we can avoid it. Being exhausted from doing The Things each day. Nostalgia for comfort food. Boredom with chicken and veggies AGAIN. These are just a few reasons that we want to stop. The desire to stop happens for everyone. This will happen for you. And it will happen again...

One of the most common questions I get from women who are interested in reversing their type 2 diabetes is “how about alcohol?” We love wine. We love cosmos. And we are all grateful for microbreweries! Women want to know how much and what they can drink. They want to know what to expect with their blood sugars.

In this episode, I review the evidence in the medical literature regarding how effective these meds are at their stated claims. I also look at the price associated with these medications. Specifically, the price per pound you will pay to get the weight off. I do NOT dive into the long-term price of using these meds.

In this episode, I give you the single thing you must stop doing if you want to fix your type 2 diabetes. I don’t talk about bread, twinkies, or soda. This is not about the food you are eating. It is the thought that keeps so many women stuck feeding themselves food that makes them sick.

This week’s episode breaks down one of the most troublesome thoughts I hear from women with type 2 diabetes. It is a thought that the medical community gives patients. A thought medical providers give women that keeps them STUCK and SICK. “I have diabetes, I am just like that.” This is a belief women then apply to other areas of their health. “I don’t like to exercise, I am just like that.” Or “I don’t like vegetables, it’s just how I am.” This family of beliefs disempowers you from making any changes that will improve your health.

EP205: The Breakup
This week’s podcast is one of my favorite topics. Many women get STUCK unable to make the dietary and lifestyle changes needed to reverse their type 2 diabetes because of their “bad relationship” with food! When they can’t force themselves to stop eating the food, they become frustrated, worried, and confused. Then end up feeling guilty and ashamed that their diabetes persists or even progresses. When we have bad relationships with other humans, we have to change that relationship. This might mean exiting the relationship. There is a common experience amongst humans in processing these stages of emotions. These emotions...

Someone once told me, “Life is like a quarter that you only get to spend once. Spend it wisely.” Many women feel that we are pulled in so many different directions that we cannot find the time to invest in fixing our type 2 diabetes. We tell ourselves that our kids’ schedules, our family commitments, and our work requirements are why we cannot spend the time to learn to live naturally healthy lives. Of course, this keeps us stuck and sick. Learning the value of our time is imperative not only to living a naturally healthy life, but also to intentionally living...

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...

We 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.

Awareness 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...

Feelings and sensations are the way the human beings experience the world. Sometimes these feelings and sensations feel compelling. They feel like directives to actions.

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.

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 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.

Ep #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.

Ep #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...

When it comes to living healthy, I promote the philosophy that your human body is perfectly normal.

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.

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.
