We see it all the time. New diets and trends – low carb, plant based, high carb – low fat, #75Hard workout programs, you name it. All of which were not designed to support the woman’s body. The linear, checklist approach to diabetes management is actually more damaging for women who want to gain predictability in their blood sugars and work with their body.
Inside this episode, I sit down with my co-coaches Jessica Hrdlicka (RD/CDE) and Valeria Garcia (Women’s Wellness Coach) and discuss why our diabetes management doesn’t actually thrive off of routine and how our approach has created a groundbreaking space for our clients.
INSIDE THE EPISODE:
– The problem with linear solutions to type one diabetes
– Why low carb, exercising everyday and losing weight is an oversimplified approach to blood sugar management
– Why routine doesn’t mean more predictability in your blood sugars
– Who creates the diets, matters
– Why insulin resistance is a sign from our bodies
– Our BRAND NEW RESOURCE The Insulin Sensitivity Optimization Method!
