Compromised blood sugar does not happen overnight, so don’t expect it to be reversed overnight either. If your blood sugar dysregulation has progressed to Phase 3, 4, or 5, I would highly recommend working with a practitioner for guided, individualized, 1:1 support.

I do not like to omit any one specific group because I feel that is not sustainable in the long-term (i.e. low fat, low carb, etc.). However, it is so so important that we source our food appropriately to maximize the nutrients we are taking in.

Type 2 diabetes does not happen overnight. (Thankfully!) And (unpopular statement...) just because other family members have a Type 2 diagnosis, doesn't mean you will have one!

Blood sugar refers to glucose that is circulating through the bloodstream. The sugars that we consume are broken down into glucose to be used for energy or stored for later use.

Purchasing high-quality protein and other animal products is an important step I have my clients focus on.

Navigating the holidays with dietary restrictions or while on a therapeutic diet can seem daunting and an impossible task.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! It’s also the time of year where we are a little more stressed, are exposed to less sunlight, and consume LOTS of treats.

There are many different therapeutic diets and it can be overwhelming to determine what they are and who they are targeted to help. I have put together a list of some of the more common therapeutic diets and the intention behind implementing them.

I know that food buying and terms can all get a little confusing… GMO, organic, grass-fed, pasteurized, plant based, keto, etc.

Let’s say you just started care or you’re dipping your toes in nutrition learning for the first time. There can be a helluva lot of jargon that can go over our heads: let’s learn!

Shopping strategically can not only help in the budget department, but we can also optimize our purchases for the most nutrient-dense options for our buck.

Gallbladders are vital to our body system and it’s one of the most popular organs to be removed so quickly! Surgeons often remove them, they’re often misdiagnosed as the root of a problem that continues to be a problem after removal. Once the gallbladder is removed we’re leave us lurking in the dark with very little education for what’s next.

Water filtration, do we need it Absolutely, 100% yes!

Most water disinfectant systems are treated with harmful chemicals, like chlorine and chloramine. That junk is in your tap water!

Digestion is a metabolic process. Wait, what is a metabolic process? Metabolic processes are chemical reactions that occur in our cells to sustain life.

How can I live my life and support blood sugar balance every day? How can I make it easy, so it’s just something that I do? I’ve got you, keep reading.

We feel full and satisfied after our meals, have stable energy throughout the day, sleep soundly through the night, and don’t experience cravings. That sounds like everything you’re NOT experiencing?

Do you ever feel guilty for snacking? Where did that come from?

I have done multiple posts on different supplements that support a range of health concerns such as low stomach acid, a weakened immune system, and gut infection.

Detoxification is super important because it clears vital cellular activities and organs to function efficiently. Our bodies heal and repair themselves naturally through this internal cleansing process.

There is no getting around the fact that purchasing high-quality food is more expensive than purchasing conventional food. Fruits and vegetables that are grown organically and meats and other dairy products that are pasture-raised and grass-fed are the better, more nutrient-dense option to consume for our health, but the ole wallet can take quite a hit if that is all we purchase.
