Sleep aids like melatonin supplements, nagnesium, and sleep aid medication can help you fall asleep, ut they don’t address the root issue of your sleep listurbances.

When you have type 2 diabetes and your blood sugars are elevated, it can lead to disruptions in sleep because your body is trying to get rid of the excess sugar (peeing it out).

And when your blood sugar is too low, your body also wakes up because of the need for energy and balance to be restored.

Sleep aids May help temporarily, but getting to the root cause and stabilizing your blood sugar can help support deeper sleep.

And when you do that, you think more clearly, you’re friendlier with loved ones, and you may even lose weight, too!

I’m typically not a pumpkin spice gal, but since fall is officially here I decided to whip up a batch of pumpkin protein overnight oats. I’ve had a busy October and having breakfast prepped in the mornings is a game changer!

It’s packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fat to keep me full and energized throughout the day.

This pumpkin pie oats comes together in just a few minutes and requires just a few simple ingredients like rolled oats, pumpkin, Greek yogurt, almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla, and protein powder.

And to give my breakfast a superfood boost, I’ve been adding colostrum! Heart and soul gifted me their colostrum to try, and I was so excited because of the digestion and immune benefits. And if you have kids, you want all the immune support you can get to ward off the colds and ickiness they bring home.

I was also excited to try their colostrum because it’s fully fatted and not heat-treated, meaning all of the nutrients are in their active form to provide all the benefits.

It blends so well and adds a rich creaminess to my pumpkin pie oats, all the while delivering immune support and a digestive boost.

If you’ve ever been told to “eat less and move more” and it instantly made you feel down and defeated, you’re in the right place.

As a dietitian and diabetes educator who helps clients with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes lower their blood sugars and lose weight, let me tell you, this advice is outdated & overly simplistic and it doesn’t work for those with yo-yo dieting history.

There’s one thing your blood sugars has been missing and it’s personalized nourishment.

Getting your blood sugars to target shouldn’t feel like a punishment or something you’re just trying to “get through.”

And when you learn how to eat ENOUGH of the right foods and exercise because it makes you feel good, it’s so much easier to lower your a1c!

This is why so many of my clients not only lower their A1c below 7%, but are able to maintain it long after our work together is done!

Like client B, who lowered her A1c to 5.3 while eating bananas, grapes, and pineapple.

And client N, who lowered her A1c to 5.7 even while on an extended family vacation!


If you want to lower your A1c without giving up your favorite foods or making it feel like a full time job, this is your sign!

My November coaching spots are now available! Comment ME and let’s start a conversation to see if coaching is a good fit for you!

Most people think they need to radically change their lives to see weight loss and finally lower their a1c.

But making dramatic changes to your routine is likely the exact reason why you feel like you “can’t stick to your diet” and “fall off the wagon.”

My most successful clients make tiny changes to their lifestyles and see their impact compound overtime!

Like client A who started adding balanced breakfasts, going to the gym 1-2x/week, and getting to bed a little earlier... and ended up losing 21 pounds and lowering his alc from 8.9 to 7.0 in 12 weeks!

Or client N simply adjusted breakfasts to add protein + fiber and was basically nighttime binge free in 6 weeks (and clothes felt looser)!

The tiny habits I incorporate make health doable AND repeatable so I feel energized and ready to take on the day without making it a full time job

What tiny habits will you do today?? Let me know in the comments below 👇

Everyone talks about protein (for good reason), but if you’re focusing on protein and forgetting about fiber, you’re majoring in the minors.

Did you know that only about 5% of people are getting enough fiber per day??

And did you know that you could:
🤗 boost your energy levels
🤗make your meals satisfying (aka no rummaging for snacks throughout the day
🤗get your blood sugars to target improve your body composition

Just by getting enough fiber in your daily diet??

It’s true!

It’s a forgotten, yet powerful nutrient, and now you know just how much to aim for each day to change your health for the better

But how exactly do you get fiber??

Here’s a few foods to start with:
Raspberries
Blueberries
Chia seeds
Flax seeds (make sure you grind them for better absorption)
Avocado
Beans & legumes
Sweet potato
Apples
Carrots

Are you getting enough daily? Let me know your favorite ways to add fiber in your daily diet below 👇

🍬 sugar cravings —> blood sugar
🥱 energy crashes in the afternoon —> blood sugar
🛌 waking up in the middle of the night —> blood sugar
😡 irritable —> blood sugar
😖 hangry when it’s been a while since you ate —> blood sugar
🏃 weight that won’t budge —> blood sugar

Whatever the question was, it’s likely that your blood sugar is the culprit.

You see, maintaining stable blood sugar is not just for people with diabetes.

When your blood sugar is on a rollercoaster it can:
🍽️ can trigger cravings and overeating
😴 can lead to middle of the night waking (and poor sleep quality may lead to overeating)
🏋️‍♀️ energy spikes and crashes

How about some good news?

Small tweaks—like balancing meals, incorporating carbs based on your tolerance, prioritizing sleep, or swapping a HIIT workout for a daily walk—can stabilize your blood sugar and get you closer to your goals. 💪

Which is exactly how client A lost 21 pounds and felt energy on vacations that he hadn’t had in YEARS!

I’m looking for 2 women who want to be personally coached by me to FINALLY get their blood sugars stabilized and feel like themselves again by Christmas time!

Comment READY below and let’s chat to see if personalized coaching is a mutually good fit 🤗

CGMs can be amazing tools IF you have support to know what you’re looking for.

Most people see spikes and remove food unnecessarily.

The truth is that there are so many more factors than just food that affect blood sugar, which means we need to ask more questions beyond “what did I last eat” when you see a spike or dip.

Questions like:
- am I stressed?
- what is my emotional state like?
- is it hot outside?
- when did I last eat?
- how did I sleep last night?

If you’re noticing a theme, it’s that these have nothing to do with how many and what type of carbs you are 👀

When you have a coach in your corner, you have clarity to finally understand what your CGM (and body) is telling you so that you can achieve your targets and feel your best again!

Maybe, just maybe your mood swings and short temper is because you haven’t eaten anything substantial today

Having a blood sugar stabilizing meal is the foundation for better moods aka better relationships (something your family will notice)!

Why?? When your blood sugar is low, your brain and body don’t have the energy source they need to function properly.
This leads to feeling:
🥱 fatigue
😠 irritable
😟 anxiety
Just to name a few.

However, when your body has the fuel it needs (protein, fat, fiber), you’ll have lasting energy and a stable mood from your steady blood sugars!

This is exactly what happened for client K.

Before we started working together, she said she experienced nightly crippling anxiety.

We made one tweak to her nutrition by adding blood sugar stabilizing breakfasts.

After just 6 weeks, she noticed:
🥳 significantly less anxiety (not the crippling kind)
🥳 zero to no binge episodes
🥳 waking up feeling rested with a better mood!

This sounds like something you want too, right??

And I totally get it!

You want to get your blood sugars out of prediabetes range, and everyone is saying that you need to cut out sugars and carbs to do that.

But diet is only part of the puzzle.

The real question is:
why is your a1c high in the first place?

The answer is likely a combination of stressors ranging from imbalanced diet, sleep deprivation, sedentary lifestyle, too intense physical activity for too long, undereating, fasting for too long, just to name a few.

Here’s what I’m NOT saying: we can find the exact reason why your a1c is in prediabetes range.

What I AM saying: prediabetes doesn’t just happen from eating too much sugar and it’s not going to improve just by cutting carbs.

What IS going to work is addressing the root cause of prediabetes which is insulin resistance, influenced by many factors outside of what you eat.

When you address the underlying stressors in your life, you see the needle move with your a1c and energy!

I just sent out a newsletter talking about these factors that your doctor hasn’t mentioned to you. If you’d like the list, comment INSULIN below and I’ll send it to you!
