There are two main areas that many people struggle with when it comes to weight loss and managing chronic illnesses such as type 2 diabetes.

-Diet

-Exercise

This episode focuss on exercise, because it’s an important topic that I believe we need to keep simple and develop consistency in if we expect to experience lasting results.

Learn some of the common things many people experience that often impact their decision to incoporate consistent physical activity. You will receive practical tips on how to jumpstart your way to better health.

When you or your loved one were first diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, did you accept the diagnosis as something that was bound to happen?

Perhaps because you may have a family history of diabetes, you figured, “Well, I guess it must have been my turn to get it.”

Today, we're diving into a topic that hits close to home for many of us: the misconception that diabetes is predestined for some of us due to our family history or ethnicity.

After all, when you are constantly asked about your family history, and you read literature that proposes that African Americans are at a higher risk of developing the disease than other ethnic groups, it can affect your beliefs about the possibility of turning around your health.

In today's episode, we discuss five key areas for living healthy and positioning yourself to achieve better health.

If you’re struggling with your weight, and you’re finding it difficult to shed those extra pounds you gained over the years, I know the struggle firsthand.

You probably look in mirror, and get frustrated. Maybe you hate weighing yourself because you know what the scale is going to say. The scale tells you, “You’re still heavy. You haven’t made any progress. You might as well enjoy yourself and eat what you want.”

In this episode, I’ll be sharing my personal weight loss journey in the hopes that my story will inspire and encourage you.

At the time of this recording, it’s the start of the last quarter of the year: October.

I got to thinking about the many people I talk with who want to reset their health journey after months and even years of falling back into old habits; mainly eating and the lack of regular exercise.

Like some people, perhaps you’re in the same boat. You may have started the year off strong, and you had every intention of sticking to your New Year’s resolution. Remember how excited you were to finally meet your goals?

Do you ever feel alone in your Type 2 diabetes management journey, wishing your loved ones understood and supported you better? It’s one of the worst feelings in the world. Isolation.

In this week’s episode, I open up about a universal struggle many of us face when dealing with Type 2 diabetes.

Drawing from my own experiences, I provide practical guidance on how to bridge the gap and find much-needed support from family and friends.

What value will you receive in this week’s episode?

Together, we'll explore

The importance of educating your loved ones about diabetes, openly communicating your goals and challenges, and being specific about your needs.

I emphasize the value of nurturing a strong support system, share insights on coping with potential disappointments, and guide you toward external support sources when your immediate circle falls short.

Finally, I remind you to express gratitude for those who stand by your side and empower yourself through self-advocacy in your diabetes management journey.

Is it avoiding junk food? Is it avoiding sweets? Is it eating more salad? Did you hear that going completely Vegan is the best change you can make?

The choices we make every day play a major role in our health. Food is the solution to improving our health, beating disease, feeling energetic, and reducing illnesses.

It’s time to take control of your eating instead of continuing to allow food to control you.
