The Empowered Woman's Guide to Reversing Insulin Resistance Naturally
Can saturated fat really be healthy? YES!!
Hello, Beautiful Fighters!
Let's get real today. It's exhausting waking up each day feeling defeated before you've even gotten out of bed, isn't it? It's like your body is on a mission of its own, packing on more weight despite every diet and exercise regimen you try. You're constantly hungry, craving for more even after a satisfying meal, and feeling drained all the time.
It's time we change that narrative.
Understand Your Body
When it comes to insulin resistance, it's essential to understand that your body is not your enemy. It's simply responding to a situation that it doesn't quite know how to handle. Insulin resistance is a sign that your body's hormonal balance has gone awry, mostly because of excess sugar and starch consumption by you AND your mom when she was pregnant with you…YES! It started that long ago!
Embrace A Holistic Approach
The solution isn't another crash diet or punishing exercise routine, it's a holistic approach. The aim is to nurture your body, rather than wage war on it. Holistic health is not just about eating right or exercising—it's about mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being too. It truly is about the whole you!
Customize Your Nutrition
The most effective nutrition plan is the one that's tailored for you. We all have unique bodies, and what works for one person might not work for another. That's why it's crucial to create a nutrition plan that suits your lifestyle, your tastes, and your body's specific needs. Studies show that especially as women we need to be mindful of our hormones and life stage as we decide which nutrition plan will work best for us.
Harness Your Inner Power
The journey to reversing insulin resistance isn't just about changing your eating habits—it's about changing your mindset. Utilizing tools like meditation, hypnosis, and brainspotting, you can tap into your inner power and overcome self-sabotage. Connecting with your faith can also provide a strong foundation for this inner work.

Embrace Movement You Love
Forget the punishing exercise regimens that make you dread getting out of bed. Find forms of movement that you genuinely enjoy. Whether it's dancing, yoga, gardening, or walking your dog, the key is to move in ways that bring joy. And know that you don’t have to start out with exercise. Even weight loss is 90% diet and 10% exercise. I always tell my clients to wait to start moving until they feel like they have the energy!! It always happens when they stick to the plan.
Find Your Supportive Tribe
The journey to reversing insulin resistance can be challenging, but you don't have to do it alone. Surround yourself with people who support and encourage you. Lean on them when the going gets tough and celebrate with them when you achieve your milestones. Don’t have a tribe of your own? Join mine!
