Diabetes / Pre-Diabetes / PCOS
All of these conditions have their roots in insulin resistance. I can help my clients reverse their insulin resistance through changing their diet. This will not only get them healthier, improve their blood sugars, help them lose weight, and never be hungry. All conditions with a root in insulin resistance always make it very difficult to lose weight and feel high energy. This is not about genetics like people are mislead into believing – but it is a dietary issue. The great news is that insulin resistance can be reversed in a short time and diabetes, pre-diabetes, and PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome) can all be reversed through diet.
Inflamation
One of the biggest problems with these conditions is that they cause the body to be inflamed. Inflammation causes many issues that impact diabetes. Working on reducing insulin will improve energy and health by making the body less inflamed. I can help you develop a meal plan and lifestyle plan that will target the inflammation and allow you to lose weight without hunger.
Excessive Hunger
One of the symptoms are continually hear from my clients with insulin resistance is that they feel like they are starving – even a short time after they eat. There is a biochemical cause for this – it’s not their imagination! When a person with insulin resistance eats a a cookie, they actually become hungrier instead of satisfied. A person with a normal insulin level will eat that same cookie and start to feel full. I can help you reduce your insulin through diet and lifestyle so that you will feel satiated after a meal and be able to normalize your blood sugar which will result in being much more satisfied and able to lose weight without the usual struggle.

Common Questions
What is the difference between Pre-Diabetes and Diabetes?
One lab test will tell you your diagnosis. Hemoglobin A1C – (Hgb A1c) is a simple blood test that shows a 2-3 month average – as if you have taken your blood sugar every minute of the day. It is a percentage so that under 5.7% is a normal test result, 5.7%-6.4% is pre-diabetes and 6.5% or greater is diabetes.
What causes pre-diabetes and diabetes?
Both are caused by insulin resistance.
Can pre-diabetes or diabetes be reversed?
In most cases, yes. This is a dietary problem so by changing your diet you can reverse the problem.
Can PCOS be reversed?
Yes – this is reversed by lowering elevated insulin levels through diet and lifestlye.
What is one thing I can do now to get healthier if I have Pre-Diabetes, Diabetes, or PCOS?
Understand that lifestyle changes do not happen overnight. Make a commitment to yourself that you are ready to make a long term change in how you are living now with both diet and lifestlye.
