If you’ve ever worried that intuitive eating and blood sugar health can’t coexist… this episode is going to be a huge relief.

So many women feel like the moment they’re told they have prediabetes, diabetes, insulin resistance, or blood sugar concerns, they have to choose between trusting their bodies and going back on a restrictive diet. It doesn’t have to be that way!! 

In this episode, I’m joined by registered dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) Kristie Messerli to unpack what actually matters for blood sugar, what diet culture gets wrong, and how you can support your health without cutting out carbs or living in fear that everything you eat is spiking your blood sugar.


Episode Highlights:

– The biggest myths about blood sugar
– Whether you really need to fear carbs (spoiler: NO!)
– What to focus on instead of dieting if you want healthier blood sugar
– How intuitive eating can support diabetes and prediabetes management
– Practical, realistic habits that improve your health without making food consume your life

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with prediabetes or diabetes, have a family history of blood sugar concerns, or simply want to feel more confident that intuitive eating and health can go hand in hand, this episode will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and hopeful.

Because taking care of your health should never require hating yourself or living in fear of food in the process.
