In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Grace’s journey from nurse → patient → coach and how she reversed her own insulin resistance.
  • The first steps she took: food label awareness, budget shifts toward fresh foods, and removing carbs from breakfast.
  • Why vegetable variety and cruciferous foods matter — and how to ease in without overwhelming your digestion.
  • The role of strength, mobility, and cardio in improving insulin sensitivity (and why enjoyment matters most).
  • How sleep deprivation, night shifts, and stress hormones keep insulin high and cravings strong.
  • Why frequent nighttime bathroom trips may be an overlooked sign of insulin issues.

The connection between PCOS and type 2 diabetes, and why the risk is 4–7x higher.

  • A thoughtful look at metformin: when it helps, when it masks, and why lifestyle changes remain essential.
  • Simple, doable tools like 1 minute of daily breathwork to calm stress and lower insulin.
  • Mindset shifts: moving from perfectionism to progress, budgeting for your own health, and embracing the truth that “I’m worth it.”
  • Grace’s definition of true health: not lab numbers, but resilience, recovery, and being the active steward of your own body.

Practical tips to try today:

  • Swap your carb-heavy breakfast for protein + healthy fats.
  • Add one new veggie to your weekly rotation.
  • Insert “movement snacks” between work sessions.
  • Practice 1 minute of deep breathing (box, 4-7-8, or simple slow inhales/exhales).
  • Celebrate small wins instead of chasing perfection.
