Early on, most of her patients were type 1 and had to follow strict eating plans because of the types of insulin available. However, as insulin improved, their diets could become more flexible, allowing them to eat more freely.
Coincidently when processed foods became more common, she began counseling more people with type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes. She watched as the surge of ultra-processed foods undermined her clients efforts to manage their diabetes. These foods are cheap, convenient, and tasty, but terrible for your health. Ultra-processed foods are designed to be addictive by triggering pleasure in the brain through added sugar, fat, salt, and flavorings. It’s no wonder that diabetes rates are rising.

With her experience in diabetes and obesity care, she can help you improve your health, reduce the need for expensive medications, and gain control over your life.
