I walk you through how I broke free from the cycle of daily back-and-forth, and how you can too.

299 | Rewire Your Brain to Reclaim Your Health
If you’ve tried everything to get healthy with type 2 diabetes and nothing sticks. What if you are not focusing on the right “right” problem? Maybe it’s time to look at your beliefs (not your food). This episode reveals how your brain’s Reticular Activating System (RAS) creates your experience by filtering in what you already believe. Whether it’s “this is too hard” or “I always fail,” your RAS is finding evidence to prove it true. But here’s the good news—you can shift your focus, change your beliefs, and get very different results. Learn how to direct your RAS so your brain starts working for your health, not against it.

Many people see quick success managing their blood sugars by cutting carbs, but what happens when you decide to indulge? Blood sugars spike, and frustration sets in. The truth is, type 2 diabetes isn’t just about food—it’s about insulin resistance.
In this episode, I break down insulin resistance using a car analogy—bad fuel (food) and how it contributes to poor performance of the engine (metabolic performance of the cell). Fixing diabetes requires more than avoiding sugar; it’s about healing your cells/engine. Ready to learn how? Tune in and take control!
