Welcome to Diabetes Game Changer!
Passionately working to improve the metabolic health of as many humans as possible through education, example, support and compassion.
Who is at risk for diabetes? You might be!
Right NOW, 88% of adults living in the US is experiencing insulin resistance, and 1 in 3 are prediabetic. 90% of them have no idea. If nothing changes, by the year 2050, 1 in 3 US citizens (including children) will have overt Type 2 diabetes.
What???? How is this not an emergency????
You might think that you can look at someone and determine if they are at risk for type 2 diabetes, but that’s not the case.
YOU could be the “1” in 3 right now, looking at a future with type 2 diabetes within the next few years. Don’t be reassured by your provider telling you “everything looks fine” if all that is being tested is the same old blood tests you’ve gotten with every physical.
30% of those with prediabetes today are NOT overweight and have NO IDEA they have a metabolic problem!
And you know who is NOT to blame for this?
You. Me. All of us humans who are confronting this reality.
Type 2 diabetes (and obesity if you also have that) are both caused by too much insulin. That’s it. End of story. Correct your insulin, and you solve the problems of both pre-diabetes and obesity!
And here’s the best news: it’s actually pretty simple to do this!
The first step: get tested! (And make sure you are seeing an Accredited Metabolic Health Provider who knows HOW to test for early insulin resistance). Second step: stop following the advice you have been given to decrease calories and increase your exercise. Stop the fat-free diets and the 6 meals a day. Stop the packaged foods and the protein bars. Above all, stop following the outdated US guidelines on what to eat!
It hasn’t worked for you so far, right? Or pretty much anyone else you know?
Are you wondering why it is a simple problem to fix, and yet many of us are metabolically unhealthy?
Because you haven’t been given the right tests to know your status, or the right tools and information to correct and reverse the problem.
It requires changing what and how often you eat. But not in the way you may think. Not in the way you may have tried in the past. Not in the way you’ve been told to do it by your doctor, your government and the diet industry. And certainly not in a way that forces you to starve!
Correcting your metabolic health is pretty simple and very straightforward. But here’s the thing: MAKING and STICKING to change, ANY kind of change, is not always easy.
Our brains get in the way! Urges, cravings, habits, mindset, thought patterns….it all affects best-health outcomes and habit sustainability.
I developed the Diabetes Game Changer program to help you with ALL of that!

In my programs, I provide a unique combination of personal experience and medical expertise to help my clients get the right testing, and then master not only the body’s natural metabolic flexibility, but also the urges, cravings and habits that make sticking to a health improvement plan so much more difficult.
Helping people prevent Type 2 diabetes is my passion and my privilege!
I approach the project differently!
I was tired of being told I needed to lose weight and get healthier, but getting NO useful information from the medical community on exactly how to do that.
I heard all of these “helpful” recommendations - they may be familiar to you as well!
“Eat less and Exercise more”
“Eat 1200 calories a day”
“Follow the US ‘My Plate’ guidelines” (or worse yet, the “Food Guide Pyramid”!)
“Eat a low fat diet”
“Stop eating fast food”
“Just stop eating desserts”
“Here is a prescription”
And here’s the worst one: “Your HgA1C blood test is normal.” (That test fails to catch insulin resistance until your blood sugar is already abnormal. You want to catch it BEFORE that happens! Metabolic health providers know what tests to do, how to interpret them, and it costs about $12.00 to do it.)
Are you sick of hearing useless advice? I sure was, and I AM a medical provider, and I was GIVING this advice for many years!
Over the years, I helplessly witnessed both myself and my patients progress to pre-diabetes and then inevitably to diabetes before my eyes. I felt there had to be a better way, and I set out on a mission to find out what it is.
And I found it. Get the right tests to find out if you are metabolically unhealthy and at risk. If you are, change the highly active fat storage hormones; get some data about your own blood sugar response to food using a CGM; teach your body to access your fat stores for fuel; correct your metabolic health; understand and master urges, cravings, habits, emotional eating, over-desire for food, food-related anxiety, overwhelm - all of it.
It worked for me. It works for my patients and clients.
Now let it work for you.
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably either been told you need to change your lifestyle to cut your risks, or you had a blood test that indicated prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, or you just want to gain your best metabolic health for YOU. You may have tried it on your own, but found that you’re missing the tests, tools and support to make useful lifestyle and sustainable habit changes. In the Diabetes Game Changer program, I understand exactly what you’re going through. I understand the physiology, the psychology, and the neuroscience. Maybe most importantly, I’ve been right where you are now myself.
I am also a provider for the CDC’s Diabetes Prevention Program
In good conscience, I can no longer offer this program. There is now overwhelming research data that supports a different approach, and our government (surprise, surprise) has not kept up. I want to practice based on what we know TODAY, not yesterday.
This program is a Game Changer for a healthier mind and body!
You will get the proper testing and a personal assessment of where you are medically, physiologically, neurologically, and emotionally. I use the information to create a personalized nutrition and coaching plan designed just for you. You will have access to a comprehensive online self-paced program of education, and you will meet with me for individual coaching regularly.
Eliminate urges, cravings, and habits. Master the thoughts and behaviors that will get you to your goals and beyond.
