Reversing Insulin Resistance—Without Giving Up Your Culture
Why the right food strategy matters more than restriction
Have you been told you have to give up rice, tortillas, or fruit to reverse insulin resistance or manage type 2 diabetes?
In this episode of Blood Sugar Unfiltered, I’m calling out the food noise, shame-based coaching, and confusing advice that makes you feel like you have to choose between your health and your heritage. Spoiler: you don’t.
You'll learn:
- What “food noise” is and how to turn it down
- Examples of conflicting online advice and shame-driven messages
- How to eat cultural foods with confidence
- The 3-part strategy I teach my clients to balance blood sugar without restriction
- What to say when someone questions what’s on your plate
You can reverse insulin resistance.
You can manage type 2 diabetes—sometimes even reach remission.
And yes, you can enjoy the food that raised you.
